Giving birth for the first time in your life... You may feel anxious or impatient about something you've never experienced before, or your mind may not be able to keep up with the changes in your physical condition, and stress can easily build up during pregnancy.
So, this time we will introduce you to ways to cope with stress during pregnancy and ways to relax.

It's easy to feel stressed during pregnancy

Pregnancy causes major changes in hormone balance, making you more susceptible to various physical and mental stresses. Here are five factors that can lead to stress.

Minor trouble

During pregnancy, when hormone balance changes, various minor problems, including morning sickness, are more likely to occur. While some people may not experience any symptoms, constipation, frequent urination, hair loss, back pain, abdominal pain, and other physical problems may occur, making you more susceptible to physical stress.

Changes in body shape

As your baby grows, your body will undergo changes such as weight gain, an enlarged belly, and enlarged and darkened areola. These changes can be stressful.

Frustration at not being able to act normally

During pregnancy, there are many restrictions on what you can eat, drink, take medicines, and your lifestyle, even if you were able to do things that you were able to do before pregnancy. Furthermore, as your belly grows, it becomes more difficult to move around, and you may feel stressed because you can't go to work as usual.

Pressure to give birth and raise children

During pregnancy, there are always worries such as "Will the baby be born safely?" and "Will I be able to raise the child properly?" Overthinking this can lead to pressure about childbirth and child-rearing, which can lead to stress.

Lack of understanding from partners

Men who are not involved in the pregnancy often find it difficult to understand the pain that pregnant women go through.
Many men find it difficult to accept that they are about to become fathers, and are prone to becoming frustrated and stressed by the unsympathetic behavior of their male partners.

Tips for overcoming stress

If you understand the causes of stress and follow some tips, you can reduce the stress you may feel during pregnancy. Find a way to relieve stress that works for you and get through it.

Massage and stretching

If you give up on keeping your appearance neat or enjoying fashion and beauty just because you're pregnant, you may end up accumulating stress.
In times like these, we recommend trying to refresh yourself with a massage or reflexology treatment that is suitable for pregnant women. It is also important to do exercises that are safe for the mother, such as maternity stretches, yoga, walking, and swimming.

Time with him

After giving birth, you'll be so busy recovering your strength and caring for your baby that it's hard to find time to talk and spend time with your partner. It's especially during pregnancy that you should take the time to have leisurely meals with your partner, go on short trips, and create some "time just for him and him." Cherishing time together will not only help you relieve stress during pregnancy, but it will also help you create fond memories before the baby arrives.

Enjoy preparing for birth

Pregnancy is a limited time. Instead of being pessimistic about the changes that occur during pregnancy, try to look at it positively as a special time that only comes once in a while. It's also a good idea to buy baby supplies, redecorate your room, or visit childcare facilities. Enjoying the process of preparing for your baby will help you feel more positive and relieve stress.

"listen to music

It's important not to get too nervous during pregnancy. When you're not feeling well or just feeling down, try to take some time to relax by listening to music. We also recommend relaxation music with the sound of water, which evokes the image of amniotic fluid, or the refreshing chirping of birds.

Recommended "Maternity Music"

The album "Maternity" is one of the recommended songs to listen to during pregnancy. It creates a relaxing and comfortable time for you and your partner and baby in the womb. It is also recommended to listen to it not only during pregnancy, but also in between the hectic times of raising a child after giving birth.
By setting aside time to listen to music and enjoy some time for yourself, you can find peace of mind.
