Pregnancy: How to Get Rid of Anxiety

We all know that makes me nervous is very harmful, and do it during pregnancy - even more so. Because our mental state is reflected in an unborn baby. Hardly anyone today is the need to explain. But is it possible to completely do without the anxiety and stress during pregnancy? Of course not. But this does not mean that we should not aspire to.

If you happened to grief

Sometimes in our lives the tragic event - which killed or seriously injured people close to us, the family disintegrates. What usually hears a pregnant woman from the surrounding "consolation"? That's right - hold on, you can not get nervous. And how to keep? When life is such a stable and happy, suddenly gives a crack. Do not worry in such situations is impossible. Although described many instances when the mother as if falls into a kind of trance - she is not aware of the situation, feels no sorrow, absolutely calm. It is believed that this triggered a psychological defense against stress. But this is not always the case. And what if one side overwhelms the mountain, but on the other - a sense of guilt over the possible negative consequences for the child?

First of all, you need to know that you are entitled on the mountain. Pressure in itself emotions is not always possible and correct. But, given your position to try to reduce the impact of stress to a minimum. Be sure to consult your doctor and explain in general terms the situation - if necessary, he will help you to choose a safe sedative. Try to assign a time limit within which you have every right to grieve, to cry, remembering the past. Of course, without fanaticism. After this period, you should try to tune into a positive. And let the unborn child will not you reproach (nervous harmful), and the incentive (I'll be strong not only for themselves but for him - helpless and totally dependent on the mother substance).

For example, Natalia, which in mid-pregnancy, learned of plans to leave her husband and leave her for another woman, has decided for themselves that will cry for a failed family life for two weeks and not one day more, and in the evenings because the day to work. The first few days turned out badly - the tears dimmed his eyes constantly, reporting lines blurred, thoughts were confused. I had to think about how would have to raise a child without a husband, completely rebuild their lives, and this new fears, anxieties. But by the end of the deadline in my head cleared, the mountain gradually began to let go - it overshadowed new plans and hopes. Of course, the experience of Natalia did not disappear so quickly, but considerably weakened. When we are trying to "suppress" negative emotion at the root, then the result is an inner tension that occasionally breaks out with a vengeance. And the case usually does not make itself wait ...


How terrible to live

Yes, some during pregnancy to live is especially scary. After all, on the TV show, both in hospitals dying babies, and the woman next door child with cerebral palsy, and another, it turns out, animals can carry dangerous diseases during pregnancy ... and how knowing these horrors can not be nervous?

We do not encourage you to turn off the TV, Internet and newspapers to refuse. Although, sometimes it is not harmful. Still, to filter information and do not listen to horror stories that have happened with familiar friends. And some of the outrageous transfer does not really look better - truth and fiction there's usually exactly in half. Source of reliable information has become, above all, your doctor, to the selection of which should be approached with great responsibility. And better do it before pregnancy. A good doctor - a specialist of high category, with the experience of having numerous positive feedback from customers to whom you can trust. You can be their own, additional requirements for the doctor. For example, for some women is very important that they all explained in detail, especially to treat them delicately, if needed soothed. For other relatively short phrases doctor that everything is in order, and the details of a completely unnecessary. When a pregnant woman trusts selected specialists, it is much less worried about his health and the health of your baby.

But there are situations when your world's best doctor suddenly went to a conference abroad or on vacation, and it was replaced by a stranger you an expert. Can I trust him? And then, unfortunately, the results of tests like as not the norm, and some weird pimple on lip jumped ... What do I do? First, the pre-Speak with your doctor the possibility of such a situation. Let him tell you to competent, in his opinion, the doctor. Even better, if you have a phone number for your doctor - if necessary, to contact them.

Internet, by the way, is not always a source of stress. For example, you can get there support from other pregnant women. For this purpose there are special forums where you can continue to communicate with similar interests people, not only during pregnancy but also has given birth to a child. There is usually possible to see the reviews of experts, and leave your opinion. And sometimes the web, we find reassuring information that helps us pass the time before receiving a doctor.

For example, Helen, once for a short time with bleeding to the hospital, and already having the experience of an unsuccessful pregnancy, very worried for the future child. A doctor in a hospital designated treatment and gave direction to the analysis. As a result, one of the hormones was two times higher than normal. Of course, calm the pregnant woman is not increased. Not having received from the doctor at the hospital no explanation, Helen began to search for information on the World Wide Web. After analyzing several medical sources, she was surprised and relieved to find that pregnant women are not appointed to be tested at the elevated hormone (got another name "stress hormone") - they are absolutely not indicative. This information was confirmed later in a women's consulting physician, to whom Helen trusted. But the week that has passed since the receipt of "bad" analysis before discharge from hospital and doctor visits, in consultation, would be for a pregnant woman is very alarming. The cause of bleeding was also bursting at the neck of the vessel ...

I must say that even if something is really not the norm (tests, health), then it is an occasion not to panic and seek clarification from the doctor. Today is treated very much, and with minimal risk to the child. In addition, tests are usually done by people, not machines, and they, unfortunately, and indignation of many, sometimes err ... Therefore, when obtaining bad results is better to retake the analysis, perhaps even in another laboratory.

Yes, from anxiety to pregnant women is difficult to escape. But perhaps that is not required. After all, if some of the worries, you can simply look away, something else must look squarely in the face - and then they disappear in the face of the knowledge of experienced experts and your faith in the best.
