Why maintain a good attitude during pregnancy and childbirth?

If a mother is humorous, cheerful, loving, and open-minded, it will promote her own physical health and fetal growth and development. If a mother is in emotional anxiety, uneasiness, fear and depression for a long time, so it is easy to give birth to low-weight children, and children are often restless, easy to cry, do not love to sleep, such children often grow up to be poorly adapted to the environment, and may also have learning difficulties and various emotional and behavioral problems when they grow up, such as overactive, unable to concentrate, etc., the incidence rate is 3-4 times that of normal people. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a good mental state during pregnancy and childbirth!

What kind of mentality during pregnancy and childbirth is conducive to the growth of the baby?

During pregnancy, I want to be a peaceful mother, which is expressed as quiet, joyful, happy, optimistic, and gregarious.

Now when the mother arrives pregnant, she thinks: Oh, will it be miscarriage? Will it be deformed? Will there be a lot of bleeding during childbirth? Will you do a side cut? There will be a lot of tension and anxiety, and we especially hope that the pregnant mother will treat the pregnancy with a natural mother's nature: thinking that a new life is about to be ushered in, and trying to live a better life with the child is very happy. I hope that all pregnant mothers will enjoy the changes brought about by pregnancy and maintain a good state of health.

Long-term persistent psychological maladies can lead to excessive fear, anxiety, worry, and it is very normal for mothers to worry, not to see the child, not to raise the child, we do not know what the child is like. Moderate anxiety is good, but if anxiety is uncontrollable or unacceptable, such a state will affect the pregnancy and childbirth.

Anxiety is a complex emotional response that is a mixture of feelings of nervousness, anxiety, worry, worry, and fear. For example, we worry about the stresses of work, income, marriage and other kinds of life and the stress of pregnancy itself.

The other is depressed mood, will feel particularly irritable, very depressed, usually like things do not like to do, there are certain objective reasons caused by the occurrence of depression. This depression is based on certain objective things, and there are causes.

01 Evaluate yourself

Measuring tools that can be used during pregnancy and childbirth: Brain AT Overall Potential Assessment Technique, Depression Self-Assessment Scale, Pregnancy-Related Anxiety Scale.

02 False Belief Replacement: 12 Assumptions

1. No two people are the same

2. One person cannot change another

03 Other ways to adjust your mindset

1) Scientific understanding method: First of all, we must realize that pregnancy and childbirth is a most natural physiological process, do not need special tension and anxiety, probably understand this physiological process, do not be too confused.

2) Encouragement and support method: Family members and lovers must give sufficient encouragement and support to pregnant mothers.

3) Information inquiry method: to find information, but do not look up information excessively, do not rely too much on various public unconfirmed information.

4) Family comfort method: The comfort of the family is also very critical, for example, some husbands can't speak, often say "what to worry about, just be careful with your eyes, you see who is pregnant and what to do", "You don't think about it, it is better to clean up the house when you have time". Hearing such words, pregnant women will be more sad and aggravate some negative emotions.

5) Emotional relaxation method: such as mindfulness or meditation, now there are many mindfulness or meditation videos, audio, courses, etc. into the country, we may wish to use this method to pay attention to what is thinking and breathing at this moment, and completely relax the emotions. At the same time, with imagination, imagining beautiful things, imagining what the future will look like, these are all things that can relax yourself. In fact, many mothers are ignorant when they are pregnant, do not realize that they want to be a mother, have a baby, use imagination, imagine that the baby can feed, can stand, can sit on the dining chair to eat, so that there will be more responsibility for the baby, more love and attention to more diet and health.

6) Pay attention to the transfer method: If you are very upset, we can use various methods to divert attention, such as various pregnant mother classes, hand classes, singing, walking, learning flower arrangement, planting flowers and plants, and chatting with good friends. To know that the stage of pregnancy is not the stage of desperate work, to learn to enjoy the life of pregnancy, learn to cultivate the spirit, let yourself do more things for the baby.

The most important thing is to be a mother with a perfect personality, emotional stability, strength and bravery.

How to overcome worries about your baby's health in the future

First of all, it's normal to worry, don't be afraid of your own worries about your child. Correct understanding of this concern avoids collateral worry.

Secondly, during pregnancy, regular obstetric examinations are carried out in regular maternity hospitals or large hospitals, as long as the obstetric examination is normal, there will generally be no problem.

Third, usually pay attention to their own food, clothing, shelter and transportation before pregnancy, according to the doctor's instructions, not too arbitrary, such as taking drugs, radiation problems, do not do intense exercise, etc.

Fourth, even if the child is diagnosed with certain developmental problems, it is necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor, actively cooperate with the treatment, and then joyfully accompany the child to grow.

Prenatal education

Prenatal education methods are divided into environmental prenatal education, nutritional prenatal education, emotional prenatal education, aesthetic prenatal education, touching prenatal education, light prenatal education, expectant mother self-growth, learning, language prenatal education, music prenatal education, sports prenatal education. The most important thing in prenatal education is the connection between mother and child, and to let love come first. The baby is a part of the body, learn to perceive with the heart, experience with love, and constantly transmit various signals to the baby.

Another way is sensorless prenatal education, which is to completely inform the child of the life, imagination and hearing of the life, imagination and hearing through sight, touch, smell, taste, and hearing, and communicate with the baby. A good fetal church makes pregnant mothers a mother full of security, love, and happy mood.

Pregnant mother's psychology is particularly critical, to truly achieve a state of peace and happiness, it is necessary to overcome depression, anxiety, panic, through the use of scientific methods, healthy means to alleviate their psychological state, with a more healthy and peaceful and loving attitude to meet the arrival of the baby.
