The Effects of Maternal Depression on Fetal Heart Rate Response to Vibroacoustic Stimulation

Abstract: To better understand the effects of untreated maternal depression on the fetus, this study examined fetal heart rate (FHR) and FHR reactivity to vibroacoustic stimulation in pregnant women with untreated depression. The 20 participants were 32- to 36-week pregnant women divided into groups with depression (N = 10) and without depression (N = 10) based on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck, 1977; Beck & Steer, 1987). Participants were attached to a fetal heart monitor, and 10 min of baseline FHR were reco… Show more

“…Fetuses of women with elevated levels of depression have previously been shown to be slower to return to baseline heart rate following VAS. 17 The low response and the oscillatory pattern in FHR after VAS observed in fetuses from high anxiety mothers in the present study may reflect delayed neurodevelopmental maturation.…”

“…Embora a maioria dos estudos seja focada na depressão pós-parto, a depressão durante a gravidez pode ser considerada questão importante para o campo da saúde pública, visto que constitui um forte fator de risco à depressão pós-natal, apontando para a necessidade de intervenções antes do nascimento do bebê, além das novas evidências de que a depressão gestacional possa causar baixo peso ao nascer, prematuridade e afetar o desenvolvimento da criança 18,19 . A crença de que as emoções da gestante possam afetar a saúde do bebê é muito antiga, mas somente nas últimas décadas despertou o interesse científico [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] . Sabe-se que o ambiente nutricional, hormonal, metabólico, psicológico e social, vivenciado pela mãe durante a gestação, tem relação com a saúde do recém-nato.…”

“…There is evidence that antenatal maternal stress disrupts fetal neurobehavioral development (DiPietro, Hodgson, & Costigan, 1996 ;Tronick & Reck, 2009 ) and alters behavioral reactivity in utero (Allister, Lester, Carr, & Liu, 2001 ;Monk et al, 2000 ).…”
