Anxiety and depression levels among pregnant women with COVID ‐19

AbstractWe read with great interest the Special Editorial by Dr Thapa and co ‐authors on the importance of not neglecting emotions of pregnant women during the COVID‐19 pandemic1 as maternal mental health can be associated with short and long term risks for their and their children ’s physical and psychological health. Most studies on COVID‐19 in pregnancy have focused on physical effects of the pandemic on infected mothers as well as the possibility of vertical transmission: these tend to eclipse the equally relevant maternal mental health needs during these unprecedented times.
