Why pregnant women feel upset and irritable

After pregnancy, women will undergo great changes, not only physical reactions such as vomiting, nausea, drowsiness and other early pregnancy reactions. Moreover, some pregnant women will experience major changes in temperament. Even if they were relatively docile before, they will become easily irritable and often lose their temper after pregnancy, which will also affect their family members. So, why do pregnant women feel irritable and irritable? Let’s take a look at the reasons below.

Why pregnant women feel upset

Progesterone and estrogen are female hormones that regulate your reproductive period and are thought to be partly responsible for your mood swings during pregnancy. But most pregnancy mood swings are simply because pregnancy is a time of huge change for you. You can be ecstatic at the thought of having a baby one day, and then the next day you can be worried about your future.

1. Self-psychological suggestion

When a pregnant woman is in a bad mood, she can use psychological suggestion methods to adjust her emotions, but you must use positive suggestion methods. At this time, you should remind yourself mentally that this is a normal phenomenon, let your mood ease first, and at the same time think about some of the beautiful scenes and things you have experienced in the past that you are proud of, which can relieve psychological pressure.

2. Target Transfer

If you are feeling upset because of something or someone, the best thing to do is to relax and do something that will pass the time without taxing your brain, such as listening to music or watching TV. Only when your mood is relieved and relaxed can you have the energy to do what you should and want to do.

3. Exchange of ideas

Psychological research shows that everyone has the desire and need to communicate with others. Some people don't want others to know what's on their mind, whether it's happy or sad, and are unwilling to express their feelings. This is not only unhelpful in solving the problem, but will also aggravate their own irritability and may cause psychological disorders over time. The right approach should be to find a close friend to pour out your troubles and tell him/her your true feelings. After that, you will often feel that the irritability in your heart can be eliminated.

4. Release through exercise

This method is to achieve the purpose of eliminating irritability by consuming physical energy. When a pregnant woman is in a bad mood, she may wish to go out for a walk, jog for a while, or do some simple yoga moves. However, expectant mothers must remember not to choose sports with large amplitudes, so as not to hurt the baby in the belly. Exercise can best relax your mood.
