Summary
Familial, financial, and vocational changes, all of which can cause emotional distress in women, low-income women who are more likely to face stress due to a lack of resources [1]Pregnancy is regarded as a positive emotional condition. The goal of this study was to use screening and clinical diagnostic interviews to estimate the frequency of common mental illnesses in the antepartum period and to identify the obstetrical and socioeconomic risk factors associated with them [4] During this stage of life, a pregnant woman goes through physiological and psychological changes, and anxiety is a frequent mental ailment [5]. Previous studies on prenatal anxiety found that pregnancy-specific worries, rather than general anxiety, are the true predictors of poor labour outcomes. These researchers suggested that estimating pregnancy-specific anxiety could help with risk identification and minimization [6].
