Babies are precious gifts that bring joy to the world. They offer endless moments of laughter, love, and pride to their parents. Indeed, pregnancy can be an emotional rollercoaster with tears flowing endlessly from hormonal imbalances to uncontrollable weeping episodes. It may seem odd or unnecessary for an expectant mother to cry for no apparent reason, but your tears actually benefit both you and your baby beyond the obvious emotional release.
Let’s Talk Hormones
Hormones! Those pesky little organisms responsible for our erratic behavior (on top of everything else) during pregnancy. The human body is designed in such a way that hormones regulate almost all fundamental processes from digestion down through motility commands sent via neurotransmitters that prompt various functions like sleeping and wakefulness into action such as in REM sleep cycle which very few people understand until they have experienced what it feels like after a night without one.
One dominant hormone amid others during this period is estrogen whose levels fluctuate during prenatal periods increasing tenfold above normal average levels especially towards the third trimester when babies gain weight and assume proper positioning within utero i.e head-down position; (preferably facing backwards).
Another hormone worth mentioning herein is oxytocin whose production surges dramatically when mums produce tears lately discovered by scientists at Harvard University; as previously mentioned excessive emotions typically exhibited through constant crying denotes highest attainable Oxytocin surge hence indicating excess amounts secreted stand us in good stead while pregnant — boosting immunity ensuring better sleep quality promoting trust among partners enhancing maternal nutritive intents lowering postpartum risks too!
Here are some incredibly astounding revelatory reasons why you should unabashedly shed more than just those happy-sad-emotional-Overemotional times-by purposefully giving yourself permission whenever need arises:
Healthy Baby
Research has shown that crying releases a hormone called prolactin, which, when secreted during breastfeeding, nourishes your newborn baby. Furthermore, studies indicate that regular crying sessions lead to the transfer of antibodies present in tears from mom to baby through vaginal secretions increasing immunity further against future infections making delivery easier due to softening cervix pre-delivery.
Serotonin Levels Regulation
