Objective: To assess the impact of pregnant women's depression state upon their pregnancy outcome Methodology: A descriptive purposive study was used to assess the impact of pregnant women's depression state on their pregnancy outcomes. The study was conducted from (22 nd \ September \ 2020 to 15 th \ February \ 2021). A non-probability sample (purposive sample) was selected from 100 women. Data were collected through an interview with the mother in the counseling clinic, during the third trimester of pregnancy, as well as after childbirth in the labour wards to assess the outcome of pregnancy. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics (frequency and percentages). Results:The most important thing observed in this study was the negative pregnancy outcome for women suffering from depression during pregnancy. Low birth weight (31%), premature labor (22%), stillbirth (2%), intrauterine growth restriction (1%) Recommendations:The study recommends according to the results. We suggest that health care providers pay attention to the mental state of pregnant women. Providing training and scheduling support during pregnancy for mothers in order to identify risk factors and achieve skills and knowledge to support mothers, as well as providing a soothing atmosphere to ensure a peaceful environment for pregnant women.

“…Maternal anxiety during pregnancy has its own influences on infant outcomes. The pathophysiology is not well understood but many factors play a role including fetal programing, genetic factors and post-partum environmental factors 50 . The effects of anxiety on maternal behavior can be broad, but it can present as disinterest, disengagement, insensitivity and even harsh parenting.…”

Anxiety during pregnancy is associated with adverse outcomes in mothers and infants. Unfortunately, as anxiety is often synonymously mentioned with depression, the studies focusing solely on anxiety during pregnancy are not as robust as those in the field of depression are. In this work, we provide an overview of what is currently known about general anxiety during pregnancy, pregnancy-related anxiety and the potential impacts anxiety could have on post-partum care. An overview of potential risk factors, post-partum maternal outcomes, infant outcome along with pharmacological and nonpharmacological treatments are covered with a specific focus on high-risk pregnancies. Although anxiety during pregnancy is normative; anxiety can become problematic and negatively impact upon behavior, resulting in potential harm to the mother, as well as her developing fetus or child (ren) at home. The clinical diagnosis for anxiety and conditions associated with anxiety often require lengths of time that are not applicable for the pregnant patient, which has led to diagnosis and terms such as pregnancy-related anxiety. Importantly, increasing awareness about the increased potential risk to mothers who may be affected by anxiety during pregnancy or the post-partum period has the potential to improve maternal mental health screening and access to care.

“…There is no consensus on the period in which maternal depressive symptoms or anxiety affect infant birth weight. Many previous studies have examined depressive symptoms or anxiety at only once in pregnancy (Nordeng et al, 2012;Chang et al, Nasreen et al 2019;Dowse, 2020). In addition, several researchers have reported these associations without a defined period (Field et al, 2010;Flynn et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2017).…”

Introduction: Depressive symptoms and anxiety are the most common mental health problems during pregnancy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between each trimester’s maternal depressive symptoms, anxiety, and infant birth weight. Methods: We recruited pregnant women in their second trimester. Participants’ blood and saliva were collected in the second trimester to investigate plasma cortisol and saliva oxytocin levels. Participants completed self-reported questionnaires that included the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) in the second and third trimesters. Hierarchical multiple linear regression was conducted using stepwise selection. Results: Eighty-one primiparas participated in the study. As the results of linear regression showed, gestational age, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, weight gain during pregnancy, and depressive symptoms in the third trimester were associated with infant birth weight. Depressive symptoms in the third trimester predicted lower infant birth weight. In contrast, depressive symptoms in the second trimester, state anxiety, and trait anxiety in both the second and third trimesters did not predict infant birth weight. Similarly, maternal plasma cortisol and saliva oxytocin levels were not related to infant birth weight. Conclusion: Maternal depressive symptoms in the third trimester predicted lower infant birth weight. Mental health care for depressive symptoms in late pregnancy might be important for infant birth weight increases.
