Psychology in pregnancy, as you may have already experienced, changes from one moment to another.

- Thoughts like “is everything going to be ok”, “am I going to make it as a mother”, “are we going to have a financial stability as a family”, can lead to future concerns and create justified stress and anxiety.
- Along with the parts you had to play up to date (wife, employee, sister) there is a new one, that of the mother, that is added to your life, which by itself is a vast change.
- Pregnancy may be easy but difficult at the same time. You may have to spend a long period of time in bed or have nausea. All these psychosomatic changes affect you as long as the embryo/baby you carry.
Yes, it is great, you are a woman expecting to have a baby and that is why it is important to be prepared to deal with your own self.

Then again, if you have already welcomed your baby, you may probably need some help adjusting to your new life. The time period that follows after you have had your infant has often intense emotional variations which are usually called postpartum depression. This period has two heavy burdens: the difficult everyday life of the woman herself and the inability to be near her child. Besides this is the period that the infant needs its mother more than ever. While these are the prevailing issues, it is important for the new mother to focus on her efforts to get well as fast as she can.
