Risk for postpartum depressive symptoms among pregnant women in a tertiary care setting with and without a positive COVID-19 test

No significant differences in the rates for postpartum depressive symptoms were observed among pregnant women with and without a positive COVID-19 test during pregnancy, suggesting that testing positive for COVID-19 during pregnancy was not associated with an increased risk for the development of depressive symptoms during the acute postpartum period. Overall rates of postpartum depression symptoms were low, perhaps owing to the higher socioeconomic status of the sample.
