Pregnant and postpartum depression screening is included in routine pregnancy examinations. Why are pregnant women susceptible to depression?

First of all, I personally strongly support the fact that depression during pregnancy and childbirth is included in the pregnancy test. I once read in a book that the body of pregnant mothers produces a lot of hormones, and this Hormones will decrease rapidly after childbirth, which leads to "postpartum depression". Compared with postpartum depression, it is called prenatal anxiety, which is mainly reflected in the worry about whether there will be any accidents during the birth process before giving birth.

Whether it is postpartum depression or prenatal anxiety, the psychological emotions of these pregnant women also need our care. Human pregnancy can be said to be the most sacred and interesting thing in the biological world. It is so miraculous that you can give birth to a baby with its own thoughts and growth within ten months of pregnancy. But at the same time, pregnant mothers It is also hard work. For them, sometimes they have to bear not only the physical load, but also the mental load.

In addition to the rapid changes in hormones in the body, another factor that can easily lead to maternal depression is that people around her do not pay enough attention to the mother. From the moment the pregnant mother becomes pregnant, whether it is her parents or her lover, Their eyes will all turn to the little life in the belly, and they will stipulate what the mother can and cannot eat because some foods will have adverse effects on the baby. Pregnant mothers need to fight stretch marks during pregnancy and face their own fat and out-of-shape figures. It is a girl's nature to love beauty. If it were not for the little life she has never met, who would want to bear these physical pains?

As for the postpartum period, postpartum is often the time when pregnant women are most susceptible to mood swings. I remember there were news reports a few years ago about a pregnant mother who jumped off a building with her two children due to postpartum depression. This kind of tragedy is something we You don’t want to see it, so it is even more important to take care of the mother’s emotions. After the pregnant mother gives birth, you might as well care more about her, say to her “Thank you for your hard work”, and measure the time you spend with the baby and the pregnant mother. As long as you Paying careful attention to the mother's emotions during pregnancy will definitely be able to effectively avoid depression during pregnancy.
