GDM pregnant women with anxiety and depression were more likely to have adverse outcomes in terms of blood
glucose during pregnancy, delivery mode, and maternal and infant outcomes. The diagnosis of gestational diabetes
and various factors affecting pregnant women with GDM themselves play a role. As a result, with the increase in
the incidence of GDM, the psychological problems of GDM patients also deserve attention. Active and effective
psychological intervention measures should be taken to help GDM pregnant women pass the pregnancy period
safely and achieve better pregnancy outcomes.
