Influence of Depression on Pregnancy
Author: Ham Pato
Much is said about the mental state of the mother after giving birth. May suffer a slight depression also called baby blues to a very marked depression in which sometimes is not able or take charge of their own baby.
There are diverse research on postpartum depression but not as much about the period of pregnancy, as being equally important at this point are already known the effects of emotional state on the baby’s mother is brewing.
A study by the University of Hong Kong published in the journal Obstetrics and Gynecology has demonstrated that feelings of anxiety and depression in the mother can have serious consequences for the woman and baby, and it is also one of the factors that prone to suffer depression after childbirth.
Specifically found that anxiety was more common than depression in most pregnant women and that both anxiety and depression were more common and severe during the first and third quarter.
I guess the first by the novelty of the story and the risks inherent in the early weeks and the third by the proximity of labor and assume the new role of mother to expect.
I wonder if the mothers of the study were all first-time or not, I think is quite a factor, because living a pregnancy for the first time with a novice logical concerns and doubts about the change of life that he movilizante is obviously coming to when we have gone through it.
Concluding the study, which concur, have recommended that physicians should continually assess the mental health of pregnant women, look at you drill too.
