Mental health issues during pregnancy

For some women the adjustment to being pregnant may be more difficult and they may worry because they feel different to how they expected. If you are concerned or notice changes in your feelings that persist, or affect your functioning, it is important to talk with your obstetrician, midwife, General Practitioner or mental health practitioner. Mental health problems are common in pregnancy. It is a time when women are more vulnerable to depression or anxiety. Women with a previous personal or family history of depression or mental illness are at greater risk of depression in the antenatal or postnatal period. For women with a history of depression or other mental illness, it is advisable that they have an assessment for depression early in their antenatal period. Other factors that may be risk factors are an unplanned pregnancy, difficult or complicated pregnancy, being single or having inadequate partner support, domestic violence, and drug and or alcohol misuse. About 13 percent of women will experience depression during pregnancy, called antenatal depression, and if untreated this can have negative outcomes for both mother and baby and continue into the postnatal period. The common symptoms of depression are feeling depressed or anxious most of the time, poor appetite, difficulty sleeping, and lack of concentration, motivation and enjoyment. In severe depression people have feelings of hopelessness, worthlessness and suicidal ideas. Depression is very treatable if detected.

Swangerskap is vir sommige vroue n groter aanpassing as vir ander. Hulle voel anders as wat hulle verwag het. As veranderinge in jou gemoedstoestand jou bekommer of jou dag tot dag se funksioneering beinvloed, is dit belangrik om met jou verloskundige, vroedvrou, algemene praktisyn of geestelike gesondheid praktisyn te praat.

Ander risiko faktore is 'n onbeplande swangerskap, n moeilike of gekompliseerde swangerskap, enkel-ouers met onvoldoende ondersteuning, huishoudelike geweld, en dwelm en alkohol misbruik. Ongeveer 13 persent van vroue ervaar depressie gedurende swangerskap. Dit word voorgeboortelike depressie genoem.
