No matter how desirable and long-awaited the onset of pregnancy, very few expectant mothers manage to avoid attacks of mild panic, especially when it comes to their first child. The reasons for this can be many - from worries about the reaction of the future dad to the thought that your life will never be the same again, and fear of childbirth.
Sometimes it is enough to realize that increased nervousness is the result of biochemical changes in the body and has nothing to do with love or dislike (including daddy's) for the future baby.
Communication with already established mothers from among the closest friends helps a lot. Their example will help dispel the myths that after the birth of a baby, a woman's life resembles either a monastery or a prison with a strict schedule and constant self-restraint.
For those who feel that their fears are related to career and financial solvency, it is advisable to search the Internet for stories of women who have found their vocation due to the need to earn extra money on maternity leave. You can discuss the situation with the child's father and relatives, enlisting their help in achieving career goals after the baby is born.
Special courses and literature for pregnant women will help to dispel the notion that childbirth is an unnecessarily painful process. Yes, no one says it will be easy, but the effort is really worth it. Some troubling points regarding the state of health should be discussed with the doctor in the antenatal clinic.
And, finally, if all the options for self-soothing auto-training do not help, you can go to a consultation with a psychologist and talk about it.
