This prospective study aimed to compare anxiety, depression, and cognitive function between women with twin and singleton pregnancies.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A total of 160 pregnant women were recruited, including 104 with singleton and 56 with twin pregnancies. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI-S), depression using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) test.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Women with twin pregnancies had significantly higher anxiety levels and a higher rate of severe anxiety, with over 50% scoring in the severe anxiety range. Their mean cognitive function scores were significantly lower compared to women with singleton pregnancies. However, depression scores were similar between the two groups. These differences in anxiety and cognitive function remained significant after adjusting for maternal age, BMI, use of psychiatric medications, education level, nulliparity, pregnancy complications, and multifetal gestation.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Women with twin pregnancies experience greater psychological burden and cognitive decline compared to those with singleton pregnancies.

Since changes in variability may affect the interpretation of antenatal testing, clinicians should be aware of those medications that may impair effective testing.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p>A retrospective observational cohort study was performed to compare nonstress test (NST) parameters of fetuses exposed to SSRIs with unexposed fetuses at 36 weeks gestation. Subjects were excluded if they had multiple gestations, fetal anomalies including growth restriction, illicit substance use or use of other psychotropic medications.
