The Psychosocial State of Pregnant Women
Keywords:
Pregnant Women, Psychosocial, PregnancyAbstract
Pregnancy is a critical stage in the development of life. It is considered a life-changing period for women in terms of biology, physiology, and adaptation to social roles. The psycho-social perspectives, such as the change of body image and the adaptation of the maternal role, those metamorphoses affect the emotions and mentality of pregnant women faced with anxiety, fear, stress, or even negative feelings towards themselves and the fetus. The maternal role during pregnancy is a mission that pregnant women must succeed in. Pregnant women and close people have an important role in promoting and supporting pregnant women to be successful in the maternal role. Therefore, understanding the developmental tasks and psychosocial state of pregnant women is extremely important to encourage pregnant women and their families to provide appropriately for their role.
