Background:
- Internalizing problems during pregnancy impact maternal well-being and child development.

Purpose of the Study:
- To examine the relationship between maternal internalizing problems and correlates such as marital satisfaction and co-parenting during pregnancy with a second child.
Main Methods:
- The study involved 51 mothers in their third trimester of pregnancy with their second child.
- Data on maternal depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms were collected via questionnaires during home visits.
Main Results:
- Co-parenting and marital satisfaction were significantly associated with maternal internalizing outcomes.
- Co-parenting predicted depression and stress, while marital satisfaction predicted anxiety, even when controlling for the other factor.
Conclusions:
- Prenatal internalizing problems should be studied distinctly based on their specific symptoms.
- Findings can inform the development of targeted interventions to improve maternal psychological health during pregnancy.
