Emotional Problems Arising during the First Trimester of Pregnancy


This paper proposes a phenomenological exploration of the first trimester of pregnancy. In this paper I have presented three core problems that might already appear in the first trimester of pregnancy: alienation, objectification, and loss of identity, which might cause emotional distress for the woman and further develop into depressive states. The goal of the paper is to indicate the kind of mindful approach we can use to reduce the impact of these problems.
