Postpartum fear

Although being a mother is something that many women hope for, because most women have a maternal instinct in their bodies, they have an irresistible desire to get close to children. However, some women have weak psychological defenses and cannot accept the fact that they have given birth and their body has changed shape for a while, which can lead to postpartum phobia. This disease is very harmful to pregnant women. So how should we deal with postpartum phobia?

1. Inability to adapt to the physiological changes of the body after pregnancy, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. The fetus has just been accepted as a foreign body, and coupled with vomiting and discomfort caused by pregnancy reactions, pregnant women have varying degrees of fear of pregnancy and childbirth.

2. Paying too much attention to the pregnancy process, such as often worrying about the pregnancy being difficult or the fetus developing abnormally. Pregnant women who show a negative attitude towards pregnancy and worry too much about the condition of the fetus are more likely to develop complications during pregnancy and delivery is often more dangerous.

3. Worry about smooth delivery, fear of surgery, and fear of uterine contraction pain during delivery.

4. Fear of an unfamiliar delivery environment, fear of the painful moans or howls of the surrounding mothers, fear of the indifferent faces or verbal stimulation of medical staff.

5. Worrying about the gender of the fetus, the complications of childbirth, the inability of the fetus to survive, lack of care after delivery, and the financial costs, etc.

1. Irritability and anxiety

The main reason is that expectant mothers are not adapted to the normal physical changes during pregnancy. Expectant mothers are not used to some physical and physiological changes in their bodies after pregnancy, such as vomiting and discomfort caused by pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, and discomfort caused by loss of mobility and edema in the hands and feet in the late stages of pregnancy. These normal pregnancy symptoms make expectant mothers feel irritable and anxious, and thus have a fear of childbirth.

2. Depression

It manifests as expectant mothers being overly concerned about pregnancy and having a negative attitude towards pregnancy. Generally, first-time mothers pay close attention to the pregnancy process and worry too much about the condition of the fetus. They are prone to often worry about an unsmooth pregnancy and abnormal fetal development. They focus on various negative factors and thus show a negative attitude towards childbirth.

Worrying about whether to have a boy or a girl: Worrying about the gender of the fetus, worrying about the complications of delivery, worrying that the fetus will not survive, worrying about no one to take care of it after delivery and the financial expenses, etc.

3. Fear

In the final stage of pregnancy, pregnant women often show strong psychological dependence and hope to seek protection and attract attention from others. This reaction is not being squeamish, but a normal psychological reaction.

This is one of the important reasons why women fear pregnancy. Women all love beauty and have a strong desire to maintain their figure. However, it is easy to gain weight after giving birth, which is unacceptable for women who love beauty. In fact, if women do proper exercise during pregnancy and adhere to appropriate skin care during pregnancy, it will be easier to restore the original elasticity of their abdominal muscles after delivery and effectively shrink the deformed lower abdomen. After becoming a mother, you can also lose weight scientifically and restore your beautiful pre-pregnancy figure.

2. Worry about having a deformed baby

Some women have tokophobia because they are afraid of giving birth to a deformed baby. In fact, many deformed babies can be avoided, and prenatal examination is a very important screening method.

3. Fear of dystocia during childbirth

Some women have tokophobia because they are afraid of having a difficult labor or an accident during delivery. As long as you pay more attention to the appropriate, reasonable and scientific nutrition during pregnancy and do moderate exercise, you can greatly reduce the possibility of accidents. Generally speaking, women have a stronger appetite during pregnancy, and their families are very caring. Some pregnant women, in addition to eating a lot of meat and fish, also blindly take supplements, which causes the baby to grow too large and cause difficult labor. Therefore, during pregnancy, do not blindly eat a lot of nutritious food, but eat a reasonable diet and take supplements.
