“…One of our patients in the non-hysterectomy group had a known history of PND and had prolonged medical treatment after her previous deliveries. 1 in 5 women who suffered from life-threatening complications during childbirth is likely to go into PND 7 . In cases of severe mental illness, there is weak bonding with the child and harming the baby, unable to breastfeed.…”

Objective: to investigate postnatal depression after emergency peripartum hysterectomy versus controls. Material and methods: This case control study was conducted at District headquarters teaching hospital Rawalpindi between July 2020 and June 2021.We compared postnatal depression among patients who underwent emergency peripartum hysterectomy (EPH)versus control group where surgical procedures other than hysterectomy (B-Lynch, uterine artery ligation or internal iliac artery ligation) were performed. Results: A total of 88 patients were included, 44 in hysterectomy group and 44 in non hystrectomized/control group. The scores on Edinburgh post-natal depression scale were high in hysterectomy group (11.61±2.48) , compared to non hysterectomy group(6.79±2.13) which was statistically significant. ( p=0.001).Uterine atony, Placental abruption, placenta previa and accrete, were identified as main reasons for surgical intervention in both groups. Emergency peripartum hysterectomy is a  traumatic birth event with serious physical, emotional and psychological consequences. It is empirical to not only screen the women in immediate postpartum period, but a long term follow up in community is required.

Background COVID-19 has increased the probability of occurrence of maternal anxiety and depression in pregnant women. However, there is limited research on anxiety and depression among pregnant women during the long-term normal prevention of COVID-19 pandemic period. This study aimed to examine the anxiety and depression and influencing factors among perinatal women during the long-term normal prevention of COVID-19 pandemic period in China. Methods A cross-sectional survey was designed. A total of 1338 pregnant women were studied. The prenatal anxiety and depression were assessed by the Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and the Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), respectively. Postnatal depression was assessed by the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale (EPDS) in 10–14 days after delivery. The data analysis was processed by SPSS9.0. Descriptive analysis was expressed by mean and standard deviation. The counting data were expressed by percentage, χ2 test, multiple linear regression and binary logistic regression. Results The incidence of prenatal anxiety (SAS score ≥ 50) was 27.95% (374 cases), prenatal depression (SDS score ≥ 0.5) was 34.01% (455 cases), and postpartum depression (EPDS score ≥ 0.5) was 25.04% (335 cases). Both the prenatal SAS score (r = 0.635, P < 0.001) and prenatal SDS score (r = 0.738, P < 0.001) were related to postpartum depression. Pregnant women who were younger than 35 years, in middle household income, lower education level, underweight before pregnancy, primiparous, and fear of being infected were at increased risk for developing anxiety and depression during the long-term normal prevention of COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions The incidences of postpartum depression among perinatal women during the long-term normal prevention of COVID-19 pandemic period were a little lower than those during the COVID-19 outbreak period, but still higher than those before the COVID-19.
