Sodium, Your Abused Friend!<\/a><\/h3>
Avoiding excessive salt intake is one of the doctor's suggestions for patients with high blood pressure. In essence, sodium, one of the constituents in table salt, is indicated because an excess of sodium in an individual might result in high blood pressure or hypertension. The issue is whether sodium is indeed solely present in table salt. According to research, processed foods—even though they don't taste salty instead of home-cooked table salt consumption are the main cause of an increase in sodium intake. It is hoped that the information in this article will help readers make informed food decisions that will not result in a diet that contains more sodium than is necessary. \n\n Sodium is a nutrient that is fundamentally necessary for a number of bodily processes. However, consuming too much sodium may have an unintended consequence. Because of this, sodium consumption is frequently restricted, especially in those who have hypertension. However, excessive salt consumption in daily diet has also been connected by specialists to a number of other chronic conditions in addition to hypertension in people. \n\n Excess sodium has been linked to heart and blood vessel disease, but it is also linked to obesity, Meniere's disease, worsening kidney disease, causing asthma attacks, osteoporosis, the development of kidney stones, and many other diseases, according to Strand et al in their scientific article published in 2010. \n\n The maximum amount of sodium that the body can tolerate in a healthy state is 2300 mg per day, which can be instantly achieved by consuming up to 1 teaspoon of table salt per day, as this amounts to 6 grams of table salt, which already contains 2300 mg of sodium. The daily sodium requirement for healthy people is only about 1500 mg. Therefore, ingesting no more than 2/3 teaspoon of table salt each day will actually allow one to meet the requirement of 1500. Nevertheless, since we often eat more than this amount each day, the issue of too much sodium poses a severe risk to our health. \n\n In addition, processed or artificial meals frequently have significant quantities of sodium per serving, according to study on food. Examples of food items with their salt content per 100 grams are shown in the following table. It is clear that eating multiple portions of artificial food items per day or mixing various unnatural food ingredients will raise our chance of consuming too much sodium. \n\n \n\n Table 1. Amount of sodium in several food ingredients per 100 grams \n\n\n \n \n \n Bahan/Jenis Makanan \n \n \n Natrium (mg) \n \n \n \n \n Popcorn \n \n \n 300 \n \n \n \n \n Slice bread \n \n \n 530 \n \n \n \n \n Sauce \n \n \n 600 \n \n \n \n \n Butter \n \n \n 780 \n \n \n \n \n Fried Chicken \n \n \n 800 \n \n \n \n \n Hamburger \n \n \n 800 \n \n \n \n \n Fried Potato \n \n \n 900 \n \n \n \n \n Meat Soup \n \n \n 1060 \n \n \n \n \n Sosis \n \n \n 1100 \n \n \n \n \n Corned Beef \n \n \n 1750 \n \n \n \n \n Salted Egg \n \n \n 2200 \n \n \n \n \n Salty Soy Sauce \n \n \n 4000 \n \n \n \n \n Salted Fish \n \n \n 6000 \n \n \n \n\n\n Natural foods actually have a lot less sodium per 100 grams of food than processed and packaged foods. And it appears that this was specifically intended by our Creator, as natural food really includes rather substantial levels of potassium while containing very little sodium. According to research, populations that consume significantly more potassium than sodium have relatively low rates of hypertension. According to nutritional adequacy statistics from 2013, Indonesians need 4700 mg of potassium and 1500 mg of sodium each day, respectively. The natural ability of human bodies to expel large amounts of potassium through the kidneys while retaining sodium has been discovered by a number of physiologists. This is consistent with the type of natural diet that is high in potassium and low in salt. As a result, sodium levels in the body rise substantially, and disorders linked to too much salt in the body start to appear. This natural ability is incompatible with the current diet, which is high in sodium and low in potassium. The comparison of salt and potassium content in natural and processed food items is shown in the following table. \n\n \n\n Table 2. Comparison of the amount of sodium and potassium in natural and processed food ingredients per 100 grams. \n\n\n \n \n \n Kategori \n \n \n Bahan/jenis makanan \n \n \n Natrium (mg) \n \n \n Kalium (mg) \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Apple \n \n \n 87 \n \n \n 450 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n dates \n \n \n 10 \n \n \n 680 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Pear \n \n \n 6 \n \n \n 533 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Raisins \n \n \n 11 \n \n \n 728 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Almond \n \n \n 1 \n \n \n 728 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Cashew Nut \n \n \n 12 \n \n \n 660 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n peanuts \n \n \n 18 \n \n \n 705 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Banana \n \n \n 1 \n \n \n 403 \n \n \n \n \n Alamiah \n \n \n Cassava \n \n \n 29 \n \n \n 558 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Fried Chicken \n \n \n 508 \n \n \n 247 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Donuts \n \n \n 204 \n \n \n 64 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Cake \n \n \n 93 \n \n \n 38 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Cracker/biscuits \n \n \n 35 \n \n \n 4 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Tart, rendah lemak \n \n \n 71 \n \n \n 19 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Chocolate Bread \n \n \n 579 \n \n \n 126 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Strawberry Bread \n \n \n 518 \n \n \n 96 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n CheeseBread \n \n \n 610 \n \n \n 112 \n \n \n \n \n Olahan \n \n \n Slice Bread \n \n \n 609 \n \n \n 113 \n \n \n \n\n\n Our Creator created natural foods with sodium levels that "will meet needs without causing excess." In addition, the Creator's design to include more potassium in natural foods appears to be a preventative measure against the development of disorders like hypertension. In contrast, processed food has a higher salt level than potassium. It turns out that eating more naturally sourced foods can lower salt intake while increasing potassium, which is anticipated to lower the risk of chronic diseases brought on by too much sodium in the body.

Suicide Preventive and Triggering Factors<\/a><\/h3>
My friend Hermina, depression is frequently linked to suicidal thoughts. In reality, there are other triggering events in addition to depression that lead to suicidal thoughts in certain people. According to the WHO, depression is the fourth-ranking disease in the world and is expected to become a significant health issue. Suicide continues to be a major public health concern today. Around 800,000 people died by suicide in 2019, with youthful age groups experiencing the highest prevalence. Thailand has the highest rate of suicide (12.9 per 100,000 people), followed by Singapore (7.9), Vietnam (7.0), Malaysia (6.2), Indonesia (3.7), and the Philippines (3.7) in Southeast Asia. \n\n The psychiatric approach claims that both hereditary and non-genetic factors, including a number of others, can contribute to depression. Neurochemical abnormalities, neuroendocrine disorders, and changes in neurophysiology are all influenced by genetics. variables that are not hereditary (psychosocial), such as the loss of a beloved item or person, a decline in self-esteem, and the helplessness caused by a depressive parenting style in the family. \n\n A compassionate attitude toward those closest to us indicates that we have prevented suicide. There are some individuals who are at risk of suicide, including: \n\n \n Those who suffer from depression or mental illnesses. Depression is a condition where a person's feelings are diminished, they frequently feel depressed, lack enthusiasm, lose interest in enjoying life, feel easily exhausted or run down, and exhibit other symptoms like frustration, low self-esteem, guilt, and a sense of worthlessness. They may also experience changes in appetite, trouble sleeping, and suicidal thoughts. \n Those who suffer from borderline personality disorder or borderline personality disorder frequently experience feelings of emptiness, difficulties in controlling their emotions, a sense of worthlessness, a propensity to feel uneasy, and even suicidal thoughts. Being exposed to a traumatic incident as a child, such as abuse, violence, or neglect, poor parenting, or seeing a family commit suicide, is the primary cause of BPD. \n Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia patients run the risk of hurting themselves and dying because they can't tell the difference between reality and hallucinations. Schizophrenia sufferers frequently hear menacing voices telling them things such, "You're stupid, you can't do it," or "You'd better die, you're no longer useful." People with schizophrenia will first manage to survive, after which they will start to feel upset. Eventually, they will make unconscious attempts to damage themselves. \n A person who suffers from an addiction disorder that makes them reliant on or addicted to narcotics, alcohol, or tobacco, putting them at a high risk of attempting suicide. \n People who are anorexic or who believe they are overweight and experience depression or frustration as a result of their efforts to lose weight. \n \n\n Hermina's friends should be aware of these warning indicators of suicide thoughts: \n\n There is a tendency to withdraw or be by oneself; he is not enthusiastic, moody, sad, or easily exhausted; he hides his depression by appearing happy; his appetite is reduced; he is extremely anxious and agitated; he attempts to harm himself; and he believes that suicide is an option. \n\n What then should we do if someone close to us are considering suicide? You can take a number of actions to assist stop it, including: \n\n \n Never undervalue or make fun of those who are contemplating suicide; as those who are closest to them, we must have a compassionate disposition and make the effort to hear their problems. Don't let him suppress his emotions. \n Seek expert guidance and facilitation for a visit with a psychologist or psychiatrist. Compliment and inspire him for his accomplishments to date. Inspiration to remember that not all failures spell doom \n People who are sad should not be advised or lectured, as the more blame they receive, the more guilty they will feel and the more likely they will commit a crime. \n \n\n Friends of Hermina, this highlights the significance of eliminating stigma in order to encourage people to seek out a Psychiatrist or Psychologist without hesitation or embarrassment. Because those who suffer from mental illnesses can still get better with medical assistance, social support, and a supportive atmosphere.

