If a pregnant women is having depression it will certainly affect her child. The depression will affect the baby and the mother, both. Also, I f the mother is depressed during the pregnancy then she is more like to have post-pregnancy depression. If a women is pregnant and if she is diagnosed as having depression, then it is better for her to go to a counsellor. The counsellor can help the woman to understand and manage her anxiety during pregnancy and after delivery.
