Patient's question:
Due to some things, my wife often cries. I heard that this is not good for the baby. What's wrong with it? How can it be avoided?Doctor's answer:
The current proportion of women experiencing psychological anxiety during pregnancy in our country is as high as 97%!Statistics show that the stress experienced by pregnant women is negatively correlated with the initial weight of the fetus and positively correlated with fetal deformities, which is detrimental to the health of the fetus. Fetal emotions such as happiness, restlessness, anger, and depression begin to emerge after 16 weeks of pregnancy. For fetuses around 9 weeks of gestation, which are in the period of sexual development, if the pregnant woman is in a state of continuous negative emotions such as anxiety and agitation, the fetus will be affected. The emotional experiences of the pregnant woman have a more pronounced impact on the fetus, which is why sudden emotional changes in the pregnant woman may lead to premature labor symptoms. The emotions of the pregnant woman not only affect the physical and personality development of the fetus but also influence its emotional intelligence development.
The latest research published by researchers shows that if a pregnant woman feels stressed during pregnancy, her placenta will transmit this stress to the fetus by altering the levels of certain proteins, and these proteins will affect the brain development of the fetus. Therefore, constant tension, anxiety, and poor mood during pregnancy can indeed impact the healthy development of the baby. Emotional (currently, there are music-guided imagery (abbreviated as GIM) and biofeedback training (abbreviated as SS-PBT) in medical practice), involves regulating the emotions of the pregnant woman to help her forget worries and anxieties, creating a fresh atmosphere and harmonious mindset. Through the neurotransmitter effects of the mother, it promotes the healthy development of the fetus's brain.
