Social, ECONOMIC and Psychological
Social pressures
Social pressures can effect your pregnancy in different ways, what used to be a normal coffee date with friends could now feel like a death sentence. Being pregnant you will stand out to everyone because you don't look the same as you used to, going out for a friendly coffee could turn into a showing of your belly which you might not be comfortable with. Also other social gatherings such as mothers groups where women who are pregnant come together to talk about ways to be good parents and also the problems that can happen during pregnancy. You may feel pressure form the mothers to know what to say. Ways to overcome these issues would be to talk to one of the mother or the group instructor and tell them how you are feeling and in a social situation tell your friends the pressure you may be under and they will have to understand.
Economic pressures
Economic pressures in pregnancy involves money. The pressures that women might be feeling are the stresses of having to save a lot of money to be able to afford nice things for your child and for your delivery. Women would be stressing over the fact that they have to buy certain things like clothing, beds, car seats you may start to feel over whelmed because you are realising how much money you are going to need to spend in order to take care of your baby. Some ways to overcome these pressures are to have a time plan of how much money you need to save and all the things you need to buy, ask your partner or loved one to help you with buying things and sorting out the money.
Psychological pressures
The main psychological pressures would be the way you think you look. Because your body is changing you may be feeling like you are getting fat and not attractive anymore, this is because your body is growing to make room for the baby. Your self confidence might be low because your body is not what it used to be. Overcoming this issue may be harder than the rest but it is more what you can do not others, it is important to remind yourself that its all worth it because at the end of it you will have a beautiful baby and you body will go back to the way it was. Psychological can also relate with social because you may feel like the people around you are judging you or look skinnier then you.
