The lactation volume of pregnant women during hospitalization was continuously monitored by investigation method. The lactation volume of pregnant women with anxiety and depression symptoms (study group) and without anxiety and depression symptoms (control group) were compared, and the factors of anxiety and depression were analyzed.

There was significant difference in daily milk yield between the study group and the control group (
t=8.325,
P<0.05). There was a certain correlation between the score of anxiety scale and the score of depression scale, and there was a negative correlation between the degree of anxiety and depression and the amount of lactation. The correlation coefficient were -0.977 and -0.972,
P=0.000; neonatal survival status is the main factor affecting the level of anxiety and depression, accounting for 96.92%, followed by economic pressure, accounting for 87.69%. Poor medical service was the lowest factor affecting maternal anxiety and depression, accounting for 29.23%.
