Psychological distress in pregnancy and postpartum.

CONCLUSION: Depression, stress, and anxiety are common in pregnant women and often occur together. Prenatal psychological distress measures are associated with postnatal psychological distress measures, with stronger associations among women with more than one type of psychological distress in pregnancy. Interventions during pregnancy may reduce the risk of postpartum psychological distress. PMID: 32035798 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
