Research has indicated that emotionally disturbed women have a tendency towards premature delivery and giving birth to low birthweight babies who have a greater vulnerability to disturbed emotions. This is might be attributable to generic transmission of emotionality or to the fact that the emotionality in pregnant woman induces metabolic changes which affect the foetus. It is also possible that if a pregnant women has little or no emotional support, especially at a time when she is feeling very low, tired or lonely, her anxiety level can rise with minimal provocation.
A pregnant woman requires a great deal of emotional support when she is feeling low, tired or lonely, because her anxiety level can rise with minimal provocation. She should avoid stressful depressing situations.
Some researchers have proved that if the mother-to-be talks to her baby in the womb and sings to it, the baby can easily identify its mother’s voice after birth and stop crying. The overall effort should be to avoid any tension. High maternal anxiety is associated with nausea during pregnancy, abortion, prematurity, prolonged labor and delivery complications. It is reported that a woman who enjoy support, companionship and reassurances – such as holding hands, having their back rubbed or being talked to during labor – have short labor and their infants are less distressed.
