Why Women Should Manage Stress During Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a period filled with various challenges, and excessive stress can negatively impact both the mother and her unborn child. It's crucial for expectant mothers to find effective ways to cope with everyday demands, including work, relationships, and parenting other children.
Understanding Stress
In our modern world, stress has become a constant. Originally defined by Hans Selye in 1936 as "the non-specific response of the body to any demand for change," stress affects people differently based on how they manage it. It can lead to numerous physical and psychological symptoms, which are often underestimated until they significantly harm our health. Currently, stress is linked to major health issues such as depression, hypertension, and heart disease, raising concerns in the global medical community.
Types of Stress
Stress can arise from both positive and negative experiences. Positive stress, or eustress, comes from joyful events like weddings or childbirth. Negative stress, or distress, results from upsetting events such as a loss or accident.
Pregnancy embodies both positive and challenging stressors. While it is a time of excitement and transition, the additional pressures of daily life can amplify stress. Women often have to balance work, household tasks, and family responsibilities while managing their pregnancy. Unfortunately, some women may also encounter unsupportive partners or experience relationship difficulties, adding to their stress level. Extreme situations, such as unhealthy living conditions, can further expose both mother and child to potential harm.
Effects of Stress on Pregnancy
Excessive stress can have severe consequences for the unborn child, potentially leading to birth defects, miscarriages, premature births, or even the tragic loss of both mother and child. The body releases cortisol, a stress hormone, which can contribute to high blood pressure. This increases the risk of complications such as preeclampsia in the mother. For the child, lifelong challenges like high blood pressure or developmental issues may occur.
Managing Stress
No matter the circumstances, it's vital for pregnant women to prioritize their well-being and protect their developing child. Whether facing positive or negative situations, effectively managing stress is within their control.
By focusing on self-care and seeking support when needed, expectant mothers can create a healthier environment for themselves and their baby.
