Being pregnant is a time of hope and excitement, but can
also be filled with emotional instability. When people ask, “how are you
feeling?” they’re generally referring to the physical aspects of pregnancy
without giving much thought to what’s happening with a mom-to-be emotionally.
Mood changes that occur during pregnancy can lead to
anxiety and emotional instability that is sometimes difficult to overcome. Here
are some ways to help manage your moods:
- Take control of an existing issue. Jika anda orang yang cenderung mudah merasa cemas sebelumnya, ketika hamil mungkin anda menjadi lebih mudah cemas. Work with a psychiatrist who specializes in prenatal mental health to get treatment that is safe for you and your baby.
- If you’ve never had depression or a similar issue, be on the lookout for any symptoms and seek treatment if you’re experiencing emotions strong enough to interfere with your daily routine. Pregnancy can stir up difficult emotions, many of which can be helped by talking to a professional.
- Phone a friend. Spending long periods of time alone can foster negative thoughts and become worse if you feel like you don’t have someone to talk them through with. Jangan sungkan untuk menghubungi teman atau keluarga yang pernah mememilik pengalama yang sama untuk sekedar bercerita dan berbagi pengalaman. Those closest to you will be more than willing to help, now and after the baby is born.
- Build your foundation. It’s common to see a dip in your relationship satisfaction with a newborn taking up most of your time, so use this time to work through any issues and discuss how you’ll transition into parenthood with your partner.
- Calm your nerves by talking over important issues like financial planning and child care and share any negative feelings you may be having before you can hold it against one another.
- Cari waktu dan kesempatan untuk berduaan atau sekedar bersantai dengan pasangan anda sebelum si baby lahir.
- Revisit your priorities. Trying to do it all can be exhausting and depressing, Learning to say “no” to things that require lots of work with minimal gains can help change your entire outlook.
- Excessive stress can be hard on both you and your baby. Yoga, meditasi dan olahraga terbukti bisa mengurangi stress, tapi cari tahu apa yang nyaman untuk anda.
- Try getting a few extra hours of sleep, deep-breathing exercises or long walks to help you relax.
- By taking care of yourself, you’ll be able to make the rest of your pregnancy — and motherhood — more fun.
