What is psychological pregnancy
Psychological pregnancy refers to a change in a woman’s perception of herself that comes about during pregnancy. It happens because women’s hormones change during pregnancy, making them feel different and behave differently from how they would normally behave. This is known as prenatal hormonal fluctuation. Because of the changing hormone levels during pregnancy, many women experience changes in their personalities, including anger, mood swings, and a change in their attitudes and personality. Some women even report changes in their personality before or after they start feeling morning sickness. When a pregnant woman experiences these changes, it is called psychological pregnancy.

What is psychological pregnancy
Psychological pregnancy is a term I coined to describe a variety of emotional symptoms that women may experience in early pregnancy. In particular, the symptoms may be associated with pregnancy but have been overlooked in the past.
Symptoms of psychological pregnancy
When pregnant women get depressed, they sometimes have trouble recognizing it as depression. It can appear as mild depression or perhaps depression related to the traumatic events that occurred prior to conception. As a result, these women may feel distressed about the possibility of getting depressed in pregnancy. Like some other pregnancy symptoms, some of these symptoms of psychological pregnancy are also often linked to the traumatic events of pregnancy that may have occurred in the past, such as abuse or trauma. You are increasingly fatigued and frequently bedridden. You feel perpetually exhausted. You feel irritable and aggressive. You get startled easily. You find yourself worrying about the safety of the baby and yourself.
Anxiety
One of the major feelings that most pregnant women experience is anxiety. You’ve read the pregnancy books and feel more knowledgeable than most of the advice given in them. You’ve developed a deep connection to your unborn child, it’s a miracle to think that your child could be inside of you right now. Your body is going through incredible changes. Some women also experience ‘infantile phobia’ during pregnancy, known as ‘fear of infant birth’. The mother is afraid of the actual birth. Anxiety can be debilitating at times and you will likely experience overwhelming feelings of anxiety. You will want to know whether or not what you’re feeling is normal and whether or not it’s something that you can learn to cope with.
Depression
Depression can be particularly common during pregnancy and it’s usually linked with sadness or hopelessness. Symptoms of depression include: Feelings of sadness and hopelessness. Discontent with your current situation. Low energy. Decreased appetite. Loss of pleasure in everyday activities. Feeling detached from others or things around you. Inability to complete a task or make decisions. However, all pregnancies are different and each one has its own set of issues. If you are struggling with depression and you have a partner, it’s very important that you work together and talk about how you are feeling. Find ways to show affection and spend time together. Try to find things that make you feel good, e.g. watching TV or playing on the computer.
Irritability
Irritability is one of the most common symptoms to affect many people during pregnancy. It can range from being a mild irritable mood to being downright aggressive. It tends to hit harder during those first few months, which is often why women experience it during that time period. It often shows up as irritability or anger, a lack of interest in activities, or crying spells. Some of the causes of irritability include hormone shifts, pregnancy hormones, even the stress of pregnancy itself. Women who are diabetic and/or suffering from hormone imbalances are also more likely to experience irritability. The good news is that we are in a day and age where medical technology is so advanced, and most medication now can be tailored for every individual based on their individual needs.
Constipation
This could be an obvious symptom, but many women who experience constipation during pregnancy are unable to identify it as such because they’ve never experienced it before. It is important to recognize that it is normal, and that many women can experience the same symptoms during pregnancy as they did pre-pregnancy. There are many reasons for constipation. It is often caused by constipation caused by eating too much greasy food or spicy foods. It can also be caused by anxiety, stress, tiredness or depression. It can be caused by a poor diet, or a change in the way you do things (such as your diet). While it might be a little uncomfortable during pregnancy, it should pass in a few days and it’s much easier to treat than pregnancy anemia.
Restless Leg Syndrome
Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is defined as the uncontrollable urge to move one’s legs. It is characterised by a feeling of itching and burning in the legs or thighs. It can range in intensity from a slight discomfort to a very noticeable discomfort and is sometimes accompanied by twitching of the limbs. The sufferer is often aware of the urge, but is unable to stop it. Diagnosed as an upper motor neuron syndrome, there is no known cause for RLS and there is no cure. Common physical manifestations of RLS include: Extremely itchy legs Painful leg cramps Rapid muscle movements in the legs, especially the calf and thighs Restless legs syndrome can be especially common in women with pregnancy-induced hypertension (or “pregnancy glow”) or women who have been pregnant before.
How to deal with symptoms of psychological pregnancy
- Anger Being angry is a very common symptom among pregnant women, especially in those suffering from depression. Many of these people are experiencing anger because their due date keeps getting pushed back and they’re having to endure being pregnant for months longer. To deal with this anger, it is important to learn to separate your emotions from the situation. If you can keep in mind that you’re in this situation because the pregnancy is healthy, then you can direct your anger at the situation rather than the creature who’s causing it. Also, if you keep in mind that you’ll have this baby in a few months, it will be easier to cope with the frustration of not knowing when you’ll meet your baby. 2.
Conclusion
Don’t worry, you’re not crazy and you’re not losing your mind. If you feel like you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, they are common. So if you find yourself in a stressed-out state, don’t worry. A good number of women experience these emotions during pregnancy, and you are not alone. Psychological pregnancy is the baby in your mind, and the relationship you have with it. These feelings are completely normal, but can take a toll on your well-being if you don’t understand them and don’t feel like you have a way to get rid of them.
