Anxiety is not recommended during pregnancy, at least this is shown by a study prepared by experts from the University of Greenville (USA). One of the conclusions that emerge from the study shows that pregnancy anxiety significantly increases the possible risks of premature delivery.
In the study, data were taken from 1,820 future moms who were provided with several questionnaires that they had to fill out, the questions were related to the fears they presented regarding pregnancy, its development, childbirth or the health of the baby among others issues. With a scale of 0 to 6, the researchers labeled each questionnaire with the corresponding level of anxiety. The greater the anxiety, the greater the risks of preterm birth, health problems, etc., the results show that it is necessary to reduce the fears of the future mother and the anxiety she suffers with respect to the unknowns that arise, this would be a way to reduce the number of premature births.
