“…1 PND is among the most common obstetric complications and it adversely affects both maternal and child wellbeing. 2 However, it is difficult to recognize because women often do not observe changes in their mood or are reluctant to report them. If left untreated, PND can have devastating effects on women, infants, and families.…”

Purpose Few studies have explored the association between sleep quality and depressive symptoms in perinatal women from the second trimester to the postpartum period. This study aims to explore this relationship using a longitudinal design. Patients and Methods Participants were enrolled at 15 gestational weeks. Demographic information was collected. Perinatal depressive symptoms were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Sleep quality was measured employing the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) at five timepoints from enrollment to three months postpartum. Overall, 1416 women completed the questionnaires at least thrice. A Latent Growth Curve (LGC) model was performed to identify the relationship between the trajectories of perinatal depressive symptoms and sleep quality. Results Of the participants, 23.7% screened positive at least once on the EPDS. The perinatal depressive symptoms trajectory, fitted by the LGC model, decreased at early pregnancy and increased from 15 gestational weeks to three months postpartum. The intercept of sleep trajectory positively affected the intercept of perinatal depressive symptoms’ trajectory; the slope of sleep trajectory positively affected both the slope and the quadratic coefficient of perinatal depressive symptoms’ trajectory. Conclusion The trajectory of perinatal depressive symptoms increased from 15 gestational weeks to three months postpartum following a quadratic trend. Poor sleep quality was associated with depression symptoms beginning at the onset of pregnancy. Moreover, rapidly declining sleep quality could be a significant risk factor for perinatal depression (PND). These findings call for greater attention to perinatal women who report poor and persistently deteriorating sleep quality. Additional sleep-quality evaluations, depression assessments, and referrals to mental health care providers may benefit these women and support PND prevention, screening, and early diagnosis.

“…Postpartum depression significantly disrupts a woman's life and has a detrimental effect on the mother's relationship with her child and partner. Women who have experienced postpartum depression have a higher incidence of divorce, child abuse and neglect, chronic depression, suicide, and infanticide [12,13]. Numerous hypotheses explain depression by activating the HPA (Hypothalamus Pituitary Axis), which is triggered by increased cortisol secretion in response to environmental stress, which tends to increase during pregnancy [14][15][16][17].…”

Background: Extensive studies indicate that prenatal depression disrupts a woman's life and has a detrimental effect on the mother-child and further breastfeeding. Numerous factors associated with nutrition, physical activity, sleep patterns, and exposure to cigarette smoke are strongly suspected of contributing to the dysregulation of hormones associated with depression. This study aims to examine the association between physical activity, nutritional status, prior exposure to cigarette smoke, and the risk of prenatal depression. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 79 pregnant women at the Pampang Primary Healthcare Center between January and March 2021. Using chi-square and multiple logistic regression, identify the risk factors that most significantly contribute to the risk of prenatal depression. Result: Married under the age of 19th (p<0.039), inactive daily exercise (p<0.023), inadequate sleep duration (p<0.045), and mothers who have been exposed to cigarette smoke for more than a year (p<0.001) all increased the risk of prenatal depression. Cigarette exposure, contributes most, with a 5.4-fold increased risk of developing mental disorders while breastfeeding. Conclusion: It is critical for health services to include early screening for prenatal depression during antenatal care as a means of preventing future breastfeeding difficulties, particularly in mothers with vulnerability.
