For Moms who have gone through pregnancy, have you ever experienced stress or depression? Apparently, it also happens to 15 percent of other women in the world.

As stated by Obgyn Consultant MAKUKU Indonesia, dr. Muhammad Yusuf SpOg, stress in pregnancy cannot be taken lightly because it can affect the health of the baby. The doctor who is usually called Dr. Yusuf said it was important for pregnant women to identify early symptoms of depression so that the condition of the fetus is always healthy.

"Emotions are unstable, mood swings. There may be stress factors or depression or anxiety. And, this must be helped. If these are early symptoms, if he injures himself or disturbs his surroundings, we must seek help," said dr. Yusuf in the MAKUKU x V Radio talk show entitled Stress during Pregnancy, What are the Impacts on the Fetus? Thursday, September 22, 2022.

Regarding the impact on pregnancy, continued dr. Yusuf, depression can trigger premature labor (low birth weight babies below 2.5 kilograms). Why is that? This happens because the mother is negligent in maintaining her nutrition. The presence of this stress hormone (cortisol) causes blood vessels to constrict and trigger contractions, resulting in premature.

"Long term, the mother doesn't want to take vitamins, doesn't want to do anything so that the nutrition of the fetus is not optimal," added dr. Joseph.   

Dr. Yusuf added that the form of help that can be done when pregnant women experience stress can be done in various ways. First, pregnant women can come to a psychologist or psychiatrist to explore their psychology, reduce the side effects of depression. Then, pregnant women must also get a support system from the closest people, such as husbands and parents. The goal is to identify the cause of the stress so that it is hoped that a solution can be found.

"What makes pregnant women stressed is not only the pregnancy factor, hormonal changes do trigger it, but there are major factors that appear in their lives that will add to the stress. For example, fuel prices go up, the economy goes down plus pregnancy conditions," said dr. Joseph.

"Secondly, having four children who are still small and being tested for pregnancy. It adds to the stress. Maybe someone in the family members who died can also add to the situation, making it even more stressful," he added.
