How to relieve prenatal anxiety
Pregnant mothers who give birth for the first time are always particularly nervous and anxious before giving birth. I said I wasn't nervous, but I was scared. So what are the symptoms of prenatal anxiety? How can experts help alleviate the prenatal anxiety of pregnant mothers? Let's take a look.
1, correct the incorrect understanding of childbirth. Fear is mainly due to the pregnant mommy's lack of knowledge about childbirth and incorrect understanding of childbirth. Fertility is an innate ability of women, and fertility is also a normal physiological phenomenon. Most women can do it smoothly and naturally. If there are problems such as abnormal fetal position and pelvic stenosis, modern medical technology can take the baby out smoothly by caesarean section to ensure the safety of mother and baby to the greatest extent. Therefore, we should learn relevant knowledge during pregnancy, increase our understanding of ourselves and enhance our confidence in giving birth to a healthy baby.
The prospective father gave his wife a solid arm. In the last stage of pregnancy, pregnant mothers often show strong psychological dependence, hoping to seek protection and attract the attention of their husbands. This is a normal psychological reaction. The prospective father should shoulder the heavy responsibility of being relied on in time, give his wife a solid arm, and let her have a support in her heart.
3. Be mentally prepared before giving birth. Childbearing is inherently risky. Before giving birth to a baby, the couple should be prepared for all kinds of difficulties and be willing to take responsibility for it.
4. Welcome the baby with a tolerant heart. There are many malformations and congenital diseases that can be treated and corrected, and I am worried that they will not solve any problems. Therefore, welcoming your baby with a tolerant heart is your only correct choice.
5. Pregnant mothers should learn relevant knowledge, increase their understanding of themselves and enhance their self-confidence in giving birth to healthy babies.
6. Pregnant mothers with prenatal complications should actively treat complications, maintain close relationship with doctors, consult in time if there are problems, and maintain a good mood.
7. Read more parent-child websites and forums, communicate with some mothers and ask for more experience.
8. Do some healthy activities before labor, such as knitting, painting, singing and walking. Don't stay at home, lie in bed all day and focus on your worries about the future.
Factors of prenatal anxiety
According to the survey, 98% pregnant mothers have anxiety in the third trimester. There are many reasons for this prenatal anxiety. What is the specific reason?
1, urban women are mostly primiparas and lack direct experience in production. From TV, newspapers and other media, I have heard and witnessed many painful experiences of other people's production. Considering that I will go through this process, I can't help feeling anxious.
I'm afraid my child will be deformed. Although a lot of tests have been done, they are all done by machines, all kinds of tests. Some fetuses have health problems that cannot be detected. Pregnant women are very anxious about this and are afraid of giving birth to unhealthy babies.
3. Concerns about the sex of the fetus. Most urbanites can treat boys and girls correctly. But in people's subconscious, there are still some likes and dislikes about the sex of the fetus, or family members are more concerned about having boys and girls. I don't know the sex of the fetus, so I can't help playing drums.
4. Pregnant women with pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, pregnancy complicated with heart disease and other prenatal complications are prone to anxiety because of their own health problems.
5, due to the aggravation of various discomfort symptoms in the third trimester, such as skin itching, abdominal skin tightness, edema and other discomfort, the heart is restless.
6. Due to mobility difficulties, staying at home all day, paying attention to various negative factors and aggravating anxiety.
7. Worried that the career will be affected or the family economic pressure will increase after the child is born, resulting in anxiety.
Do 4 o'clock in the third trimester to relieve prenatal anxiety
Be pregnant in October and give birth once. After all, the body and mind are undergoing major changes. Besides the joy of welcoming a new life, pregnant women are more afraid, nervous and anxious. Doing the following four things can alleviate prenatal anxiety.
1, be a "good student"
An important reason for prenatal stress and anxiety is ignorance of the production process and fear of the "unknown". Pregnant women are advised to study more, such as taking time to attend the "pregnancy class" in the hospital and reading more relevant popular science books, newspapers and periodicals. And knowing what are the main signs before delivery and what is going on can greatly ease the tension.
2. Practice breathing in advance
Proper breathing is very important for production, so practice should be started in the third trimester. For example, when inhaling, try to let the ribs expand to both sides, and when exhaling, let the navel be close to the back. This way of breathing helps to exercise the contraction function of abdominal muscles and pelvic floor.
3. Walking helps to give birth naturally.
Appropriate activities can help the parturient to give birth naturally, such as walking slowly, walking and doing maternal exercises. But we must avoid tense projects. If the parturient has a history of cervical incompetence, placenta previa, polyhydramnios and premature delivery, she should exercise moderately under the guidance of an obstetrician.
4. Family is the strong backing.
When pregnant women are nervous, family is undoubtedly the most powerful source of support. Mother-in-law should especially understand the young people now, and say less "you are just too delicate" and "it's so difficult to have a baby!" Waiting for charges. Husbands should accompany and listen more, and give their wives confidence and encouragement.
Prenatal anxiety can be large or small, pregnant mothers should learn to adjust themselves, and at the same time, their families should help pregnant women alleviate their prenatal anxiety.
