Results Anxiety rate and depression rate of pregnant women in Jianyang city were 5.3% and 5.6% respectively. There was a negative correlation between anxiety, depression and social support (P<0.05). Absence of prenatal examination (OR=4.554, 95% CI: 1.063-19.510) was a risk factor for anxiety among pregnant women in Jianyang City. Late pregnancy (OR=5.381, 95% CI: 1.422-20.363) and medium degree of social support (OR=4.150, 95% CI: 1.198-14.375) were risk factors for depression among pregnant women in Jianyang City. Junior high school (OR=0.015, 95% CI: 0.001-0.275), high school or technical secondary school (OR=0.004, 95% CI: 0.001-0.128), junior college or above (OR=0.053, 95% CI: 0.003-0.851) were protective factors for depression.
