Will insomnia affect health after giving birth?

It is normal for pregnant women to experience certain psychological fluctuations during pregnancy, but if they are overly depressed, it may cause insomnia. After giving birth, they may still worry that insomnia will affect the health of their children. For a mother who has just given birth, this may be postpartum depression. As for yourself or your lover, you must pay attention to it. Your family should pay more attention to it. As a mother herself, you must also learn some adjustment methods.

How to relieve postpartum anxiety?

1. Relaxation and recharging method:

Appropriately adjust and change the content of your life. Don't pay attention to your children all the time and neglect yourself. Leave your children to be taken care of by other people temporarily and give yourself a short vacation, even for two hours or half a day, to relax yourself and recharge your spirit. Avoid psychological and emotional overdraft.

2. Behavior adjustment method:

Given that women are not suitable for strenuous exercise after giving birth, some appropriate relaxation activities are very necessary, such as deep breathing, walking, meditation, meditating on calm images, listening to soothing and beautiful music, etc.

3. Talk and vent:

Find a good friend or relative to talk to, tell them what’s really on your mind, have a good cry, and vent your depressed emotions.

4. Role Alternation Method:

Don't forget that although you are a mother, you are still your husband's lovely wife and your parents' beloved daughter. No one can be a full-time mother 24 hours a day, so you should change your role and enjoy the rights of a lovely wife and beloved daughter.

5. Self-encouragement method:

Appreciate yourself, look more at your own strengths, look more at the benefits of things, and think more about the possible successful side of things.

6. Self-actualization method:

Having children is only one way for women to realize themselves, but it is by no means the only way, so don't forget that there are other potentials and needs for self-realization. Maybe you can take advantage of the maternity leave to focus on the career you are good at, and when the maternity leave is over, you will have a new image.
