The psychological state of a woman during pregnancy

Bolzan Veronika Andreevna

It is noted that pregnancy is a special state in a woman's life, when there is a change in value preferences, the formation of new strategies in response to a change in the physiological, psychological, social status. There is a decrease in prenatal attachment due to many factors, ranging from socio-economic transformation to psychological ones. It is indicated that the psychological state of a pregnant woman is determined by a combination of various factors, including physiological, social, economic, relationships within the family and a number of others. The focus is on stressful processes during pregnancy and their impact on preterm labor and low birth weight. It is concluded that seeking psychological help will help to increase the level of psychological comfort, to exclude the development of a number of determinants that can ultimately lead to the development of postpartum depression. Psychological counseling during pregnancy differs at different stages of pregnancy. The most significant is psychological assistance in the third trimester, in preparation for childbirth.
