Abstract
Up to 20% of women meet criteria for major depressive disorder (MDD) during pregnancy, and even more report depressive symptomology. Maternal depression has been associated with poor health outcomes including pre-eclampsia, pre-term labor, and low infant birth weight. To date there are few studies looking at effects of antenatal depression on infant behavior after the neonatal period. Previous studies have shown that maternal depression during pregnancy (antenatal depression) is associated with increased fetal activity and less optimal scores on infant behavioral assessments within the first week of life. Given the paucity of literature on the topic, the current aims were to examine the effects of antenatal depression on infant motor activity and toy manipulation both at 6 months of age.
