प्रेग्नेंसी प्लानिंग में स्ट्रेस कैसे कम करें? | Stress Management in Pregnancy Planning | Dr. Neha

In the video by Dr. Neha Jadhav, she emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the preconception period to effectively manage stress. A balanced diet that includes adequate fiber, vitamins, minerals, and proteins plays a crucial role in regulating hormones, reducing obesity, and enhancing fertility. At the same time, avoiding sugar, processed foods, junk food, beverages, smoking, and alcohol is vital for overall health. Dr. Jadhav also highlights the need for regular, quality sleep—ideally 7 to 8 hours daily at consistent times—as poor sleep can disturb hormonal balance and impact day-to-day functioning. Reducing screen time before bed is equally important due to the harmful effects of blue light on sleep cycles. Regular physical activity, including prenatal yoga, breathing exercises, and stretching, is recommended to maintain hormonal balance and stimulate the release of endorphins, which positively influence fertility. Additionally, mind-body practices like acupressure, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), and mindfulness techniques are beneficial for stress relief. Joining support groups or seeking professional counseling from psychiatrists or psychologists can also provide emotional support and help in managing stress more effectively. Dr. Jadhav advises discussing the use of herbal supplements and antioxidants with a doctor, as these can reduce oxidative stress and insulin resistance. She also underscores the importance of quitting smoking and alcohol, with help from counseling programs if needed. Ultimately, she notes that many couples experience improved chances of natural conception simply by effectively managing their stress.
