Abstract

Maternity is often a moment in a woman's life that brings with it a unique feeling of happiness, serenity and fulfillment; Although, there is also a percentage of women who are not able to live with these positive feelings because they suffer from anxiety and/or depression.

Pregnancy and postpartum are periods that can be stressful for women, who may be worried about the health of the fetus or the care of the newborn, some may be afraid of childbirth or the change in life that they will undergo; but, in addition to the stressful situations that can occur, the hormonal change suffered by pregnant women is also important.
