Maintaining Emotional Stability and Promoting Fetal Development: Tips for Pregnant Women

January 24, 2024

 

    1. Avoid stimulation

 

    Pregnant women should try to avoid watching thrilling or terrifying TV shows and participating in tense activities. Instead, they can enjoy beautiful music and read interesting, lively, and healthy literary works. They can also take walks in scenic places and maintain a normal daily routine to avoid a sedentary lifestyle.

 

    2. Maintain emotional stability

 

    Pregnant women should strive to have a happy and stable mood. They should control themselves when encountering situations and avoid extreme emotions such as extreme joy, sadness, or anger. Harmful information should be excluded from affecting their emotions. If a pregnant woman's suppressed emotions persist for several weeks, excessive fetal activity may occur throughout the fetal period, affecting the baby's development. Psychological studies in the United States have shown that "emotional excitement during pregnancy can influence the emotional characteristics of offspring." It seems that a woman's emotions during pregnancy directly affect the fetus's development.

 

    3. Abdominal massage

 

    Pregnant women can choose to gently stroke the baby from top to bottom of the abdomen with their hands before going to sleep at night, spending about five minutes each time. They can also softly talk to the baby, letting them hear your voice.

 

    4. Auditory training

 

    Choose some elegant and melodious music to play for pregnant women several times a day. The beautiful and peaceful melodies not only sound pleasant, but also evoke beautiful associations. This pleasant mood will stimulate the production of a fluid in the nervous system, transmitting the joyful music experience to the fetus through this fluid. Experimental evidence has shown that for music with a frequency of 250-500 Hz and an intensity of 70 decibels, the fetus will exhibit peaceful and undulating movements in the mother's womb. On the other hand, sharp, thin, and high-pitched music will cause the fetus to have unstable and tense reactions. Clinical observations have shown that by having pregnant women read aloud, the fetus receives human language sound wave information, which promotes the development of language skills in children after birth.
