My wife has a bad temper after pregnancy, and there is really a "scientific basis" for this!

Many expectant mothers will find that their temper becomes worse after pregnancy and they get angry easily, but they will feel regretful afterwards. Why am I so moody after pregnancy?

Why is it easy to lose temper during pregnancy?

The moodiness of expectant mothers during pregnancy is closely related to pregnancy. There are two main reasons:

1. Changes in progesterone affect psychological state

After pregnancy, many physiological changes will occur in the expectant mother's body. Among them, pregnancy-related hormones, such as chorionic gonadotropin, progesterone, and estrogen, will cause changes in appetite, breast pain, and changes in the reproductive system. These changes will also affect the psychological state of expectant mothers, especially those who have a history of adverse pregnancy and childbirth and are older. Anxiety and depression may be more obvious.

For those expectant mothers who are worried about their own and their fetus' health, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible so as to understand their own and their fetus' health status in a timely manner. If everything goes well, the expectant mother's anxiety and worry will be reduced a lot, and her moodiness will also improve.

2. Worrying about your child causes emotional anxiety

Many expectant mothers experience anxiety because they worry that they are not up to the role of a new mother or because of their fear of childbirth. In this case, it may be helpful to talk to people who have experienced this and are in a positive state. Their encouragement, comfort and personal experience will give the expectant mother great psychological support and help her build confidence. Expectant mothers can also attend maternity schools and read some books on childbirth and parenting to gain more knowledge and come out of confusion and helplessness, which will greatly relieve their anxiety.

How to relieve emotions during pregnancy?

Studies have found that the mother's psychological state during pregnancy, such as fear, tension, sadness, worry, depression, ecstasy, etc., will affect the normal growth and healthy development of the fetus to a certain extent. Therefore, expectant mothers must learn to relieve their emotions.

1. We must develop a good habit of respecting and caring for pregnant women, and create living conditions and an objective environment that are conducive to eugenics and eugenics through a warm and harmonious family atmosphere, adequate and beneficial rest, and healthy and civilized cultural entertainment.

2. Expectant mothers should strengthen their self-cultivation, be broad-minded, and avoid being irritable, fearful, depressed, and laughing excessively.

3. Develop good living habits, avoid going to downtown areas and dangerous areas, do not read obscene and murderous books and films, look at more beautiful scenery and pictures, read more books and periodicals on eugenics and good mental and physical health, listen to more light music, etc.
