FinanceStress and Anxiety Can Up Risk of Depression in Pregnancy
More: Anxiety, depression, pregnancy, Risk, Stress
Stress, a history of depression, lack of social support and unintended pregnancy are some of the major factors that contribute to increased risk of depression in pregnant women, according to a new study.
Some other important factors to consider are maternal anxiety, domestic violence and having public insurance coverage, according to University of Michigan researchers, who reviewed 159 studies conducted between 1980 and 2008.
They needed to check out all of those studies to figure that out? A pregnant woman has a lot to be depressed about. Being a man myself, I find it pretty obvious that women have it tough in so many ways. They are far stronger than men having to endure regularly scheduled PMS and pregnancies, just to name two things.
Depression in pregnancy? Who wouldn’t be depressed? You are twice your size, craving odd things and your hormones are all out of whack.
