“…Unlike studies which have shown childhood abuse, and specifically childhood sexual abuse, to be associated with depression in the postpartum (Dennis and Vigod, 2013;Plaza et al, 2012), we did not find this in relation to PP. Our findings are consistent with those of previous studies which have reported no association between adverse life events in adulthood or in the 12 months prior to pregnancy and the onset of PP (Brockington et al, 1990;Dowlatshahi and Paykel, 1990;Marks et al, 1992).…”

“…Fourthly, it is possible that we did not find a significant association between childhood sexual abuse and PP due to lack of statistical power. Reassuringly however, based on published effect sizes in postpartum depression (Plaza et al, 2012) our sample size of 432 women (208 PP; 224 No PME) has >95% power to detect a between-group difference in the frequency of childhood sexual abuse.…”

“…History of childhood abuse, for example, has previously been associated with depression in the postpartum period (Dennis and Vigod, 2013;Plaza et al, 2012), but has not yet been investigated in relation to PP. Given that ACLEs may increase susceptibility to onset of BD (Fisher and Hosang, 2010) and be associated with a more severe illness course (Erten et al, 2014;Sala et al, 2014;Upthegrove et al, 2015), it is plausible that they could increase risk for episodes of PP in women who have BD.…”

“…Seven original research papers reported on the association of maternal history of CSA with postpartum depression (Robertson-Blackmore et al 2013) or depressive symptoms (Cohen et al 2002; Roberts et al 2004; Garabedian et al 2011; Plaza et al 2012; Dennis and Vigod 2013). For one study, postpartum information was obtained over email (Bonacquisti et al 2014; personal communication).…”

Purpose The objective of this review is to summarize the literature (and to the extent possible, report the magnitude and direction of the association) concerning history of CSA and depression or depressive symptoms among pregnant and postpartum women. Methods Publications were identified through literature searches of seven databases (PubMed, EMBASE, PyscINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, BIOSIS, and Science Direct) using keywords including “child abuse,” “depression,” “pregnancy,” “prenatal,” “pregnancy,” and “postpartum”. Results The literature search yielded seven eligible studies on the prenatal period and another seven studies on the postpartum period. All, but one prenatal study observed statistically significant positive associations of CSA with depression or depressive symptoms during pregnancy. Findings on the association of CSA with postpartum depression or depressive symptoms were inconsistent; pooled unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios were 1.82 (95% CI 0.92, 3.60) and 1.20 (95% CI 0.81, 1.76). Conclusions In sum, findings suggest a positive association of history of CSA with depression and depressive symptoms in the prenatal period. Findings on the postpartum period were inconsistent. Clinical and public health implications of evidence from the available literature are discussed, as are desirable study design characteristics of future research.

“…Women with a history of childhood abuse also have a greater risk for postpartum thyroid dysfunction (Plaza et al 2012). Similarly, children of mothers who have been abused show hormonal changes in the HPA axis (Brand et al 2010) and are at greater risk for low birth weight (Gavin et al 2011).…”

The objective of this paper is to examine the association between maternal lifetime abuse and perinatal depressive symptoms. Papers included in this review were identified through electronic searches of the following databases: Pubmed Medline and Ovid, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library. Each database was searched from its start date through 1 September 2011. Keywords such as "postpartum," "perinatal," "prenatal," "depression," "violence," "child abuse," and "partner abuse" were included in the purview of MeSH terms. Studies that examined the association between maternal lifetime abuse and perinatal depression were included. A total of 545 studies were included in the initial screening. Forty-three articles met criteria for inclusion and were incorporated in this review. Quality of articles was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa-Scale (NOS). This systematic review indicates a positive association between maternal lifetime abuse and depressive symptoms in the perinatal period.
