Pregnancy during the pandemic: the impact of COVID-19-related stress on risk for prenatal depression

Lucy S. King et al.

Summary: This study examines the stress and adversity related to the COVID-19 pandemic among pregnant women and its association with prenatal depressive symptoms. The findings suggest that pregnant women during the pandemic are more vulnerable to depression, and both individual and community-level factors contribute to COVID-19-related stress and adversity. Subjective stress responses are strongly associated with depressive symptoms during the pandemic.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety and depressive symptoms in pregnant women: a preliminary study

Ferit Durankus et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the depression and anxiety levels of pregnant women. The results showed significant impacts of the pandemic on psychology, social isolation, and depression and anxiety scores, with more severe effects in the case group. Regression analysis also revealed significant associations between depression and anxiety levels and the psychological and social isolation effects of the disease. Therefore, providing psychosocial support to pregnant women during the crisis is crucial to prevent adverse events for both mothers and fetuses.

COVID-19: what about pregnant women during first lockdown in Italy?

Chiara Ionio et al.

Summary: The study focused on the impact of COVID-19 on pregnant women's mental health, particularly in regions heavily affected by the pandemic. Results showed that women in Lombardy had a stronger perception of the importance of COVID-19, and those who viewed it as a significant event experienced higher levels of perinatal depressive symptoms. It was also found that women with more intrusion and hyperarousal symptoms, as well as lower planning ability, were more likely to experience depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Monitoring and support for pregnant women, especially in high-risk areas like Lombardy, is crucial to reduce mental health challenges.

Maria Laura Filippetti et al.

Summary: This study found that the COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the mental health of expectant mothers in the UK, with increased prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress related to the psychological impact of COVID-19.

Summary: The study assessed stressors, coping behaviors, and resources needed in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic among 162 perinatal women in the United States. During the pandemic, pregnant women faced challenges in accessing healthy foods and prenatal care, as well as financial issues and childcare difficulties. Women of racial and ethnic minority, and lower-income status experienced increased stressors and less social support. Participants expressed concerns about their baby contracting COVID-19, missing key obstetric appointments, and needing support from friends, family, and birthing classes. Financial resources, COVID-19 information related to maternal-infant health outcomes, safe healthcare access, and baby supplies were identified as primary resources needed. Healthcare providers should engage in conversations regarding access to resources, refer patients to counseling services and virtual support groups, and screen pregnant women for stressors to better support perinatal women's mental health during the pandemic.
