Zhengzhou Depression: How to Prevent Postpartum Depression?

(1). Increase alone time.

It is necessary to increase the time spent alone by mothers, because during the time alone, mothers can calm down and think about various problems in life and work, and find solutions, so as to eliminate the pressure brought by life and work. And in your alone time, you can reasonably arrange some entertainment items you like to relax the mother's mood, such as reading, watching movies, walking, yoga, flower arrangement, etc. During the time when the mother is alone, the mother fully relaxes her emotions and relieves her mental stress, thereby reducing the occurrence of postpartum depression.

(2). Maintain moderate exercise.

Exercise can relax people's body and mind, relieve mental stress, and temporarily empty the mind. As for mothers, because they have just experienced childbirth, their bodies cannot withstand the pressure of exercise. However, in order to prevent the formation of postpartum depression, mothers can also engage in some small-scale exercise, such as postpartum yoga and walking after meals. While exercising, mothers can breathe fresh air from the outside world and increase their range of activities, so as to ensure a comfortable mother's mood, which is an effective way to prevent postpartum depression.

(3). Ensure adequate rest time.

Because after giving birth, mothers have to undertake the work of breastfeeding and daily nursing of newborns. For mothers who have just given birth, their bodies are still in the recovery period and their bodies are still relatively weak. These heavy work will bring certain pressure to the mother itself. Therefore, in daily life, pregnant women must maintain enough rest time to avoid mental fatigue. Due to mental fatigue, the mental state of the puerpera will change, which will lead to the instability of the puerpera's psychological and emotional state, and it is easy to produce boredom. Therefore, mothers should ensure adequate sleep every day and develop the habit of taking naps every day.

(4). Ensure the intake of a healthy diet.

The mother has experienced childbirth, resulting in a great loss of the mother's body, and some nutrients in the body are also in a state of loss. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure maternal dietary intake and increase maternal daily nutritional intake. At the same time, you can add some foods to prevent postpartum depression in the mother's diet.

(5). Increase communication with others.

Because the communication between the mothers during the confinement period is almost zero, the mothers cannot express their emotions, which leads to postpartum depression. With the development of technology, mothers can increase communication with friends or colleagues through WeChat, QQ, Weibo, etc. , ease their emotions. At the same time, you can share your parenting experience with new baby mothers on the parenting website, enrich the life of mothers in confinement, keep pregnant women in a good psychological state, and fundamentally eliminate or reduce the occurrence of postpartum depression.
