You Shouldn’t be Scared of Pregnancy, and Here is Why

Women experience a major life event when they become pregnant. Even though the state of pregnancy is normal and often yearned by women, it is not uncommon to feel anxious.

It’s understandable to be afraid of something full of unknowns, historically dangerous, painful, and uncomfortable. But the more you avoid facing your fears, the more you reinforce them.

If you don’t address the fear before becoming pregnant, it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. It can also prevent you from seeking necessary gynecology treatments. If you have menstrual irregularities, it would be best to get those menstrual irregularities treated before getting pregnant and before you start your gynecology treatments. If pregnancy is not happening naturally, getting IVF in Dubai is a great option. IVF doctors use the latest technology to help you get the best results. This is the reason why IVF in Dubai is more successful than in many other countries.

Get help from friends and family on how to manage your negative thoughts. Start working with a therapist who helps you focus on Mindfulness. The more knowledgeable you are about pregnancy, the less intimidating it becomes.

 Things About Pregnancy That Worry Women the Most

All you desire for your nine-month pregnancy is to go smoothly. Luckily, that’s what usually happens. Let’s find out the reality of things that freak you out.

1.     I will miscarry

In most cases, pregnancies lead to healthy babies. A miscarriage is due to a chromosomal abnormality. Miscarrying is unavoidable, but you can lower your risk by not drinking alcohol, smoking, and reducing your caffeine intake.

2.    I will have morning sickness! My baby won’t get enough food.

Babies absorb all the nutrition from the foods you give them. Morning sickness will not affect the fetus in any way or cause nutritional imbalance. Make sure you take prenatal vitamins and eat small, frequent meals.

3.    The baby weight will never come off

Exercise and watching your intake will help you get back in shape.

4.     I will not reach the hospital in time

In truth, you will have plenty of time between your first contraction and hearing your baby’s first cry. Your pregnancy calculator should give you a good idea of your expected due date. Hence, keep a regular check of your days and weeks with your pregnancy calculator.

5.     Labour will be too tough or painful

Nowadays, you can do a lot to lessen the pain. Attend childbirth classes and read up on pain management methods.
