Abstract  【Objective】To explore the correlation between perinatal depression and newborn birth weight in overweight and obese pregnant women. 【Methods】 A total of 600 overweight and obese pregnant women admitted to Local maternal and child health care facility from October 2019 to January 2022 were selected as the study subjects. The Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale(EPDS) score was used to evaluate the depression status of pregnant women in the later stage of pregnancy. Based on the evaluation results, patients were divided into a control group(EPDS score<13 points, n=418) and an observation group(EPDS score ≥ 13 points, n=182). General information questionnaires were distributed to pregnant women and newborns at the time of admission, delivery, and discharge. General information was collected from both groups of pregnant women and newborns. The influencing factors of newborn birth weight and the correlation between perinatal depression in overweight and obese pregnant women and newborn birth weight were analyzed. 【Results】The birth weight of newborns in the observation group was greater than that in the control group, and the EPDS score of pregnant women was higher than that in the control group, with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in birth length and head circumference between the two groups of newborns(P>0.05). The birth weight of newborns was related to the age, educational level, monthly family income, BMI of pregnant women, weight gain during pregnancy, gestational age, and gender of newborns(P<0.05), while feeding methods were not related to the birth weight of newborns(P>0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between perinatal depression in overweight and obese pregnant women and newborn birth weight(r=0.227, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】The occurrence of perinatal depression in overweight and obese pregnant women has a certain impact on newborn birth weight, and the degree of depression is positively correlated with newborn birth weight. Therefore, early intervention should be carried out for perinatal depression in pregnant and postpartum women in a timely manner.
