The psychological changes brought by physical changes during pregnancy, the pressure brought by the desire for eugenics, and the unknown future life … all these factors make pregnant women's psychology in a changeable state.
They don't know whether they can get pregnant safely in 10, whether the future baby is healthy and smart, whether the eating and living habits are reasonable, and whether the pregnancy reaction and the pain that childbirth may bring ... all these have brought various emotional influences to expectant mothers who are pregnant with new life. The physical and mental health of pregnant women is very important for the healthy growth of themselves and their babies, so let's work with Lee Hung, the chief physician of Chaoyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital, to understand what psychological problems pregnant women may encounter at different stages of pregnancy and help them spend this special and meaningful stage of their lives healthily.
Early pregnancy: keep relaxed and happy, and drive away useless anxiety.
Poor inheritance, in fact, from the time of pregnancy in October, expectant mothers and fathers began to worry about their future babies. For example, in the early pregnancy, some pregnant women will have a kind of worry and fear about what will happen, and they will worry about whether they have the ability to give birth to a healthy and intelligent baby. Especially when they come into contact with computers, decoration materials, medicines, pets, patients and other factors that are unfavorable to the fetus, they are more worried about whether it will affect the fetus and cause fetal malformation. Some couples get pregnant unexpectedly and are unprepared. Some pregnant women are not pregnant at the best time, for example, they are too old, the season is not good, etc ... All kinds of problems make pregnant women easy to be in a state of worry and anxiety, and they don't know if they can give birth to an excellent baby. These problems make pregnant women in an unstable psychological state.
In addition, in the early pregnancy, most pregnant women will have different degrees of pregnancy reactions, such as nausea, vomiting, anorexia, chest tightness, low back pain and so on. And most of them will last for a while. This will also make pregnant women feel bad and irritable, and may even send some nameless fire to their husbands.
Countermeasures
A wife should have a correct understanding of pregnancy reaction, keep her mood comfortable and stable, think more about some pleasant things and watch some light and humorous movies and TV plays, which will alleviate some psychological anxiety. You can go to some places with good environment for a walk. Husbands should be considerate and take care of their wives, and talk and walk with them more often. You can also talk to your close friends about your troubles or keep a diary; See a psychiatrist if necessary. In addition, pregnant women should not close themselves at home, but make positive and optimistic friends.
If pregnant women have worried psychology and emotions, they should be eliminated in time. Older pregnant women with a history of genetic diseases should always check the development of the fetus in order to find problems and deal with them as soon as possible. If pregnant women suffer from hypertension, heart disease and other diseases, they should go to the hospital on time and follow the doctor's advice at any time to ensure the health of pregnant women and fetuses. For some unnecessary worries, pregnant women can rest assured through consultation. When you are worried, nervous, depressed or bored, do something you like or like.
Second trimester: it is not appropriate to care too much and ignore it too much.
In the second trimester, with the healthy growth of the fetus, pregnant women have gradually accepted their pregnancy. However, at this time, some pregnant women have developed dependence psychology under the care of their husbands, family members and friends. Some people become emotionally fragile, feel dependent on their husbands, and even hope that their husbands can be self-centered. In addition, with the change of body shape, some pregnant women worry that the change of their body shape will affect their image in the hearts of their husbands and others. There are also pregnant women who want to make sure that they and
The fetus is healthy and safe, becomes cautious and can't even do simple housework. But there is a completely opposite situation, that is, some pregnant women think that they are very stable during this period, generally there will be no problems, and there is no need to go to the hospital for examination.
Countermeasures
At this time, although the physical condition is relatively stable, don't be too relaxed psychologically. Because pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome and anemia may also occur in the second trimester, you must go to the hospital on time. Moreover, proper exercise at this stage is beneficial, and pregnant women can do some mild housework or go to work normally.
And the husband should say something warm at this stage. But the wife should understand that the husband has his own career and work, and should not rely too much on him. He should learn to adjust and balance himself psychologically.
Third trimester: Instead of thinking about the east and the west, it is better to divert attention.
Be pregnant in October and give birth once. Pregnancy is the happiness at the moment when a new life is born. However, in the third trimester of pregnancy, some pregnant women will fall into a psychological shadow: will they be premature? Can you give birth smoothly? Is there any danger to your life during childbirth? Does childbirth hurt? Will there be any problems when the child is born? Is it a boy or a girl? Will you be in worse health after giving birth to your own child?
Others think more. They even doubt whether their husbands still love them after giving birth and whether they have the ability to educate their babies. All these ideas put pregnant women under great psychological pressure in the third trimester. If it cannot be relieved in time, it will have a negative impact on delivery and fetal health.
Countermeasures
To overcome the fear of childbirth, pregnant women should learn relevant medical knowledge with their husbands, understand the whole process of childbirth and possible situations, know how to cooperate during childbirth, and carry out relevant training before childbirth to reduce psychological pressure. It is also necessary to have regular check-ups in the third trimester, especially when the expected date of delivery is approaching, and the husband should always accompany him. It is also necessary to divert attention at this time. Pregnant women can do more things they like, which can stabilize their mood and reduce prenatal anxiety and tension. In addition, pregnant women can often give themselves positive psychological hints, such as telling themselves that they are going to see the baby, and so on. Before the signs of delivery appear, pregnant women should stay at home with peace of mind, unless the doctor recommends hospitalization in advance.
In addition, Lee Hung also pointed out that pregnancy and postpartum are the high-risk stages for women to suffer from depression. It is found that about 50% to 75% of women will have postpartum depression in the first week after delivery, while 10% to 15% of women will have postpartum depression, and the risk of depression will gradually increase as early as the third month of pregnancy. Therefore, experts remind that in addition to paying attention to psychological adjustment at all stages of pregnancy, we should also pay attention to preventing postpartum depression. If there are symptoms of postpartum depression, and there are signs of self-blame, failure to take care of the baby or even hurting the baby, it is time for psychological counseling as soon as possible.
