Some time ago, Kojima chatted with a pregnant friend, and it is more accurate to say "enlightenment". Because this friend has been under the pressure of "self-tension" all day since she became pregnant, mainly because she felt that after she became pregnant, she did not have real money and silver to pay for the family, so she was very guilty, and she often cried alone until late at night.
After pregnancy, many pregnant women will "feel stressed", these pressures are not only from the impact of fetal development on the body, but also from psychological pressures, such as no financial resources, body deformation, production panic, career development and so on.
It is normal to have stress during pregnancy, but if the pregnant woman cannot handle these stresses, then it will have an impact not only on the mother, but also on the child, and even this effect is a lifetime.
Stress levels in women during conception affect "having children"
We often say that the birth of a boy and a girl is decided from the moment the fertilized egg is formed, and the probability is 50% each. But in fact, the sex of the fetus will also be affected by the mother to a certain extent.
Researchers at a foreign university found that women with greater stress before pregnancy were more likely to have girls.
When a woman lives under pressure for a long time, not only financial pressure, but also poor physical condition, poor living conditions, and even lack of food and clothing, the biological induction in the mother's body will make her give birth to a girl.
After observation, it is not difficult to find that after some relatively large disasters, the birth rate of female babies has increased, which is also the choice made by biological groups when facing great pressure.
Because women are the main productive force in reproduction, if you want to preserve better fertility possibilities, you have to give birth to more women who are easy to survive. This is also why natural evolution has evolved to have more women than men.
Under pressure, mothers who conceive boys are more likely to miscarry
Compared with girls, mothers who are pregnant with boys require more time and energy from the mother, resulting in the mother's body being severely damaged and more likely to miscarry.
In addition, in the case of greater pressure on the mother's body, the male Y chromosome becomes more fragile and less energetic due to adaptation; in women, the chemical properties of the body are changed under greater pressure, which is more conducive to the survival of sperm of the X chromosome.
To put it bluntly, women in a stressful physical environment, will give preference to the X chromosome, may reject the Y chromosome, naturally more likely to give birth to girls.
Excessive stress during pregnancy can affect the brain development of the fetus
The pressure during pregnancy is greater, which not only affects the sex of the fetus in pregnancy, but also affects the development of the fetal brain.
One study showed that when pregnant women endured pressures such as marital quarrels, job departures, and fetal sex during pregnancy, they may bring loss of development of the brain's white matter bundle to the fetus.
To put it simply, the pressure of pregnant women will send signals to the fetal brain, which will cause children to be anxious and irritable in adulthood, which is a substantial impact on brain damage.
How to better relieve stress during pregnancy?
The various pressures of pregnant women during pregnancy are far from enough to be relieved by a woman alone, and a family needs to face it together.
First of all, pregnant women have any discomfort to communicate with their families in time, do more things to make themselves happy, such as exercise, go out for a walk, eat some delicious food...
Secondly, husbands should also maintain effective communication with their wives, and usually maintain good living habits and work habits, so as to ensure health problems and income stability.
Finally, for the family income problem after pregnancy, whether it is real money or not, both sides are contributing to the family, but the form is different, so pregnant mothers really do not need to double the pressure because of income problems.
Kojima would like to say:
Whether it is to have a boy or a girl, it is just as good, but if you are too stressed during pregnancy, it will cause postpartum depression, and even certain psychopathological symptoms will appear.
Being a mom isn't easy, and mental health during pregnancy needs more attention. And if you want to get pregnant, you need to give the pregnant woman more emotional and physical support during pregnancy, and excessive pressure will often backfire.
