Aim: Our objective was to examine the associations between maternal psychological health (trait anxiety, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms) during pregnancy or postpartum and infant visual, language. motor, and overall cognitive development. Study Design and Methods: In the prospective Pregnancy. Infection, and Nutrition Study (2001-2006), central North Carolina women completed self-administered questionnaires during pregnancy to assess trait anxiety and depressive symptoms. An in-person interview assessed maternal perceived stress and depressive symptoms in the 4th postpartum month. Infant development was assessed at 12 months using the Mullen Scales of Early Learning (n = 358). Multiple linear regression with restricted cubic splines was used to examine potential non-linear associations between trait anxiety, perceived stress, and depressive symptoms in relation to Mullen sub-scales and Composite scores. Results: Increasing maternal anxiety was associated with poorer overall cognition (adjusted 13 for Composite = -0.2, 95% CI: -0.4, 0.0). Postpartum stress was positively associated with language development and general cognition (adjusted beta for Expressive Language = 0.2, 95% Cl: 0.0, 0.4; adjusted beta for Composite = 0.3. 95% CI: 0.0, 0.6). Elevated depressive symptoms throughout pregnancy and postpartum were associated with better fine motor skills (adjusted beta=9.7. 95% Cl: 3.9, 15.5). Anxiety, postpartum depressive symptoms and stress were associated with gross motor skills in a non-linear fashion, as were postpartum depressive symptoms and stress with expressive language. Conclusions: Maternal trait anxiety, depressive symptoms and stress had little negative influence on infant cognitive development. In fact, moderate psychosocial distress may slightly accelerate motor development in particular, and some aspects of language. Published by Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
