Antenatal depression,also known as prenatal or perinatal depression,is a form of clinical depression that can affect a woman during pregnancy,and can be a precursor to postpartum depression if not properly treated. It is estimated that 7% to 20% of pregnant women are affected by this condition. Any form of prenatal stress felt by the mother can have negative effects on various aspects of fetal development,which can cause harm to the mother and child. Even after birth,a child born from a depressed or stressed mother feels the affects. The child is less active and can also experience emotional distress. Antenatal depression can be caused by the stress and worry that pregnancy can bring,but at a more severe level. Other triggers include unplanned pregnancy,difficulty becoming pregnant,history of abuse,and economic or family situations.
