Pregnancy is a very special and sensitive time in a woman's life, but ignoring mental health during this time can prove to be dangerous. According to experts, the risk of depression increases in women during pregnancy due to negative thinking and stress, which can have a serious impact not only on the health of the mother but also on the unborn child.

Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, women face many ups and downs physically and mentally. Due to these changes, many times women are surrounded by stress, anxiety and negative thinking. During this time, if they are constantly surrounded by negative thoughts, it directly affects their mental health, which increases the risk of depression.

Negative thinking can cause problems like lack of sleep, change in appetite, and lack of confidence in women. Along with this, women suffering from depression during pregnancy feel isolated, which can prove harmful to their and their child's health.

Effect on the child

The mother's mental health has a direct effect on the child's physical and mental development. According to researchers, if the mother suffers from depression during pregnancy, it can delay the child's mental and physical development after birth. Apart from this, stress and anxiety during pregnancy also increase the risk of premature delivery and low birth weight of the baby.

Ways to avoid depression

Experts believe that it is very important to take care of positive thinking and mental health during pregnancy. For this, women should resort to meditation, yoga and relaxation techniques to avoid stress. Maintaining conversation with family and friends and sharing your experiences can also prove helpful in improving mental health. Apart from this, if a pregnant woman is constantly feeling sad, anxious or irritable, then she should immediately consult a mental health expert. Taking care of physical and mental health during pregnancy is important not only for the mother but also for the child.
