Does positive affirmations really help during pregnancy?

Positivity increases the level of endorphin: Endorphin is an essential element in the body as it helps in enhancing pleasure and relieving pain. Positive feelings and thoughts during pregnancy can help you keep calm and enhances the production of endorphins in the body. A higher level of endorphins helps in relieving pain that you may feel when you go into labor. Hence, staying positive during pregnancy can help you in getting relief from labor pain.

How can pregnancy affect my mental health?

Pregnancy is often a very happy and exciting time. But not every woman feels this way. You may have mixed, or even negative, feelings about being pregnant. You may find it more difficult than others to cope with the changes and uncertainties which pregnancy brings. Many things can affect how you feel in pregnancy. These include physical symptoms (e.g. morning sickness), the support you have (or don’t have), and stressful events in your life.

Women often worry about how they will cope with pregnancy or having a baby. It’s normal to feel stressed or anxious at times. When you are pregnant, it is common to worry about:

The changes in your role (becoming a mother, stopping work).
The changes in your relationships.
Whether you will be a good parent.
Fear that there will be problems with the pregnancy or the baby.
Physical health problems and pregnancy complications.
Fear of childbirth.
Lack of support and being alone.
As many as 1 in 5 women have mental health problems in pregnancy or after birth.1-3 It can happen to anyone. Depression and anxiety are the most common mental health problems in pregnancy. These affect about 10 to 15 out of every 100 pregnant women. 4-5 Just like at other times in life, you can have many different types of mental illness and the severity can vary. You may already have had a mental illness when you became pregnant.

Mental health problems you have had in the past can be worrying because they can increase the risk of becoming unwell, particularly after birth. However, with the right help this can often be prevented. You can also develop mental health problems for the first time in pregnancy or after birth. How your mental health is affected during pregnancy depends on many things. These include:

The type of mental illness you have had already.
Stopping medication for a mental health problem - you have a high risk of relapse if you do this when you become pregnant. This is more likely if you have had a severe illness 6-7, several episodes of illness or a recent episode.8
Recent stressful events in your life (such as a death in the family or a relationship ending).
How you feel about your pregnancy - you may or may not be happy about being pregnant.
Upsetting memories about difficulties in your own childhood.
Symptoms of mental illness in pregnancy are similar to symptoms you have at other times, but some may focus on the pregnancy. For instance, you may have anxious or negative thoughts about your pregnancy or your baby. You may find changes in your weight and shape difficult, particularly if you have had an eating disorder.

Sometimes symptoms caused by your pregnancy can be confused with symptoms of mental illness. For example, broken sleep and lack of energy are common in both pregnancy and depression.

Not always Pregnancy brings happiness. There are some sad ones too.
