Background:Between 10% and 25% of expectant women have anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. Increased preterm birth, postpartum depression, and behavioural issues in children are all linked to elevated symptoms of anxiety and depression. The current COVID-19 pandemic is an unique stressor that could have broad implications for pregnancy and beyond. Depression and anxiety raise the likelihood of preterm birth, delay the mother-fetus relationship, and slow down the newborn's cognitive development. In order to manage the COVID-19 pandemic effectively, this should be kept in mind.The DASS-21 is a shorter version of the DASS-42 that consists of 21 items and three stress, depression, and anxiety subscales (7 questions for each subscale).