Is MCU Prior to Work Important?<\/a><\/h3>
Greetings, Hermina Friends! \n\n Some of you must be asking why we have to complete the MCU before beginning our employment with a business or agency. Is the MCU the primary prerequisite for employment? Moreover, what is the MCU's actual purpose? Let's hear the explanation from Hermina Galaxy Hospital's occupational specialist doctor. \n\n The medical check-up, or MCU as it is more widely known, is in fact one of the primary conditions for hiring new employees at an agency. The MCU is split into three sections, namely: \n\n \n Pre-employment MCU: This MCU is typically performed as a condition of employment before an individual starts working for a firm or agency. \n Periodic MCU is a type of MCU that is repeated frequently over an extended period of time. \n Special MCUs, which are follow-up medical examinations to identify the impact of the worker's job on them, are typically performed in high-risk occupations. \n \n\n \n\n What Tests Are Typically Performed During a Medical Checkup? \n\n We will do a number of tests during the medical examination, including: \n\n \n A full blood count \n Urine Testing a thorough analysis \n X-ray \n EKG (Electrocardiogram) \n \n\n If the work has a significant risk to work safety, further inspections called Special MCU will be conducted after the full series of MCU inspections. \n\n \n\n Factors that Could Affect Medical Exam Results Include: \n\n Friends of Hermina, there are a number of tests that could affect the outcome of your medical checkup, including: \n\n \n Medical issues that make a person appear to be "unfit to work," such as when their health prevents them from performing the job safely or when they are too ill to be forced to work. \n False medical findings brought on by poor pre-examination practices. In situations like this, the potential employee is frequently urged to undergo another assessment. \n \n\n MCU prior to beginning work is crucial for later health and safety. Friends of Hermina, you are welcome to conduct a medical examination at Hermina Galaxy Hospital. The doctor will lead and direct all examinations to ensure that the MCU examination is conducted correctly. Don't be afraid to ask specialists at Hermina Galaxy Hospital about the health of Friends of Hermina.

Observe How Too Much Screen Time Affects Children<\/a><\/h3>
Screen Time is the time we spend looking at the screen, be it television, computers, phones, tablets or other electronic goods. However, what if the child has passed the effective screen time limit? The answer will be very dangerous. Because not all child development occurs due to familiarity with the environment, there is also child development that must be trained and stimulated by parents. So, when a child has too much screen time, what happens is there is no stimulation such as language and motor movements, because the child only focuses on the screen. \n\n Basically the ideal screen time for children aged one to four years is less than 1 hour, then for children aged five years to adults 17 years it may only be 2 hours in one day and that time is outside of online education activity. For children under one year, screen time is not allowed at all so they have to focus more on motor movements and language, this is also a form of prevention against speech delay in children. \n\n So what are the impacts of children who experience excessive screen time? \n\n 1. Delay in child development \n\n The impact on children's development will of course also differ according to their age, but the most common impact is that children's development becomes late both in speech and motor development. \n\n 2. Decrease in academic achievement \n\n For teenagers, the impact is a decrease in academic achievement. Because when screen time is excessive, the child's desire to learn is also reduced and the child's sense of responsibility as a student can also slowly disappear. \n\n 3. Children become anti-social \n\n As the saying goes that today's gadgets "can bring those who are far away closer and keep those close away", when children watch or stare at screens too much, interaction between humans will decrease and children will also prefer to be alone. This makes it difficult for children to get along with the surrounding environment. \n\n Based on the explanation above, it can be concluded, Friends of Hermina, that the child's habit of playing gadgets, when the child stares at the screen and the child's motor development will be very dependent on parents. So it is mandatory for every parent to accompany every child and build a good relationship with the child, especially when it is in its infancy. Friends of Hermina, don't be afraid to talk to our psychologist at Hermina Galaxy Hospital about your child's health.

