Lili Jia, Wenfei Li, Yue Liu, Longqin Wang
Abstract
Early pregnancy complications, including miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and hyperemesis gravidarum, are common discomforts accounting for about 15% to 20% of all pregnancies. A proportion of women with early pregnancy complications will experience short- and long-term psychologic sequelae in the aftermath of pregnancy complications, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which are the most commonly reported psychologic reactions. This review will focus on the course and impact of these psychologic sequelae in early pregnancy complications, and the noninvasive interventions to improve mental health are also briefly discussed.
