“…In addition, higher rates of behavioral and emotional problems have been reported in children whose mothers experienced high levels of anxiety in late pregnancy 36 . Further, maternal anxiety during pregnancy and the postpartum period have been reported to predict socio-emotional development 37 and may be associated with developmental delays in children 38 . Therefore, there is a need to cope with and reduce anxiety in primiparas.…”

The proportion of women who experience a depressive state after delivery differs between primiparas and multiparas, so it is important to clarify the different factors related to depression between the two groups. In this study, we confirmed the differences in depressive states, the perinatal period, and social support between primiparas and multiparas, and clarified their characteristics. Data were extracted from a prospective cohort questionnaire survey conducted on pregnant women in Japan that included sociodemographic questions, the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, and the Japanese version of the Social Support Questionnaire. We carried out the chi-square test, Student’s t-test, and analysis of covariance to compare responses between primiparas and multiparas. A total of 1138 primiparas and 380 multiparas provided valid responses. We found that primiparas had higher rates of experiencing maternity blues and postpartum depression than multiparas. We also found that primiparas had higher anxiety scores than multiparas. Primiparas with postpartum depression perceived a lower number of persons available to provide social support than primiparas without postpartum depression. These findings suggest that it is important to provide pregnant women, especially for primiparas, with information that allows them to increase the number of people who can provide them with support.

“…Isolating the exposure from the outcome is complex and may lead to a variety of methods to manage confounding and surrounding factors. Prenatal factors that are associated with neurodevelopmental difficulties include poor maternal mental health, illness or substance use and birth outcomes such as preterm or low birthweight . These need to be considered along with some post‐birth risks such as continued IPV, postnatal depression and possible aspects of feeding and parenting …”

Background Stress during pregnancy is known to affect fetal neurodevelopment. It seems likely therefore that intimate partner violence (IPV) and domestic violence (DV) as extreme stressors will have a similarly adverse effect. Objectives A systematic review was conducted to assess the association between prenatal exposure to violence for mothers and developmental difficulties in their children. Data sources PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL, ERIC, Science Direct, SCOPUS, PsyARTICLES, Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations, Women's Studies International and Gender Studies Database were all searched using the agreed search terms. Study selection and data extraction We include studies of women who have experienced any violence, fear of violence or aggression while pregnant, including emotional, psychological, physical or sexual violence in the context of IPV or DV. Studies were excluded if the neurodevelopmental outcomes of the offspring were not assessed. Studies from all countries were included, in English or translated to English, and search dates were not restricted. We included all years from inception of the database until the search date. Synthesis Study design and biases, assessment tools, management of confounding, results and overall quality were assessed. Results We identified 11 papers reporting on observational studies. Almost three quarters of the studies found a relationship between prenatal exposure to violence and developmental difficulties in the offspring. Differing assessment tools were used with a range of data collected and not all adjusted their findings for the same confounders. Conclusions Current evidence on the relationship between prenatal violence exposure, as IPV or DV, and consequent child developmental disorders remains limited. Future research using comprehensive study designs, larger samples and longitudinal follow‐up of the offspring could clarify this association. While maternal trauma resulting from exposure to violence may play an important role in childhood development disorders, additional intervening factors on the pathway need further explored.

“…The majority of these studies have measured depression at only one time point during pregnancy. A recent study that investigated prenatal/post natal trajectories of maternal anxiety measured at multiple time points during pregnancy and in the post natal period found that only high persistent anxiety was predictive of developmental delay in children at 3 years (17). It is also seen in previous studies that maternal nutrition, especially vitamin B12, its metabolites and folate could have an association with maternal depression and child neurodevelopment.…”
