Quanzhou Anshen Psychological Hospital: Prevent postpartum depression by doing so
1. Get ready to change roles
It is best to prepare for the role of mother from the beginning of pregnancy. Husbands should spend time with expectant mothers to master more parenting knowledge through lectures, books, etc., and welcome the arrival of the baby together.
2. Do more aerobic exercise
Whether it is during pregnancy or after childbirth, proper exercise is very beneficial to the body. During pregnancy, you can go out with your family to bask in the sun, which is helpful for your baby's health. Enjoying postpartum exercise can not only release bad emotions, but also play a role in slimming.
3. Sit in a familiar environment
Confinement in a familiar environment, accompanied by the closest relatives, can ease the tension of the new mother and get good care. Family members should listen to the thoughts and feelings of the mother, and give understanding and care.
4. Family members take the initiative to take care of pregnant women
From the beginning of pregnancy, family members should always pay attention to and sympathize with the emotional and physical changes of pregnant women, especially husbands, actively share housework, take care of the baby together, and avoid feelings of grievance and depression in the mother.
5. Give the mother a quiet environment
After childbirth, the woman is exhausted and needs plenty of time to rest and sleep. Parents should properly arrange visits from relatives and friends, take the initiative to help take care of the baby, and do not stimulate maternal emotions because of sensitive issues such as body shape and baby gender.
