Maternal Psychology During Pregnancy and Its Effect on the Baby

Birth is not only the birth of a new baby, but also the manifestation of maternal and paternal feelings in men and women. This process is a very important period for both mother, father and baby. It is a period when every problem experienced during pregnancy and birth greatly affects the baby's personality, psychological background, in short, his life in the future. It is a known fact that the baby feels everything while in the womb. Many studies have shown visible differences in the birth of mothers who had a difficult marriage during pregnancy compared to mothers whose marriage was peaceful and happy. Just as the mother's use of drugs, cigarettes and alcohol during pregnancy has negative effects on the baby, the feelings and thoughts of the mother's psychology can have similar effects on the child. As long as the baby is in the womb, the feelings he felt in the womb may make him more inclined to see the world that way after he is born. For example, using words of love towards the baby while in the womb, talking and staying away from stress as much as possible, creates the feeling that the baby is in a warm environment, and when he is born, he sees the world as such a place and will be more secure, have a strong psychological infrastructure, have a developed sense of self, be loving, and show his love. He/she becomes an individual who is competent and has strong social communication skills. On the contrary, a baby who experiences violence and abuse during pregnancy, whose stress intensity is high, and who is not communicated with the baby may become an individual who is always anxious, insecure, unloved, has difficulties in communication, and tends to be more aggressive after birth.

It is very normal for the mother to experience psychological ups and downs and sudden emotional changes due to hormonal and physiological changes during pregnancy. The feeling of being a mother begins to dominate, there are changes in the body, fear, anxiety and stress due to problems that may occur during birth are situations that the mother will often encounter during pregnancy. With the tension caused by these reasons, changes in attitudes and behaviors towards your spouse can be observed. But this is not something women specifically do. These changes make women experience many different emotions. It leads to e-behaviour. In order for a woman to get through this process easily, she needs to pay attention to her eating habits, stay away from bad habits such as drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, exercise and think as positively as possible.

It cannot be ignored that the father also has a great impact on the pregnancy process. During this period, the greatest support for a woman comes from her husband. The father, who is excited about meeting the feeling of fatherhood, should do his best to ensure that the pregnancy goes through the pregnancy in the most undamaged way, and should not forget that the woman's psychological, physiological and emotional changes are at a high level, and should be sensitive towards his wife. He/she should be aware that this situation is a periodic change by exhibiting a more accepting attitude. It should not be forgotten that the stronger and more trouble-free the relationship between spouses, the easier the birth will be. In order to go through this process in the most harmless way, parents need to see a psychologist and get support from a psychologist.
