Recently, more and more often in everyday communication, people began to use the word "stress". This is not surprising. Indeed, in the modern world, when technical progress is rapidly running forward, and information technology is developing with "cosmic speed", it is natural for a person to not be able to keep up with this stream, regardless of the level of education or socialization.
What can we say about a pregnant woman, whose main task for several months is to preserve and bear. And even the hormonal background thought out by nature is sometimes not enough for a harmonious psychological course of pregnancy. That is why, dear readers, take note of a few simple ways to overcome stress during pregnancy in the most common life situations.
1. Late. Even if before pregnancy you were an ace of time management, failures can happen in the position. Morning morning sickness, weakness sometimes make adjustments to the work schedule.
What to do? Do not engage in self-discipline, but simply call and apologize, inform that you will be later. Great time, by the way, to get rid of the "A student complex." If you have become absent-minded since the beginning of pregnancy and are late more often, enter important dates in the diary and rely on "reminders" and an alarm clock on your phone.
2. Bad news.In such frightening moments, the hormone adrenaline is produced in large quantities in the blood, and it is not the best ally of pregnancy. Pregnant women sometimes find it difficult to control their emotions, so discomfort at this special time for you it is necessary to "divide by 17" in order to maintain psychological balance.
What to do? When you are told bad news, it is best not to jump to conclusions, but to seek help from a loved one. It is important for you now to speak out and free yourself from the negative. Even if there is no one next to you, call your loved one, voice the information to him as calmly as possible, and then overcome the current situation together.
3. disease/diagnosis.Any illness during pregnancy proceeds especially not only because of physiological moments, but also because of the constant alertness about the health of the unborn child. It is not surprising that any diagnosis is perceived as more threatening and serious than it really is.
What to do? Do not be alone with the problem, discuss with your doctor how the treatment will proceed step by step. Usually, in the course of discussing such details, it becomes clear to the expectant mother that everything is not as scary as she imagined it to be.
4. Fright. We cannot protect ourselves from any surprises for all 9 months, and the susceptibility is now simply "rolling over".
What to do? If something scares you, try to find a quiet place (in a park, in a small cafe), sit down, breathe deeply, take a few sips of water, read something positive on social networks. Switch - and, only after making sure that you do not experience uncomfortable sensations, continue on your way.
5. Deception.It happens thatcolleagues or relativesstart protect a pregnant woman from "unnecessary" information or present information to her in a distorted form: so as not to strain unnecessarily and not to injure.
What to do? If you feel like a hostage to untruth, try to be philosophical about it. What is this incident compared to the new life that is growing and developing under your heart every second? That's the same. If you are concerned about overprotection and "smoothing the corners", talk to others, let them know that you want to continue to receive reliable information in order to make the right decisions..
6. Unpleasant situation.Nobody wants to get into unpleasant situations or become a witness to them, especially the expectant mother.
What to do? At such moments, it is important, first of all, to think about the safety of your child and to leave the zone of psychological discomfort as quickly as possible. Do not hesitate to ask to interrupt an unpleasant conversation or a story about "horror stories" in the hospital, ask for help from people who are nearby - you are now protecting not only your life.
Of course, these are not all stressful situations that a future mother can get into, but in all situations a wise woman will be able to translate the negative into a positive direction and get away from unpleasant experiences so as not to harm her baby. He is your main joy and the best "rescuer" from despondency.
