If you were to ask an expectant mom what her favorite thing to do during that very day when she is pregnant with her baby is? It’s likely that her most likely answer would be napping. This is especially true in the first and last trimesters of pregnancy. And while this fatigue, which is hard for pregnant mothers to resist, is very natural, it is also a good sign that your organism is hard at work and that you have a construction team inside you, working day and night to build your child’s life support system in the womb. But if in the winter the mother is self-centered, neurotic, emotionally unstable, socially awkward, introverted, and if winter is supposed to be the season of high depression, then the probability of maternal depression is higher. What is winter depression? Seasonal anxiety disorder is an emotional disorder or mood disorder caused by the change of weather, which mostly occurs in autumn and winter, and is more prominent in the mid-winter season. It is most common in people who work indoors all year round, especially those who are physically weak or rarely participate in physical exercise, and those who are sensitive to the cold. Most people with SAD are in good health for most of the year, but experience symptoms of depression during the season when the days get shorter and the nights get longer. SAD is significantly present north of 30 degrees north latitude or south of 30 degrees south latitude. Psychologists at Columbia University have also surveyed that about 3%; of office workers suffer from depression, irritability, anxiety, and drowsiness in the winter, and this phenomenon is more prominent in large cities. Women are more likely to suffer from the winter blues than men. Among patients aged between 20 and 40, the ratio of men to women suffering from winter blues is about 1:4. Winter depression is not a medical condition, it is just a mood disorder due to weather changes, so pregnant mothers (especially working mothers) should not be too frightened even if they have similar symptoms. The best way to combat winter depression in pregnant mothers is to get some sunshine in the winter when there is little sunlight. What should pregnant mothers do if they are not in good spirits in winter? 1, winter sunshine is rare to seize the opportunity to sunbathe, winter weather is cold, sunshine is rare, so pregnant mothers encounter sunny days should seize the opportunity to go out of the door to sunbathe. 2, despite the cold, but also to go out more sports, walking, breathing fresh air, although the winter weather is cold, but not always at home not to go out. As the saying goes, “the nest also nest out of the disease,” pregnant mothers want to be less tired, we must go out more exercise, breathing fresh air. The actual fact that the body’s metabolism is accelerated through exercise and the secretion of adrenaline is increased will make the pregnant mother emotionally cheerful and mentally happy. 3, do other things to distract attention such as reading books and newspapers, listening to music, or find friends to chat and talk. The winter climate is cold, people have less outdoor activities, hobbies are limited, easy to “nothing to do” emotional problems. This is why pregnant moms may want to distract themselves by doing other things, such as reading books and newspapers, listening to music, or talking to friends. You can also learn to make bonsai, raise fish, practice calligraphy and painting at home to enrich your winter life. If a pregnant mom is really bored and can’t get rid of it, she can also seek counseling from a psychologist.
