Why do pregnant women cry?

After a woman becomes pregnant, she becomes a pregnant woman, and many things can happen to her. Pregnant women have unstable emotions and are prone to crying frequently. It is probably because pregnant women do not receive enough attention and recognition from their families after becoming pregnant, so they are in a bad mood. After depression, changes will affect the entire body of the pregnant woman. Why do pregnant women like to cry?

1. Hormone changes in the body

Mood swings after pregnancy are closely related to changes in hormone levels in pregnant women. As the pregnancy progresses, the levels of estrogen, progesterone, thyroid hormone, etc. in the expectant mother's body gradually increase, causing symptoms similar to premenstrual syndrome. These changes will affect the changes in emotion-regulating neurotransmitters in the brain, causing pregnant women to become emotionally abnormal, such as crying, anxiety, depression, sensitivity, and emotional instability.

2. Unable to adapt to physiological changes after pregnancy

As the pregnancy progresses, major changes will occur in various parts of the expectant mother's body, such as a growing belly, a bigger butt, thicker legs, varicose veins, stretch marks, etc., as well as toothaches, itchy belly and other symptoms that are not recommended for medication. Faced with these changes and difficulties, pregnant women who cannot adapt are prone to depression and tears. .

3. Negative psychological reactions

When a woman finds out she is pregnant, she is often both happy and worried. For example, she worries about whether her body can cope with the normal development of the fetus, whether the fetus is healthy, whether it is a boy or a girl, etc. Expectant mothers who are older in childbearing years are more likely to feel nervous and fearful.

4. External factors

In addition, the husband's and parents-in-law's views on whether to have a boy or a girl, as well as life pressure, interpersonal relationships, etc., will also have a certain psychological impact on expectant mothers.

The impact of pregnant women crying on the fetus

Crying once or twice occasionally is not a big deal, but if pregnant women cry often, it will be very harmful to the health of the fetus.

1. Crying during pregnancy can cause fetal malformations: Clinical observations have found that the roof of the mouth and maxilla of the fetus in the womb begin to develop and form in the late second month of pregnancy. In this case, sudden accidents may cause the pregnant woman to cry or become overly upset, which may lead to deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate in the fetus.

2. Crying of pregnant women will reduce fetal movements: In the late pregnancy, if the pregnant woman cries frequently, has a bad mental state, such as fear, depression or mood swings, poor blood circulation in the mother, lack of oxygen and a series of other changes, the number of fetal movements will increase or decrease.

3. Crying by pregnant women will hinder the future growth of the fetus: If a pregnant woman is emotionally depressed or excited for a long time, not only will the development of the fetus be affected, but the baby after delivery will also be restless, cry, have poor sleep, have digestive disorders, and have poor adaptability.

4. Crying during pregnancy can easily lead to premature birth: If a pregnant woman suffers severe mental trauma, it can also lead to uterine bleeding, premature birth, placental abruption, etc.

5. Crying during pregnancy can easily cause miscarriage: If the pregnant woman is usually irritable, has great mood swings, is sentimental, sensitive and suspicious, is narrow-minded, and cries frequently, the baby born will be significantly lighter, and it may even be very easy to have a miscarriage during pregnancy. The reason is simple. Anger hurts the liver, joy hurts the heart, thinking hurts the spleen, sadness hurts the lungs, and fear hurts the kidneys.
