Pregnancy is a dynamic time during which a woman's emotional state may undergo extensive change. There have been conflicting views about the magnitude of emotional turmoil that occurs during pregnancy. Some investigators suggest that pregnancy is a time of particularly good psychological adjustment; others have reported high levels of psychological challenge.
Our study aimed to compare the prevalence and correlates of depression in the first and third trimesters of pregnancy and to determine the relationship between quality of life and depressive disorder.

A descriptive, comparative study of depressive disorder and the quality of life between first- and third-trimester pregnant women (confirmed through a pregnancy test and an abdominopelvic ultrasound).
For each trimester, 285 participants were recruited. The prevalence of depression among the pregnant women who participated in the study was 7.2%. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the prevalence of depression was 30 (10.5%), while it was 11 (3.9%) in the third trimester of pregnancy. Collectively, the relationship between depression and QoL was significant in the overall domain, satisfaction with general health domain ( = 2.27; = 0.03), psychological domain ( = 2.74; = 0.010, and environmental domain ( = 4.57; ≤ 0.01).
Our study also highlights the need to pay closer attention to the psychological well-being and quality of life of all pregnant women and not just on their physical health and the baby's well-being.
孕期是一个动态时期，在此期间女性的情绪状态可能会发生广泛变化。关于孕期出现的情绪波动程度存在相互矛盾的观点。一些研究者认为孕期是心理调适特别良好的时期；另一些人则报告了高水平的心理挑战。
我们的研究旨在比较孕期头三个月和末三个月抑郁症的患病率及其相关因素，并确定生活质量与抑郁症之间的关系。

对孕期头三个月和末三个月的孕妇（通过妊娠试验和腹部盆腔超声确诊）的抑郁症及生活质量进行描述性比较研究。
每个孕期招募了285名参与者。参与研究的孕妇中抑郁症的患病率为7.2%。在孕期头三个月，抑郁症患病率为30例（10.5%），而在孕期末三个月为11例（3.9%）。总体而言，抑郁症与生活质量之间的关系在整体领域、对总体健康领域的满意度（ = 2.27； = 0.03）、心理领域（ = 2.74； = 0.010）和环境领域（ = 4.57； ≤ 0.01）均具有显著性。
我们的研究还强调需要更加关注所有孕妇的心理健康和生活质量，而不仅仅是她们的身体健康和胎儿的健康。
