The association between dream activity and alexithymia during pregnancy: A cross-sectional study in a sample of pregnant women.
J Sleep Res
December 2024
Department of Psychology, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores how pregnancy-related factors, emotional awareness (alexithymia), and depression impact dream experiences in women during their first trimester, suggesting that dreaming helps with emotional regulation during this sensitive period.
- - 118 pregnant women participated in various questionnaires measuring their dream characteristics, emotional awareness, and depression, revealing that older age, prior pregnancies, and depressive symptoms influenced dream recall and nightmares.
- - Findings indicate that higher alexithymia and depressive symptoms are linked to more frequent and distressing nightmares, suggesting a need for targeted support to improve emotional coping strategies in pregnant women; future studies should look into the content of these nightmares for better understanding.

Objective: To investigate the associations between psychological well-being, measured with the Postnatal Well-being in Transition (PostTrans) Questionnaire, and diabetes distress among mothers with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Method: Eighty-two postnatal women completed a cross-sectional survey. The survey included the Diabetes Distress Scale, and the PostTrans Questionnaire to assess the psychosocial well-being of women transitioning to motherhood.

Background: Maternal psychological distress is related to poorer physical and mental health as well as child developmental problems. Interventions that optimise maternal mental health and wellbeing during the "first 1,000 days" of life should have wide-reaching benefits for the mother and her child. Digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) during this critical period have the potential to equip women with enhanced coping strategies that can be applied and maintained in daily life.

Approximately half of all women develop palpitations during pregnancy, with a quarter experiencing arrhythmias. While most presentations are benign, some cases can result in sudden cardiac death or serious symptom development. Considering such clinical presentation, healthcare providers must acquire knowledge in this area to provide comprehensive prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal care.

Article Synopsis
- Adolescent females, both human and rat, may consume alcohol as a way to cope with negative emotions, particularly during social interactions.
- This study tested how acute ethanol affects different brain regions in female rats with varying levels of social preference, revealing that ethanol significantly altered social behavior in those with initially low social preference.
- There were notable changes in brain activation patterns, including decreased activity in the prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex, but increased activation in the central amygdala, indicating these areas are particularly sensitive to alcohol's effects in adolescent females.
