The Prenatal Distress Measure: Adaptation of the Postpartum Distress Measure for a Prenatal Sample.

Author
Abstract
:

Pregnancy is a significant transition period for women that can be markedly stressful. The presence of elevated depressed mood and anxiety during pregnancy places mothers, fetuses, and neonates at greater risk for developing biological and psychological difficulties. It appears that no general measures of distress currently exist that can be used to screen for both prenatal anxiety and mood.
