Every woman, when she dreams of her pregnancy, imagines it as a “magical” period, without particular anxieties and stress. He thinks that everything will be perfect, without problems, and most of the time it is.

But pregnancy comes at some point and then some things start not being “magical”. Nausea, vomiting of the first trimester, frequent urination, easy fatigue and sleepiness overwhelm the pregnant woman and make her feel very weak, maybe even sick at some point. Then everyone around her starts treating her like she’s sick. Her partner, relatives, friends overprotect her and this usually scares her. Then through her social contacts, she comes to face the experiences of other women, who most often describe possible problems they experienced in their own pregnancies, regardless of their outcome. So the pregnant woman begins to fear that something similar will happen to her. Very easily addresses and searches for answers on the various websites, surfing the internet.

In this way, a pregnant woman’s “anxieties” multiply in her daily life. He looks for information, not always in reliable sources, trying to get as much knowledge as he can. Of course, this will unfortunately not be able to be done to an absolute extent and will ultimately increase her insecurities. In some cases unwittingly, she will even question her doctor. It goes without saying that when the stress is creative or even reaches the limits of maximum preventive control, it is not a problem. But when it reaches the point where it completely changes our way of life and everything we do is done under its rule, then things become difficult.

The pregnant woman no longer sees pregnancy as a gift as she is constantly afraid that something will happen to her, something will go “wrong”.

The doctor’s role throughout this course of pregnancy must be supportive and reassuring. The gynecologist, of course, cannot deviate from the correct information as well as from recommending the required examination plan. Of course, this creates new questions-anxiety, but with patience he explains and usually tries to define the pregnant woman and her environment within the correct framework of pregnancy monitoring protocols.

Fortunately, most of the time, pregnancy develops normally and the “anxieties” change subject depending on the weeks of pregnancy. As time progresses, they are usually reduced. The pregnant-gynecologist relationship grows stronger, she now trusts him and this usually calms her down. If this does not happen, the pregnant woman feels dizzy, scared and insecure. He is constantly looking for other solutions, other doctors and in the end he is left with a feeling of unsatisfiedness. In this phase, he risks making choices based only on emotional criteria.

Concluding this communication, through this article, if I could address all pregnant women, I would say the following:

Girls don’t waste your pregnancy days. No matter how many children you have, no pregnancy comes back. Welcome what is happening to you. Feel the happiness of the new life growing inside you and leave the boxes of your logic outside. Use this time for good-positive thoughts, good-beautiful moments. Don’t unwittingly transfer your ‘anxieties’, fears and insecurities to your children. These will be paid back to you later when these children grow up. Let your doctors worry about the course and progress of your pregnancy. Show them trust and this will bring them closer to you, understanding you better. Express your fears and anxieties to those with proven knowledge so they can properly inform and guide you. You owe it to yourself and your child to experience the pregnancy period as a unique and unrepeatable event.
