Many mothers worry about accidentally affecting their fetus during pregnancy. Recently, a pregnant mother sought advice from obstetrician Dr. Su Yi-ning, explaining that she suffered from insomnia throughout her pregnancy and was concerned about whether it would affect her baby. In response, Dr. Su Yi-ning posted on Facebook, drawing empathy from many other mothers.
A pregnant mother stated that she was 31 weeks pregnant and had been sleepless all night, fearing that this would affect fetal development. Dr. Su Yi-ning replied to the question, stating that research shows over 70% of pregnant women experience compromised sleep quality due to pregnancy, and chronic insomnia is detrimental to health. However, she reminded the pregnant mother to find ways to adjust but not to worry about the baby.
Dr. Su Yi-ning directly replied to the pregnant mother's private message, "Does worrying help?" She bluntly stated that a baby's sleep cycle in the womb averages about 20 minutes per rotation, saying, "The baby never cares about you, so why should you care about the baby?"
After the post was published, many mothers responded enthusiastically: "Babies really don't give a damn about you; in this relationship, you're the only one putting in effort from beginning to end," "Pregnant mothers truly think about their babies first, rarely themselves," and "Don't be afraid, you'll have plenty of sleepless nights once the baby is born."
Many experienced mothers also shared their stories: "When I was pregnant with my second child, I went through some things and had sleepless nights, my hair turned gray, but during check-ups, she was completely unaffected, growing within the normal range, sleeping and sucking her thumb! So there's no need to worry too much!" They indicated that insomnia is common, and learning to adjust is most important, rather than worrying excessively.