Watch Out for Children's Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Phase<\/a><\/h3>
Dear Hermina's friends, Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, or DHF as it is frequently abbreviated, is an illness brought on by the dengue virus and spread by the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. The Ministry of Health reported 45,387 cases of dengue up until the 22nd week of 2022, with 432 incidents of deaths. The danger of spreading this virus is significant in nations with tropical and subtropical climates, and it may even increase during the rainy season. When a kid has dengue fever, there are three stages that must be recognized: \n\n \n \n Phase 1 (High Fever Phase) \n \n \n\n This stage is characterized by a high fever that can approach 40 degrees Celsius and lasts for two to seven days, along with pain in the muscles and throat and the development of red spots. A decline in platelets may be indicated by the number of spots that emerge. \n\n \n \n Phase 2 (Critical Phase) \n \n \n\n Parents must be on the lookout for the Crucial Period. The reason for this is that during this stage, the platelets drastically drop, the pulse becomes feeble, and consciousness starts to fade. This phase often starts on the third to seventh day. If not treated right away, this ailment may be fatal. Abdominal pain, persistent nausea and vomiting, breathing difficulties, dark feces, and nose or gum bleeding are indicators that a crucial phase has begun. \n\n \n \n Phase 3 (Recovery Phase) \n \n \n\n The fluid that first exited the blood vessels will reenter during the healing stage. As conditions gradually improve and appetite starts to grow, platelets will eventually start to climb and return to normal. \n\n Similar to dengue fever in adults, dengue fever in children is characterized by a quick rise in temperature to 29 degrees Celsius, as well as the sudden onset of symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, pains, muscle or joint pain, and in some cases, eye pain. Be attentive if you notice your child exhibiting the aforementioned symptoms. If necessary, administer paracetamol to lower the child's fever as first aid; the dosage can be modified based on the child's weight.Don't forget to give the child extra fluids till they can be transferred for more help. Because ionic drinks have the benefit of being swiftly absorbed by the body and having a long shelf life, the fluids that the body itself needs are those with isotonic ion levels. \n\n If Hermina's child exhibits any warning signs, such as nausea, vomiting, unbearable stomach discomfort that prevents him from eating or drinking, chilly hands and feet, or dehydration, friends of Hermina are urged to take the child right away to the nearest hospital. Don't be afraid to ask our pediatrician at Hermina Galaxy Hospital about your child's health.

Knowing the Cause and the Proper Actions When an Infant Is a Febrile Convulsions<\/a><\/h3>
Hermina's buddy, when a child experiences febrile convulsions, people tend to panic and use a variety of first aid methods, such putting a spoon in the child's mouth. The above situation may indirectly cause an infant to have a jaw injury, broken gums, or even be at risk for a broken tooth. When the child's small tubule temperature rises to at least 38°C, febrile convulsions might occur, and this condition is known as kejang demam. Every child has unique genetic predispositions and convulsions, as evidenced by the fact that a child with convulsions at a temperature of 40°C may not experience them, while a child with a fever of 39°C may already be experiencing them. As a rule, febrile convulsions in children occur between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. \n\n Febrile convulsions may be caused by a variety of conditions, including infection of the pernasal sinus membrane, infection with bacteria, virus, mold, and other conditions. In addition to this, there are other factors, such as factors related to the environment and genetics, that can contribute to infants having febrile convulsions. The likelihood that a child will experience convulsions while experiencing a fever will increase if there is a history of febrile convulsions in the family. \n\n Treatment that can be done when a child has a febrile convulsions: \n\n 1. Try to stay calm and don't panic \n2. Place