Abstract
Our study provides robust evidence that perineal pain 4-6 weeks postpartum is associated with depressive symptoms 4-6 weeks and 6 months postpartum; pain at 3-5 days postpartum predicts depressive symptoms at 3 months postpartum; and previous postnatal depressive symptoms, particularly depressive symptoms 3-5 days postpartum, predict depressive symptoms during the 6-month postpartum period.
