Why you need to relax when you are pregnant
We often hear our old folks telling pregnant women to take it easy, look at cute babies photos and say only good words when they are pregnant. Well, we cannot exactly pooh-pooh all these old wives tales. But of course, we should not believe them blindly either.
Scientists have found out that when a pregnant woman is unduly stressed out during pregnancy, some of those stress hormones will be passed on to the foetus.
Children whose mothers were overly stressed during pregnancy may themselves be more vulnerable to anxiety as a result, research suggests.
High levels of stress hormone may cross the placenta and affect the baby in the womb in a way that carries long-term implications.
So, when a woman is pregnant, the best is to take things easy. One of them is to find out facts about pregnancies and not believing in myths. To do this, a woman ought to read and learn more about pregnancy and what takes place in their bodies.
Of course, the most assuring thing is to have chats and compare notes with other pregnant mothers. Pregnancy, especially first pregnancy, can be the most blissful moments in a woman’s life. Enjoy it!
