My wife has postpartum depression. How can I comfort her?

To see this problem, we must first trace back to the source. Why does the wife get postpartum depression?

The causes of postpartum depression are not clear for the time being, but there are many factors that will affect the parturient and lead to maternal depression, such as genetic factors, endocrine disorders, excessive prenatal pressure, failure to adjust the mentality in time, postpartum psychological pressure, doubts about the birth of the newborn, family performance, improper nursing, and the pressure of the surrounding living environment. , it will affect the mood and emotional adjustment of the parturient.

There are many manifestations of postpartum depression, mainly manifested as depression, loss of interest in everything, guilt and self-blame for children, listlessness, irritability, decreased sleep quality, dizziness and headache, and so on. Many pregnant women will have some emotional problems after giving birth, but their families, especially their closest husbands, did not find them in time or pay attention to them, which caused more problems and had a greater impact on pregnant women.

In fact, it is very easy to comfort the parturient. As a husband and the father of children, he should bear his own responsibilities. In the process of taking care of children, husbands should take the initiative to undertake more. Because the feelings and pressures of pregnant women during pregnancy and delivery are beyond the husband's full understanding, the body and energy of pregnant women after delivery are greatly damaged, and they need more rest to recover slowly. At the same time, in the process of taking care of children, there will always be some big and small problems. Families should control their emotions and create a more relaxed and harmonious environment for pregnant women. The husband should also enlighten the parturient in time. This is their first time as parents. No one can take care of their children better than anyone else. This is a learning process. Don't ask too much of yourself and put too much pressure on yourself. Moreover, the husband should be careful not to focus all his attention on the children, thus ignoring his wife's feelings. Children can be taken care of by grandparents, and what mothers need at this time is a sense of security.

The husband's neglect will make his wife suffer a lot, feel unimportant, only care about a series of children's ideas, and produce psychological problems. As a husband, you can spend more time chatting with your wife, listening to relaxing music and doing some appropriate activities to keep the parturient relaxed and stable.
