Francesca Barra opened up about one of the most delicate topics and still considered a taboo: pain during pregnancy. A certainly delicate moment for a woman, but often also underestimated. “When we talk about inconveniences and hassles related to pregnancy, we tend to minimize them and pass them off as ‘a normal experience’ within such a large and important event that affects every aspect of a woman’s life,” said the journalist. during his last interview.
The Purity study
Francesca Barra she is the mother of four children: Renato, Emma and Greta (with her ex-husband Marcello Molfino) and of Atena, 2 years old, with the actor Claudio Santamaria, his current partner. We talk about NVP, Nausea and Vomiting in Pregnancythe study that analyzes the pain and nausea of pregnant women.
From the studio Purityreported by Vanity Fair, it was found that 348 out of 528 women suffered from nausea and vomiting during pregnancy in the first 22 weeks. The symptoms were mild in 34% of cases, moderate in 62% and severe in 4% of women. Purity also reveals that only 25% of the women involved received treatment (pharmacological or non-pharmacological) to combat their symptoms.
The words of Francesca Barra
Francesca Barra commented on the data from the Purity study: «I have never tolerated the fact that would be minimized the word “nuisance“. Because it is true that the annoyance can also be overcome in the short term, but the impact that the sum of the “annoyances” has in the long term – or even the continuation of just one – cannot and must not be underestimated by those who deal with women’s health”.
Then he added: «If I feel nauseous and I already have a child to look after, or I have to go to work or I still have to prepare food, that moment will be extremely tiring for me. And this effort, in the long run, can generate weakness, sadness and discomfort. But how many women express this discomfort which weighs on their daily lives, social relationships, work and loved ones? And how many pregnant women are ashamed to admit they have a problem?”
Francesca Barra concluded with an appeal to all pregnant women: «It is not normal to suffer. Whether it’s a little or a lot, if you don’t take care of your body’s call for help, in the long run it will make itself felt. I would therefore like to say to women who are expecting a child, especially the younger ones, that we must not remain silent, there is no shame in asking for help if necessary. And if someone doesn’t give it to you, it means you’re talking to the wrong person.”
