Can stress and mental health issues impact the management of a high-risk pregnancy?

2y ago

Yes Elizabeth Emerson. Stress and significant mental health issues can significantly affect any pregnancy, be it high risk of not. In fact, mental health issues may worsen during the pregnancy, especially after childbirth and hence it is important to share and reveal such conditions if any mother experiences mental health issues. There are numerous interventions that can be undertaken safely during pregnancy, such as IAPT and CBT. In fact, most medications are safe during pregnancy and childbirth as well. Red flags that one should seek immediate professional assistance is when one has new symptoms during pregnancy, feeling hopeless or low in mood, having suicidal ideations, feeling incompetent as a mother or estranged from her baby. Mental health issues are significant but can safely be managed in pregnancy if you see the right expert. Do not suffer in silence.
