Earthquake Stress Can Trigger Premature Birth Risk in Pregnant Women.

Pregnant women in the earthquake area are at higher risk due to the stress, fear and anxiety they will experience during or after the earthquake. Stress and anxiety experienced during pregnancy can have negative effects on the health of the mother and baby. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women in the earthquake zone to be extra careful and take the right precautions.

Low risk: The intense stress experienced during and after the earthquake can increase the risk of a miscarriage that could terminate the pregnancy. Also, risks such as falling or injury during an earthquake can increase the risk of miscarriage.

Early birth: Earthquake can cause premature birth in late pregnancy. Intense stress and anxiety can cause labor to start prematurely. In addition, adverse conditions after the earthquake may increase the risk of premature birth.

Not enought feeding: After an earthquake, access to water resources may be difficult and feeding conditions may deteriorate. This can prevent the mother and baby from growing healthily and cause complications in pregnancy.

Fetal stress: During an earthquake, the baby in the womb may also experience stress. This condition is called fetal stress and can negatively affect the baby's normal development. Risk of injury: During an earthquake, everyone is at risk of injury, including pregnant women. Pregnancy injuries can adversely affect pregnancy. Therefore, it is important for pregnant women in the earthquake zone to be extra careful and take the right precautions. Pregnant women avoiding stress, eating right, exercising regularly and going to regular doctor check-ups can help reduce negative effects. It is also important for them to go to a safe hospital when the birth process approaches and give birth there. In this way, healthy growth of mother and baby can be ensured by avoiding adverse postpartum conditions.

First of all, pregnant women in the earthquake area should prepare an emergency bag. This bag should contain basic supplies, diapers, water, food, medicines and documents that the mother and baby may need.

Secondly, it is important for pregnant women to be as calm as possible during or after the earthquake and not to panic. If possible, they should go to a safe area and wait as long as they can.

Third, it is important for pregnant women in the earthquake area to see their doctors regularly and follow their pregnancies closely. Many different complications can occur during pregnancy and these complications can become even more dangerous in harsh conditions such as living in an earthquake zone.

Finally, it is important for pregnant women in the earthquake zone to go to a safe hospital and give birth there when the birth process approaches. After an earthquake, hospitals can be damaged or exceed their capacity, so pregnant women should be prepared before delivery.