the child on a flat surface or bed \n3. Loosen the little one's clothes, especially around the neck \n4. Keep all dangerous things away from the child \n5. Place the child in a sideways position to prevent the child from choking on the baby's saliva or vomit. \n6. Do not put any object or medicine into the mouth of a child who is having a seizure, because it can clog the respiratory tract and cause injury to the jaw and teeth. \n7. Do not hold the movement of a child who is having a convulsions \n8. Make observations, measure the child's body temperature, and record how long the convulsions last \n9. Always accompany the child during the seizure and after the convulsions lasts \n\n When a child has a convulsions, try to panic to avoid things that could harm the child without realizing it. For prevention, Hermina's friends can provide fever medicine at home so that at any time when your child has a fever, it can be immediately given as an initial treatment so that the child does not have a convulsions. In addition, provide a thermometer at home so that you can find out your child's body temperature when he has a fever, make observations or record when the child has a convulsionsto consult a doctor. Immediately take the child to the hospital if the child has the following conditions: \n\n 1. Child has a convulsions for more than 5 minutes \n2. The child has difficulty breathing and his face starts to turn blue \n3. Convulsions recur within 24 hours. \n4. Loss of consciousness \n5. After having a convulsions, the child has a change in behavior or becomes a hallucination \n\n Hermina friend's, please do not delay in scheduling a consultation for the health of your child with our pediatric specialist at RS Hermina Galaxy. At this time, training new doctors is easier and faster thanks to the Halo Hermina app. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Is having sex while pregnant safe?<\/a><\/h3>
Well, there must be quite a lot of married couples who concern this. Let's discuss in this article, is it safe or not? \n\n Having sex during pregnancy can actually be said to be safe but can also be considered unsafe. When a pregnant woman's womb is having issues, having sex is considered unsafe due to the risks identified in her pregnancy, such as the possibility of an early birth, bleeding, or a previous miscarriage. However, it can be said to be safe if the pregnancy is not at risk in the sense that every obstetric examination has good results. \n\n When is it safe to have sex? \n\n \n Trimester 1 is actually safe to have sex, but usually a woman's desire to have sex will decrease considerably because women have to adapt to various massive changes that occur due to increases in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. \n In the 2nd trimester it is recommended to have sex around the 16th week of pregnancy, because the body's hormones have begun to stabilize so that the early symptoms of pregnancy such as nausea, vomiting, and weakness begin to subside. Recommended once a week. \n In the 3rd trimester, it is highly recommended by doctors to have intercourse, especially when the time of birth is approaching, so that it helps the process of dilating the vagina which is useful for facilitating labor. \n \n\n Is it permissible to expel sperm inside during pregnancy? \n\n So, Friends of Hermina actually have no obstacle to removing sperm inside if the pregnancy conditions are fairly good, but this will cause discomfort. The discomfort is caused because sperm contains proteins that will make the uterus contract. So it is recommended not to excrete inside except in the final trimester. \n\n Yes, I also need to know! that having sex won't harm the unborn child. because the amniotic membranes, uterine muscles, and cervical mucus shield the fetus inside the womb. Friends of Hermina shouldn't be concerned, as this is only a misconception that spreads across society. \n\n So, when you are pregnant, you really need to be diligent in consulting obstetricians and be active and honest about how you feel! Don't hesitate to consult your obstetric health with Dr. Marliana Ritung, SpOG obstetrician at Hermina Galaxy Hospital. Making doctor appointments is easier through the Halo Hermina app and through our call center at 1500488 and the Halo Hermina app, scheduling appointments with doctors is made simpler.

