“…Pregnant women with depression and anxiety are more likely to suffer from pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and vomiting [115]. While Grigoriadis et al [116] found no correlation between depression and pre-eclampsia, a more recent study [117] showed that depressive symptoms in pregnant women may be associated with an increased risk of pre-eclampsia.…”

“…While Grigoriadis et al [116] found no correlation between depression and pre-eclampsia, a more recent study [117] showed that depressive symptoms in pregnant women may be associated with an increased risk of pre-eclampsia. Moreover, a number of studies have noted that depressive and anxious pregnant women consulted their doctors more often and were more likely to require pain relief during the birth [115]. Other perinatal complications arising from mild to clinically relevant symptoms of prenatal maternal stress, depression or anxiety can include premature delivery and low birth weight of the child [118][119][120].…”

!In recent decades, the understanding of the short and longer term effects of health-damaging behaviors and mental health problems in pregnant women and the underlying mechanisms of these behaviors and illnesses has significantly increased. In contrast, little is known about the factors affecting individual pregnant women which contribute to health-damaging behaviors and mental illness. The aim of this paper was therefore to summarize the current state of research into the consequences of nicotine and alcohol consumption, malnutrition, excessive weight gain or obesity, and impaired mental health (depression and anxiety) during pregnancy. In addition, the characteristics of pregnant women which increase their risk of developing such behaviors or mental disorders are described. A better knowledge of these risks should make it easier for clinicians to identify cases at risk early on and put measures of support in place. A review of the literature has shown that certain characteristics of pregnant women (e.g. her relationship with her partner, a previous history of mental illness prior to pregnancy) are associated with various healthdamaging behaviors as well as with impaired mental health. Affected women often show an accumulated psychosocial stress which was already present prior to the pregnancy and which may persist even after the birth of the child.

“…Blood-and injection phobia is also known to be associated with several co-morbid psychiatric conditions such as major depression, obsessivecompulsive disorder, panic disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (Bienvenu and Eaton, 1998;Goisman et al, 1998). Maternal stress due to psychopathological factors such as depression and anxiety during pregnancy may constitute a risk for adverse pregnancy and perinatal outcomes (Alder et al, 2007;Li et al, 2009;Lou et al, 1994;O´Connor et al, 2002;Rodriguez and Bohlin, 2005). A recent study by Wisner concluded that continuous untreated depression in pregnant women was associated with preterm birth rates exceeding 20 % (Wisner et al, 2009).…”

Depression and anxiety during pregnancy: A risk factor for obstetric, fetal and neonatal outcome? A critical review of the literature

Abstract: Enhanced levels of depression and anxiety symptoms during pregnancy contribute independently of other biomedical risk factors to adverse obstetric, fetal and neonatal outcome. However, conclusions for women with mood or anxiety disorders are limited.
