During the month of confinement, I feel irritable and see who is not pleasing to the eye. What's the matter?

It's like going up a mountain of knives and going down a sea of fire. After the pain of childbirth, the mothers finally breathed a little sigh of relief. However, some mothers feel particularly upset. Obviously there is nothing special, but they just can't feel happy. Then, why do you feel upset when you are confinement?

1. Irritability may be caused by endocrine fluctuation. In the process of mother's delivery, the amount of endocrine secretion will change greatly. In particular, within 24 hours after delivery, the hormone secretion in the body will undergo a drastic change. Before delivery, the secretion of placental steroids can reach the highest level, which can make mothers feel happy. After delivery, the placental steroid secretion decreases instantly, and the mother will feel depressed.

2. Some obstetrical factors may also cause irritability. There is a certain relationship between prenatal psychology and postpartum irritability. Complications during and after delivery, difficulties in production, delayed delivery, assisted delivery technology, long first stage of labor, surgery, etc. may all cause mother's nervousness and fear, enhance psychological stress, and easily be agitated after delivery.

3. The existence of social psychological factors may also affect the postpartum mood. Physical and mental maladjustment, insufficient sleep, too tired to take care of the baby, lack of social support, economic problems, the attitude of medical staff during childbirth, and the health status of the baby may all cause the mother to be more agitated after childbirth to a certain extent.