The Effects of Cigarette Smoke on Pregnant Women's Health <\/a><\/h3>
Hermina’s friends, Did you know that pregnant women should avoid inhaling cigarette smoke? Because the chemicals in cigarettes are harmful not only to those who smoke actively but also to passive smokers, or those who do not smoke but nevertheless breathe in smoke from those who do. In this instance, both the pregnant woman and the fetus she is carrying are in risk. Please keep in mind that cigarette smoke can linger in a space for up to 2.5 hours and adhere to anything there. Thousands of pollutants are breathed by pregnant women who smoke cigarettes, reaching the fetus in the womb. There are numerous harmful dangers that could affect: \n\n \n There is a risk of premature birth \n Cigarette smoke has a risk of premature birth and respiratory problems in infants, because it can interfere with lung development. In addition, premature babies are very susceptible to disorders of the digestive tract, susceptible to infection, jaundice, nervous system disorders and bleeding in the blood vessels of the brain. \n Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) \n SIDS generally occurs in infants younger than 1 year of age. SIDS can cause a baby to die suddenly while sleeping, even though before it looks fine without any serious conditions that look dangerous. SIDS can occur because of an abnormality in the part of the baby's brain that regulates breathing or the baby's sleep conditions that can inhibit breathing. \n Low Birth Weight \n The content of cigarette smoke can cause hypoxia in the fetus and cause a decrease in umbilical blood flow, causing growth disorders in the fetus which have an impact on low birth weight (LBW) babies. The baby's weight in a normal birth is about 2.5 kg to 4 kg. A newborn's weight is said to be low if it is less than 2.5 kg. Babies with low body weight are at high risk for respiratory problems, easy infections, and low blood sugar levels, autism, and birth defects. \n Miscarriage \n The danger of cigarette smoke is very dangerous because it can increase the risk of miscarriage, because the content in cigarettes enters the bloodstream of pregnant women and fetuses. In addition, it will inhibit the growth and development of the fetus, causing genetic disorders or birth defects. \n \n\n Friends of Hermina, Pregnant women who often smoke either active smokers or passive smokers also have bad effects such as: \n\n \n Premature rupture of membranes / in the womb that is still very young. There are studies that pregnant women who are exposed to cigarette smoke increase the incidence of premature rupture of membranes. \n The presence of disorders of the placenta, such as separation of the placenta from the uterine wall before birth (placental abruption), the placenta blocking the birth canal (placenta previa), or decreased function of the placenta (placental insufficiency). \n \n\n Hermina’s friend, during pregnancy try to avoid cigarette smoke from exposure to the surrounding environment. Because cigarette smoke has many bad effects, it can even stick to objects around it for up to 2.5 hours. If you have been exposed to it frequently, don't hesitate to consult the obstetrical health of Hermina’s friend with our obstetrician at Hermina Galaxy Hospital. Make doctor appointments easier through the Halo Hermina application and through our call center at 1500488. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Careful! Pregnant Women's Moods Can Affect Fetal Development<\/a><\/h3>
Friends of Hermina, hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy might have an impact on a woman's mood. Due to increased levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which can lower mood and the brain's capacity to monitor emotional changes during pregnancy, pregnant women will become more sensitive than usual. Several variables, besides hormonal changes, can influence mood fluctuations in pregnant women, including: \n\n \n There is a sense of unwarranted worry and stress. Pregnant women typically experience excessive anxiety that stems from their own thoughts, including readiness for childbirth, whether their financial situation is secure enough for potential future needs, their own readiness to become parents, the need to prepare for parenting, the impact of having children on their relationship with their husbands, among other things. \n Pregnancy causes physical changes. These changes are not just physical; they also include uncomfortable side effects including morning sickness, the onset of pain in certain body areas, breathlessness, and trouble sleeping. \n Exhaustion. Pregnant women typically get less sleep during pregnancy because it's hard for them to find a comfortable position, and they frequently wake up. \n \n\n Friends of Hermina, it's common for pregnant women to have emotional instability. However, did you know that a pregnant woman's mood might impact the development of the fetus? Moms are taught to think and act in ways that make them happy while expecting. A 6-month-old fetus can feel the emotions experienced by its mother, according to study from the Association for Psychological Science. The body will release stress hormones that can pass through the baby's placenta the more anxious and depressed a mother feels. If the issue is not dealt with right away, the baby will eventually endure chronic stress, endangering the fetus's growth and development. The potential dangers are as follows: \n\n \n Because the placenta produces large amounts of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which regulates the gestation period and puts babies at risk for premature birth, premature birth is a concern for pregnant women. \n Low birth weight is a risk for newborns. This is due to the fact that emotional disorders in pregnant women might result in IUGR, or intrauterine growth restriction. \n Babies have the chance of having sleep problems, which during pregnancy might result in an overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol. Later on, this hormone will cross the placenta and have an impact on the baby and the area of the brain that controls a child's sleep pattern. \n Diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and others are risk factors for developing in babies. \n \n\n Friends of Hermina, try to be calm during pregnancy and occupy your time with enjoyable activities.
