Abstract

SummaryA sample of 55 primigravidae were interviewed during pregnancy and the early postpartum months. Using precise definitions for grades of depressive conditions, 84 per cent reported the blues in hospital. 71 per cent an anxiety state on going home with the baby. 33 per cent a depressed mood and 24 per cent depression with symptoms. Both the blues and depression with symptoms appeared to be associated with certain facets of birth management, while depression was more likely in women who reported little or no previous contact with babies. The mother's current social state was related to a depressed mood. and aspects of social vulnerability made the occurrence of postpartum depression more likely

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
