At five or six weeks of pregnancy, pregnancy reactions begin to appear on pregnant women. Some pregnant women may experience severe symptoms such as frequent vomiting and nausea, which can inevitably affect their mood. Moreover, pregnant women are already sensitive and prone to depression due to trivial matters. So, what impact does depression during pregnancy have on the fetus?
Depression during pregnancy may affect fetal development abnormalities, especially in early pregnancy when various organs of the fetus begin to develop and take shape. If the pregnant woman's mood is not good, it can easily lead to deformities such as cleft lip and palate. When pregnant women are in negative emotions for a long time, the number of fetal movements will also increase, which can easily cause excessive physical exertion of the fetus and result in a lighter birth weight.
If emotions are suppressed for a long time, the physical condition of the fetus will be relatively poor after birth, and there may be digestive disorders. In addition, the fetus has a bad temper, often crying and restless, and poor sleep. In the later stages of pregnancy, if a pregnant woman is severely impacted, it may stimulate uterine contractions and bleeding, leading to premature birth or placental abruption.
The emotional state of pregnant women has a great impact on the fetus, so pregnant women should try to maintain a good mentality, not only to make their mood happy, but more importantly, to promote the healthy development of the fetus. If you encounter any troubles during pregnancy, you can communicate and interact with people around you more to alleviate the impact of negative emotions.
