Stress during pregnancy may pose a risk of prolonged bad for the developing fetus. So, as much as possible manage stress during pregnancy.
According to a study in the UK, prolonged stress during pregnancy increases the risk of babies born with a condition ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).
ADHD is a mental disorder mostly found in children with characteristics among others, can not sit still, difficulty concentrating, many acts to attract attention, learning difficulties, impulsive, careless, difficult to be directed, aggressive, and tend to often make a mess.
Prolonged stress during pregnancy increases stress hormones in the womb. This condition will affect the delicate fetal brain development. Not only that, stress hormones may also affect other aspects of child development, including its behavior in the future.
In his study, Alina Rodriguez from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, studied more than 1,700 mothers and children. As a result, mothers who felt depressed during pregnancy, or experience profound sadness, two times more likely to have children with behavior problems at age five years.
The study analyzed the children's behavior problems early in life until school age, based on a number of factors. In addition to ADHD, children who are exposed to stress in the womb are also more likely to suffer from other emotional problems, such as irritable and difficult to mix with other children.
Rodriguez asked for pregnant women is not unduly worried by the results of the study. "If stress during pregnancy, try to do activities that can alter mood or try to relax. Get support from others, and do the things that make you feel good," Rodriguez said as reported by Dailymail.
Andrea Bilbow of the National Attention Deficit Disorder Information and Support Service, added that pregnant women should get access to more support, because many of them are vulnerable to the stress of having to work in conditions of pregnancy.
