The COVID-19 pandemic, with its far-reaching influence on daily life, constituted a highly stressful experience for many people worldwide, jeopardizing individuals' mental health, particularly in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. While growing body of evidence links prenatal maternal stress to biological and developmental alterations offspring, the specific impact exposure pandemic-related (PRS) infant development remains unclear. A comprehensive literature search was performed October 2023 according PRISMA guidelines, which yielded total 28 records. selected papers investigated vast range outcomes offspring large methodological variations. reviewed studies showed mixed results. Either direct associations between PRS during pregnancy temperament socio-emotional development, or indirect links, mediated by emerged most studies. Furthermore, associated epigenetic brain although were limited number. Collectively, findings contribute deeper understanding role early adverse exposures development.

Abstract For pregnant women, the COVID‐19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented stressors, including uncertainty regarding prenatal care and long‐term consequences of perinatal infection. However, few studies have examined role this adverse event on maternal wellbeing infant socioemotional development following initial wave when less stringent public health restrictions were place. The current study addressed these gaps literature by first comparing internalizing symptoms temperament collected after to equivalent measures a pre‐pandemic sample. Second, associations between pandemic‐related stress examined.

Abstract Perinatal mental health is fundamental to a healthy society. The aim of this study was describe the trajectories women’s posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms during perinatal period assess their association with child behavior problems at 12 months. We designed an observational longitudinal study. Women were recruited through social media posting Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic Italian national lockdown from April 8 May 4, 2020, and contacted again 6 months after expected delivery date, collecting PTSD scores each time. Child behaviors reported postpartum. Inclusion criteria residence in Italy, age over 18 years, fluency Italian. A total 327 mother-child dyads eligible for inclusion Clustering analysis suggested five groups trajectories: very low stable (VL) group, 2 decreasing time (one high (H-), one (L-)), positive increasing (H+), (L+)). H + H- clusters had significantly higher risks (+ 58% 76% H-, respectively) behavioral outcomes compared VL cluster, risk internalizing problems. Although many women below cut-off, we envision significant children mothers elevated pregnancy. Longitudinal modeling warranted sensitive two-generation detection.
