However, there is limited research on prenatal mental health in Bangladesh.

A total of 227 pregnant women were interviewed with a structured interview, including sociodemographic characteristics, physiological condition, family support, intimate partner violence, obstetric history, and mental health outcomes. Depression and anxiety were measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the State\u2010Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

Significant associations were observed between depression and factors such as occupation, relationship with husband, and forced sex. Additionally, anxiety was significantly associated with gestational age. Regression analysis revealed that housewives were less likely to experience depression (AOR\u2009=\u20090.17 [95% CI: 0.05\u20130.55],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010value\u2009=\u20090.003), while participants who experienced forceful sex were at higher risk (AOR\u2009=\u20094.39 [95% CI: 0.97\u201319.82],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010value\u2009=\u20090.0542).
