Abstract

A study was carried out to determine the association between unintended pregnancy and pre- and postpartum depression in 163 women in Kermanshah city, Islamic Republic of Iran. Using the self-administered Beck Depression Inventory for educated women and a special interview for illiterate women, 105 intended and 58 unintended pregnancies were studied. Of the 58 women with unintended pregnancy, 43% reported attempting to abort the fetus. Depression at 37 weeks' gestation was slightly higher in the unintended than the intended pregnancy group (53.4% versus 41.0%; relative risk = 1.3) and depression 10 days postpartum was much higher in the unintended group (48.7% versus 25.6%; relative risk = 1.9). Screening for depression is recommended for pregnant women with unintended pregnancy.
