It is extremely hard for a woman to conceive in October, and the process of giving birth to a child is also a fight for life. During pregnancy, our emotions become sensitive and fragile, we can no longer eat our favorite food, our breasts tingle, our areola darkens... I feel that I am no longer my original self, do you feel the same way?
Mood changes
After a woman becomes pregnant, the change in hormone levels in the body will cause symptoms such as crying, anxiety, depression, sensitivity, and emotional instability.
Changes in hormone levels are the internal causes of emotional fluctuations in pregnant mothers, while negative psychological reactions caused by external factors are external causes that trigger mood swings.
Women are often both happy and worried when they find out they are pregnant. If the pregnant mother belongs to the sensitive type of person, she will not only worry about whether the fetus is healthy, whether it is a boy or a girl, but also care about the attitude of the husband and in-laws, as well as the pressure of life, interpersonal relationships, postpartum appearance and body shape changes, etc. Psychological pressure can be imagined. Especially pregnant mothers with older childbearing age are more likely to produce nervousness and fear.
Mood swings during pregnancy are normal. But it is true that about 10% of expectant mothers will experience mild to moderate depression during pregnancy. If you feel like you're feeling depressed on a regular or persistent basis. It is best to see a professional doctor.
Dietary changes
After pregnancy, the estrogen in the body will increase, which will affect the role of digestive enzymes, resulting in a series of changes in gastrointestinal function, in addition to causing nausea, vomiting, and anorexia in pregnant mothers, it may also lead to changes in taste. For example, I couldn't eat spicy before, and I especially wanted to eat spicy after I got pregnant; I used to love to eat sweet, and I felt very tired after eating a little after pregnancy.
