“…This might be explained that unplanned pregnancies are more likely to be unwanted, and unwanted pregnancies are the major causes of induced abortions which can cause many complications if not managed safely. Besides, an unplanned pregnancy can bring worries during pregnancy because women usually are not mentally ready to take care of the pregnancy in such circumstances [37]. Also, an unwanted pregnancy, especially during the premarital period has a negative attitude towards the current pregnancy [38,39].…”

Background. Depression affects approximately 10 to 20% of pregnant women globally, and one in ten and two in five women in developed and developing countries develop depression during pregnancy, respectively. However, evidence regarding its magnitude and predictors in Southern Ethiopia is limited. The present study is aimed at assessing the magnitude and predictors of antenatal depression among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Sodo town. Methods. A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 403 antenatal care attendants in Sodo town from November 2 to January 30, 2017. Systematic random sampling was used to select the study population, and data were collected by using a pretested and structured questionnaire. Data were entered using Epi-data 4.2 and then exported and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between the dependent variable and independent variables. Variables with P value less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Results. A total of 400 pregnant women were interviewed. The magnitude of antenatal depression was 16.3% (95% CI (12.8%, 19.9%)). Husband’s educational status, at the college and above (AOR: 0.09; 95% CI (0.03, 0.34), regular exercise (AOR: 0.16; 95% CI (0.07, 0.36)), planned pregnancy (AOR: 0.16; 95% CI (0.06, 0.44)), use of family planning (AOR: 0.31; 95% CI (0.14, 0.66)), previous history of anxiety (AOR: 2.96; 95% CI (1.30, 6.74)), previous history of obstetric complications (AOR: 19.03; 95% CI (5.89, 61.47)), and current obstetric complications (AOR: 30.38; 95% CI (3.14, 294.19)) were significant predictors of antenatal depression. Conclusion. Nearly one in six pregnant women had antenatal depression. The husband’s educational status, regular exercise, planned pregnancy, use of family planning, previous history of anxiety, previous history of obstetric complications, and current history of obstetric complications were significant predictors of antenatal depression. Screening for depression during routine antenatal care could be essential and recommended to identify early and prevent further morbidities and mortalities due to antenatal depression.

“…A latest study in Spain had cited that children of patients who presented with threatened preterm labor in their pregnancy but delivered at term had increased risk of mild neurodevelopmental delay when compared to uncomplicated pregnancy children [17]. Another study conducted in Greece showed that 24.3% prevalence of antenatal depression (based on Edinburgh Postnatal depression scale) in women admitted for threatened preterm labor [18]. This imposes the importance of appropriate diagnosis in these women so that they do not suffer unnecessary stress due to hospitalization and improper diagnosis.…”

Prematurity is a primary cause of neonatal mortality worldwide. The survivors also suffer long term complications and significant permanent neurodevelopmental disability. It contributes to about 70% of neonatal deaths and 36% of infant mortality. Neonatal mortality can be reduced by appropriate diagnosis, administration of corticosteroids, judiciary use of tocolytics and timely transfer to a centre with neonatal intensive care unit. Only about 10%-30% of cases with symptoms of preterm labor proceed to preterm delivery. Hence, it is necessary to differentiate between true preterm labor and threatened preterm labor (TPTL). The latter is diagnosed with onset of regular uterine contractions (at least one in ten minutes) with minimal or no cervical changes and intact membranes. There is no exact definition of TPTL and it varies between various institutions and countries. Over the last decade, there has been a tremendous development to aid in the prediction of preterm labor. Recently, transvaginal cervical length measurement and presence of fetal fibronectin (ffn) and/or phosphorylated insulin growth factor binding protein-1 (phIGFBP-1) in cervical fluid can be used to delineate between true and threatened preterm labor.

“…Several predisposing factors for these disorders are known. High-risk pregnancy [14], history of prepregnancy psychological disorders [15], stressful events during pregnancy [16], and economic and social factors [17,18], are known risk factors. The importance of identifying women at risk of depression and anxiety during pregnancy has led screening programs to be included in many prenatal care programs in developed countries [19].…”

Background There is limited information on the changes in uncomplicated pregnancies. Therefore, in the present study, the changes of depression and anxiety changes in uncomplicated pregnancies during the prenatal period was evaluated.Method This longitudinal study was performed on 256 pregnant women at the beginning of the first trimester of pregnancy. Inclusion criteria included the absence of pre-pregnancy depression and anxiety and poor pregnancy history. Exclusion criteria were the incidence of pregnancy complications. The level of their depression and anxiety at the time of entering the study were completed by self-report using the DASS questionnaire at 9–10, 11–12, 24–25, and 33–35 weeks of pregnancy.Results The results of the study indicated the effect of time on the level of perinatal depression and anxiety (p < 0.001). These findings showed that the level of depression increased significantly from 9 to 24 weeks of pregnancy and decreased in the 32–34 weeks, but did not reach the level of depression at 9 weeks of pregnancy. Also, the anxiety level increased significantly from the onset of pregnancy to the 24 weeks gestation but did not change during the second and third trimesters. The findings of the study showed that depression and anxiety levels in each of the pregnancy termites were related to its level in the previous trimesters.Conclusion The results of the study showed that the level of depression and anxiety of women in uncomplicated pregnancies also increases. Therefore, psychological health screenings in the second trimester of pregnancy should be performed in these women.
