Generally speaking, prenatal depression is caused by the inability to meet certain psychological needs of pregnant women, and their body shape changes with the size of the uterus after pregnancy, leading to negative emotions in pregnant women. In addition, there are the following points:
1. Pregnant women may experience hormonal changes and various physical discomforts such as vomiting; Psychological fluctuations are also prone to occur, and emotions are more likely to be low. If women with poor psychological resilience do not receive sufficient comfort and attention at this time, they may exhibit mania, depression, schizophrenia, and even consciousness disorders and hallucinations
2. Worries about fertility risks: Concerns about fertility prospects and fetal health are a major source of anxiety for many pregnant women. They are afraid that childbirth will bring them great pain, and they also worry about their children being unhealthy, putting too much pressure on giving birth to a boy or a girl. Additionally, they may have conflicting opinions with the elderly.
