In May this year, UNICEF estimated that 116 million women would give birth in the nine months since COVID-19 was recognised. Pregnant women, in particular, are especially vulnerable to mental health problems during this time.

A survey of 7,500 pregnant and postpartum women, over 10 days, across 68 countries conducted by the International Registry of Coronavirus Exposure in Pregnancy (IRCEP) showed that a staggering 70% of women reported clinically significant depression or anxiety, and over 40% screened positive for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

In an effort to find effective ways to improve maternal mental wellness, A*STAR Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences (SICS) together with Nestlé are running a study to investigate the role of probiotics in pregnancy and how they can help put mothers-to-be in a better mood.
