Mood instability during late pregnancy

In the late stages of pregnancy, pregnant mothers begin to face some pressure of childbirth, so they may become emotionally unstable. In fact, during this period, family members should comfort pregnant women more, because emotional instability can easily cause harm to the body, and can also cause fear of the delivery process, increasing the difficulty of delivery. At the same time, pregnant mothers can also communicate more with other mothers to alleviate their fears.

Is it normal to have mood swings during late pregnancy?

Normal. Because of the physical changes and discomfort caused by pregnancy, emotions also fluctuate greatly. It is normal to get angry or cry easily, etc., but pregnant mothers must learn to control their emotions so as not to affect the future personality of the fetus.

What are the effects of emotional instability during pregnancy on the fetus?

1. The baby’s chance of suffering from mental illness in the future increases.

2. The baby may be low birth weight. Such babies are active, in a bad mood, prone to crying, have digestive disorders, and have a high incidence rate.

3. Excessive anxiety of expectant mothers in early pregnancy may even lead to poor development of the embryo, causing miscarriage, and may cause deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate in the fetus.

4. Emotional instability in the middle and late stages of pregnancy may cause the fetal heart rate to increase or decrease, and fetal movement to increase, leading to low birth weight, heart defects, and body dysfunction.

5. Severe emotional problems may even cause difficult labor, placental abruption, uterine bleeding, and even fetal death.

When a pregnant woman is emotionally unstable, she will tend to cry a lot. She may be laughing one second, but crying the next second because of a word from a family member. She will cry more and more easily, and the reasons for her crying will become more and more inexplicable. In addition to being a crybaby, their temper will also become worse and worse, and the reasons for their temper are all trivial matters. Sometimes they would be silent and would not speak no matter how their family members tried to persuade them.

You need to learn to regulate your emotional instability, otherwise it will affect the healthy development of the fetus. Learn to release your emotions. When you are in a bad mood, don’t keep the grievances in your heart. You can vent and talk to your family. Family members should be more understanding and, when necessary, try to make the pregnant woman cry.
