pregnancy-related anxiety

Pregnancy-related anxiety involves feelings of worry, fear, or stress specifically linked to concerns about the health of the baby, the process of childbirth, or personal preparedness for motherhood. It is common to experience some anxiety during pregnancy, but when these feelings become intense or persistent, they can impact well-being. Factors like hormonal changes, previous mental health history, and external stresses can contribute. Managing this anxiety often involves support from healthcare providers, counseling, and relaxation techniques to help expectant mothers feel more confident and supported throughout their pregnancy.
