| Core Tip |
The impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on women’s mental health is currently undefined. We assessed anxiety, prenatal depression, and psychopathology in pregnant women by comparing a sample with data collected prior to COVID-19 with one post-COVID-19. The pre-COVID-19 sample scored higher on state anxiety than the post-COVID-19 group; the former reported more partner support, while the latter reported more multiple support. Results show that pregnant women did respond to COVID-19 threat and restriction with increased psychopathology, indicating the recruitment of inner resources, but modified their social support pattern. |
