Prenatal depression may have adverse effects on the fetus, such as miscarriage, insufficient nutritional supply to the fetus and excessive fetal movement, which need to be analyzed specifically.
1. Miscarriage: If pregnant women have large mood swings, it is easy to cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction, inducing abnormal uterine contractions, thus triggering miscarriage.
2. Fetal nutritional deficiencies: when pregnant women are depressed, their metabolism will be slower, blood flow will be poorer, and the small blood vessels of the placenta are prone to spasms, prompting a poor blood supply to the fetus will cause fetal nutritional deficiencies.
3. Fetal movement too many times: pregnant women’s mental depression is easy to stimulate the nervous system, thus affecting the physical condition of the fetus, when the maternal excessive mental stimulation affects the fetus’s oxygen supply, the fetus will be in distress, the number of fetal movements will become more.
Therefore, pregnant women should maintain a relaxed mood during pregnancy to promote the normal growth of the fetus, and if depression occurs, detoxify in time to prevent prenatal depression. Adequate psychotherapy is needed if prenatal depression is diagnosed.
