“…[7][8][9][10] A number of anatomical, physiologic/hormonal and stress factors may be implicated in hindering successful lactation, for example, immature mammary development resulting from shortened gestation (lactogenesis I), decreased milk production (lactogenesis II), and/or stress. 8,[11][12][13][14][15] Stress, be it physical or psychological, may hinder lactation via physiologic/hormonal responses that inhibit milk synthesis (for example, prolactin), milk release (for example, oxytocin) and/or maternal behavior. 16 The stress that mother's experience, following a premature delivery, may include not only maternal concerns over infant's health, 8,17,18 but also their own health, lifestyle (for example, employment, family responsibilities), lack of social support and/or limited socioeconomic resources, just to name a few.…”

Objective: (1) To compare maternal characteristics and psychological stress profile among African-American, Caucasian and Hispanic mothers who delivered very low birthweight infants. (2) To investigate associations between psychosocial factors, frequency of milk expression, skin-to-skin holding (STS), and lactation performance, defined as maternal drive to express milk and milk volume.Study Design: Self-reported psychological questionnaires were given every 2 weeks after delivery over 10 weeks. Milk expression frequency, STS, and socioeconomic variables were collected.Result: Infant birthweight, education, and milk expression frequency differed between groups. Trait anxiety, depression and parental stress in a neonatal intensive care unit (PSS:NICU) were similar. African-American and Caucasian mothers reported the lowest scores in state anxiety and social desirability, respectively. Maternal drive to express milk, measured by maintenance of milk expression, correlated negatively with parental role alteration (subset of PSS:NICU) and positively with infant birthweight and STS. Milk volume correlated negatively with depression and positively with milk expression frequency and STS.Conclusion: Differences between groups were observed for certain psychosocial factors. The response bias to self-reported questionnaires between groups may not provide an accurate profile of maternal psychosocial profile. With different factors correlating with maintenance of milk expression and milk volume, lactation performance can be best enhanced with a multi-faceted intervention program, incorporating parental involvement in infant care, close awareness and management of maternal mental health, and encouragement for frequent milk expression and STS.

“…This finding supports the notion that the developmental delays were a consequence of early delivery brought on by maternal antenatal depression. Results from several studies substantiate the impact of maternal depression on the length of gestation by showing that antenatal depression is associated with either a reduced gestational age [37] or a greater incidence of preterm birth among severely depressed women compared to non-depressed women [38,39]. The influence of antenatal depression on gestational age may be explained by a potential biological pathway.…”

“…The influence of antenatal depression on gestational age may be explained by a potential biological pathway. According to recent studies, cortisol increases the release of a placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) [39,40], which plays a key role in triggering parturition [40][41][42][43]. Antenatal depression is related to a greater incidence of premature delivery and to elevated antenatal cortisol levels compared to non-depressed women [38].…”

Objective To examine the association between antenatal depression and infant development after controlling for confounding factors. Methods A hospital-based prospective cohort study (Hokkaido Study on Environment and Children's Health) was conducted between July 2002 and October 2005 in Sapporo, Japan. Of 309 mothers who delivered at Sapporo Toho Hospital during the study period and who agreed with the clinical assessment of depression, 154 mother-infant pairs were eligible for analysis. Antenatal depression was assessed between the second and third trimesters using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and infant development was assessed at 6 months by the Bayley Scales of Infant Development II (BSID-II). Data on potential confounders, including socioeconomic status, birth complications, postnatal depression and child care environment, were obtained from medical records and selfadministered questionnaires. Univariable and multivariable analyses were conducted in which the EPDS score was entered as an independent variable and the BSID-II scores as a dependent variable, adjusting for confounders. Results Although the antenatal EPDS score tended to be related to the BSID-II score in the univariable analysis, this correlation was lost in the multivariable analysis. However, based on a series of linear regression analyses, antenatal depression was found to be significantly related to shorter gestational age (b = -0.25, 95 % confidence interval (CI) [-1.20, -0.17]), and shorter gestational age was significantly related to a lower BSID-II (mental development) score (b = 0.23, 95 % CI [0.00, 0.00]). Conclusions Gestational age is an important confounder in the association between maternal antenatal depression and infant development. A delay in infant development may be related to a shorter gestational period caused by maternal depression during pregnancy.
