    Awesome video! Vastly better than some hot chick talking about pirates. Vids like this are why I subscribed to psychetruth. I’m all for the hot chick starting her own channel if it gets her off this one. Needless to say I didn’t subscribe to the new channel.
    If I ever marry (unlikely) I’ll try to get her to be a stay at home wife during the pregnancy and at least the first year or two afterward. I’m lucky to be in a financial situation where that’s possible.

    oh finally a video that isn’t watched solely for the hot girl talking! Good info.

    great vid, I think that with most women out working often in stressful careers, maybe there’s an debate to be had about pregnant women taking earlier maternitiy leave or having certain entitlements to lessening their workload in their jobs without an adverse consequence to their careers.

    Nice vid. I have a dream in which a fully dressed woman does an interesting video like this one and gets as many views as the I’mFunYouCanEatMeGirls.

    Nice video, so are you basically saying that the woman needs to remove herself from stressful situations during pregnancy? So that she is not putting strain on herself and by extention the baybe?

    “her own lifestyle choice has helped to create” asshole!!! not all stress is created by choice. Sudden death of a parent or spouse and struggling with poverty is not a choice. Many other factors besides choice contribute to stress of a pregnant mom.

    I ’twas a hard to handle baby., I guess mom was under alot of stress.. then again I was born with kidney stones so I was in constant pain for eight months. >>

    I agree with this. Not everybody inflicts stress upon themselves, and there are appropriate times for mourning. Having a baby IS a stressful event for normal people, who have to figure out how to afford a child.
    Also, I feel that much of post-partum depression has to do with a complete change in lifestyle, not being able to leave the house, and constant bombardment by relatives. Imo, these social factors are equally important to the physiological factors.

    My suggestions… Find people you can talk about your problems to, find people the father can talk about his problems to, ideally including people who have been there, and keep in touch with your friends.

    I was very stressed during my last pregnancy, and my baby ended up having a lot of health problems while she was still inside me and after she was born.

    Thank you for explaining, but are there any tips you can give to help prevent this?

    Actually, we choose how to interpret and handle our experiences. Stress is always a choice. I know we are in the era of “nothing is my fault” so this is not a popular view. A great example is heavy traffic – some people stress out with it, and some people enjoy slowing down for a change – their choice!

  23. #23 by obsidianzebra on May 10, 2009 - 5:05 pm

    “stress is always a choice” … umm, do you understand what biological stress is? apparently not.

  24. #24 by yomamayomama7 on May 10, 2009 - 8:19 pm

    I have actually studied stress for decades. “Stress is always a choice” refers to things like having anxiety while in traffic, getting mad at someone’s behavior, nervous before a school exam, etc. That is a matter of choice, though most folks don’t want to take responsibility for their behavior. If someone forces your hand into a workbench vice grip, that stress is not a choice! Thank you for the reply.
