Future mother, her fears and feelings

During pregnancy, the psychology of a woman changes significantly. All the thoughts of the expectant child are occupied solely by her future baby and her own changed state. Most women at this time feel happiness and tranquility, as their role in life is fulfilled. The surrounding world is perceived by the future mother only insofar as it must work, study, etc., and is simply obliged to contact with others.

But not all of the pregnancy is accompanied by a sense of happiness. There are cases when the future mother feels unhappy, the child seems to her a heavy burden, she perceives all changes in her condition, including a growing abdomen, with disgust. Typically, such depression occurs when the pregnancy is not desired or has occurred as a result of rape. It can also occur in very young mothers, under the age of 18, because the girl's mental development is not yet complete. Such women need to understand that a child is happiness. He will be its support and pride throughout his life.
