Mother's Day is coming soon, do moms in front of the screen remember how they felt when they saw their children for the first time? We spoke to a few new moms to hear from them and learn more about their stories of becoming new mothers.
Chen Wenjuan, a novice mother, said that today is the fourth day of motherhood, and she was admitted on May 5 and had a caesarean section on the 6th. I am afraid that I have just undergone surgery, my physical strength is not good, and I am also anxious about my appearance.
Novice mother Tang Qingyi said that today is her third day as a mother. I will be more worried, because if I am a mother for the first time, will I not be able to bring my children, such as breastfeeding.
From not having children to pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and parenting, these huge changes have only occurred in just one to two years, and new mothers are facing major changes both physically and psychologically, according to the "2022 National Depression Blue Book", 1 in 5 mothers in the mainland suffer from depression, and 63% of expectant mothers have suffered from postpartum depression. So, how do you help new moms get rid of their anxiety?
Zhang Yan, Deputy Chief Physician of the Department of Obstetrics of Wuhan Maternal and Child Health Hospital: After childbirth, because of the change of production hormones, there will be low mood, always tired, not interested in anything, depression, more or less, this is a physiological situation. The main thing is Bao Dad, who gives enough attention and companionship. To be tolerant of the mother, we must understand that she is a physiological emotion at this time, not a squeamish mother, some people think that she is really a physiological change, so this kind of depression appears, and more care and companionship should be given. For example, listening to music, watching movies, and listening to her more often will definitely help her through difficult times.
In other words, Bao Dad has to work hard to be the "antidote" to the anxiety of new mothers. At the same time, the companionship and care of the father is also of great help to the child's future emotional and character growth and the relationship between husband and wife.
Giving birth to life is a wonderful thing, and a child's cry is exchanged for a lifetime of love from the mother.
To all mothers in the world: You are yourself first, and then my mother, may the years be gentle to you, and love you more than 3,000 times.
