Description

Tea Terzic and co-authors test how personality and partner closeness shape depression and anxiety around childbirth, in a 2025 study. Such symptoms strike about a fifth to a quarter of pregnancies worldwide. The team followed Slovenian women from late pregnancy to six weeks after birth.

A general sample of three hundred twenty-five women joined a clinical sample of forty-nine with diagnosed symptoms. High neuroticism tracked with worse symptoms in both groups, as did anxious attachment to the partner. Low openness and low extraversion also played a part. The treated group improved after birth relative to the general one. The authors urge screening that reads character and relationship strain.
