Zhengzhou Chinese Medical Hall: After a woman becomes pregnant, changes in hormone secretion will continue until the placenta falls off. This hormone regulates glands to prepare pregnant women for the next labor, delivery, and breastfeeding. These hormonal changes can cause expectant mothers to experience significant emotional changes. In the early and late stages of pregnancy, pregnant women may be more irritable, emotional, and anxious. These emotional problems caused by the pregnancy itself are sometimes quite similar to the symptoms of prenatal depression, but prenatal depression is obviously more harmful to expectant mothers. For serious.
