Pregnancy is the most crucial period in
the life of a woman. Especially, the time she is pregnant for the
first time, it gets too difficult for her to maintain her mental
equilibrium and posture. She remains most tender; and unexplainable
feelings of anxiety grip her. This is the time, when she requires
understanding and sympathy, the most.
The most unwelcome development for her
during this period is sickness. She remains always doubly worried.
Firstly, about her own constitution, and next, how to properly
support the other growing tiny self within her! Her worry about the
later aspect is much more.
And there at times come acne to add to
her sorry state. Acne is a disease that upsets the woman even during
the normal times. And during pregnancy she is doubly upset, because
she has information that acne is a hereditary disease. Her intense
worry is that, what if the child gets acne?
Herein, you can play a guard to the
emotions of your wife. As such you can not do anything to help your
wife to cope acne in pregnancy. But you can surely get her the best
medical advice and provide or not provide her medication, on the
lines indicated by the medical practitioner. Your sympathy and
understanding and kind words are more than any balm, lotion or gel to
her.
You can provide her with good reading
material or articles on how the other women have faced similar
situations in their life and how they were able to tackle it
successfully.
Such success stories do a lot to boost
her moral courage. That is the real medication needed at this time of
her life. Don't allow her heavy mood swings to overpower her. Keep
her in good humor by talking to her sweet nothings and by telling her
that acne is indeed a minor problem!
But if the depression persists, it
could be Postpartum Depression (PPD). Before it gets serious, consult
a psychiatrist or a specialist.
The correct causes of acne are still
not known. It is a subject, under active research. Acne could be due
to the side effects of certain other medications. Stress and
pregnancy could itself be the reason for acne. So, you can carefully
advise your wife against stressing out on this aspect of acne.
At this stage, what she needs is your
constant company. You are a better subject to talk to, than the
subject of acne. Spend as much time as is possible in her company.
That is the best that you can do for her.
