Female friends also experience many changes during pregnancy. Not only will there be many abnormalities in their physical body, but they will also become very anxious mentally. Especially when it comes to the delivery period, pregnant women also have various unhappiness and worry about suffering from prenatal depression. Let's take a look at the harm of prenatal depression.

1. Prone to postpartum depression: If a pregnant woman suffers from prenatal depression, she will be prone to crying and temper tantrums. Pregnant women suffering from prenatal depression also have many concerns, such as the pain of childbirth, whether they will give birth to a deformed baby, whether they will make mistakes during the delivery process, whether they will have difficulty in conceiving, and so on. As a result, many pregnant women who suffer from prenatal depression often carry their anxiety and depression into the birth of their children, making them more likely to develop postpartum depression.

2. Abnormal fetal movement: When the pregnant mother is in a bad mood, the fetal movement frequency will be three times more than usual, or even ten times the normal fetal movement frequency.

3. Fetal indigestion: If the pregnant woman's mood is in a depressed state for a long time, the baby will often have physical dysfunction after birth, especially the digestive function is very easy to be disturbed.

4. Cause fetal deformity: The mood fluctuations of the pregnant mother have a great impact on the fetus. Excessive discomfort during the fourth to tenth week of pregnancy can cause oral deformities, cleft palate, and cleft lip and palate. Therefore, pregnant women must adjust their mental state in time, and the comfort and care of their family members are also very important.
