“…80 Additionally, Uguz et al ., in their study of 90 Turkish women assessed at postpartum period found that newborns of women with major depression (determined using Structured Clinical interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (SCID)) had significantly lower gestational age at delivery (1.44 weeks, P-value=0.015) and lower birth weight (343 g, P-value=0.021) compared with infants of mothers without major depressive disorder. 81 In another study, Ndokera et al reported that infants delivered of depressed Zambian mothers were 0.58 kg (95% CI: 0.09-1.08) lighter and 1.95 cm (95% CI: 0.49-3.50) shorter than infants of non-depressed mothers. 82 A recent study by Bakare et al of infants (mean age=3.56±3.21 months) attending immunization clinics in Nigeria found that the mean weight and length of infants of depressed mothers were significantly lower than infants of non-depressed mothers.…”

Maternal depression, a non-psychotic depressive episode of mild to major severity, is one of the major contributors of pregnancy-related morbidity and mortality. Maternal depression (antepartum or post partum) has been linked to negative health-related behaviours and adverse outcomes, including psychological and developmental disturbances in infants, children, and adolescents. Despite its enormous burden, maternal depression in low-income and middle-income countries remains under-recognised and undertreated. In this Series paper, we systematically review studies that focus on the epidemiology of perinatal depression (ie, during antepartum and post-partum periods) among women residing in low-income and middle-income countries. We also summarise evidence for the association of perinatal depression with infant and childhood outcomes. This review is intended to summarise fi ndings from the existing literature, identify important knowledge gaps, and set the research agenda for creating new generalisable knowledge pertinent to increasing our understanding of the prevalence, determinants, and infant and childhood health outcomes associated with perinatal depression. This review is also intended to set the stage for subsequent work aimed at reinforcing and accelerating investments toward providing services to manage maternal depression in low-income and middle-income countries.

“…[1][2][3] Antenatal depression is highly comorbid with antenatal anxiety 4,5 and both are risk factors for postpartum depression that can impair mother-infant interactions. 6 Antenatal depression and anxiety correlate with low birth weight, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and difficulties in offspring including emotional and behavioural problems, cognitive impairment and psychopathology. [16][17][18][19][20] Understanding the causes and prevalence of mental health problems in pregnancy and the early postpartum period is important for clinical management.…”

BackgroundIn the UK, 11.8% of expectant mothers undergo an elective caesarean section (ELCS) representing 92 000 births per annum. It is not known to what extent this procedure has an impact on mental well-being in the longer term.AimsTo determine the prevalence and postpartum progression of anxiety and depression symptoms in women undergoing ELCS in Wales.MethodPrevalence of depression and anxiety were determined in women at University Hospital Wales (2015–16; n = 308) through completion of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS; ≥13) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI; ≥40) questionnaires 1 day prior to ELCS, and three postpartum time points for 1 year. Maternal characteristics were determined from questionnaires and, where possible, confirmed from National Health Service maternity records.ResultsUsing these criteria the prevalence of reported depression symptoms was 14.3% (95% CI 10.9–18.3) 1 day prior to ELCS, 8.0% (95% CI 4.2–12.5) within 1 week, 8.7% (95% CI 4.2–13.8) at 10 weeks and 12.4% (95% CI 6.4–18.4) 1 year postpartum. Prevalence of reported anxiety symptoms was 27.3% (95% CI 22.5–32.4), 21.7% (95% CI 15.8–28.0), 25.3% (95% CI 18.5–32.7) and 35.1% (95% CI 26.3–44.2) at these same stages. Prenatal anxiety was not resolved after ELCS more than 1 year after delivery.ConclusionsWomen undergoing ELCS experience prolonged anxiety postpartum that merits focused clinical attention.Declaration of interestNone.

“…Oligohydramnios is a considerable risk factor that may lead preterm birth and intrauterine growth restriction (Melamed et al, 2011;Petrozella, Dashe, McIntire, & Leveno, 2011). On the other hand, it has been reported that depression and anxiety disorders may negatively affect gestational age and intrauterine fetal growth (Grote et al, 2010;Uguz et al, 2011Uguz et al, , 2013. Therefore, oligohydramnios secondary to depression and GAD may also play a significant role in poor fetal outcomes.…”
