Who is most susceptible to depression during pregnancy?

1. Unmarried pregnant women and pregnant women with weak constitutions are very prone to depression. Due to the length of pregnancy and their own health conditions, many mothers worry about whether the baby is healthy and suffer from both mental and physical damage for a long time.

2. Pregnant women who take medication or undergo in vitro fertilization are more prone to depression. These mothers are always worried about the side effects of the drugs and whether the implantation is successful or not, whether it will have an impact on the fetus, which leads to emotional instability. Once they become pregnant, they may lose the baby.

3. Pregnant women who have major changes in their daily lives are prone to depression during pregnancy. A major tragedy in the family during pregnancy, such as the death of a loved one, moving to a new home, or other emergencies, can all cause depression in pregnant women.

4. Women who have experienced painful experiences before. Pregnant women are prone to recalling their past difficult experiences, causing themselves to worry for a long time.
