Adverse Childhood Experiences and Antenatal Depression: The Mediating Role of Social Support
The findings of this study suggest that ACEs have a pervasive impact on antenatal depression. Early intervention to prevent ACEs as well as improvements to the availability of social support for pregnant women should be provided to prevent antenatal depression, which will in turn improve fetal growth and development.
