“…It is worth noting that the frequency of the risk of PPD symptoms in this study may be higher due to the fact that 2/3 of the studied sample were mothers of preterm babies. Both preterm birth and preterm birthrelated low birth weight, poor health of the baby and low Apgar scores, are scientifically reported as risk factors for PPD symptoms [31,32].…”

Introduction andObjective. Scientific studies report that the risk of symptoms of postpartum depression (PPD) can significantly reduce breastfeeding time. It has not yet been shown whether there is a difference in cortisol levels in breast milk and serum cortisol levels in women at risk of PPD but without symptoms. The aim of the study was assessment of the levels of cortisol in breast milk and levels of serum cortisol in women at risk of PPD four weeks after birth. Materials and method. The study included 75 women who were recruited at a University Hospital and via social media. The proper study was conducted in the fourth week after delivery. The research tool used was The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Assessment of cortisol levels in breast milk was performed with the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay CORTISOL saliva ELISA DiaMetra. Blood analysis was conducted in an ALAB Laboratory, one of a nationwide network of specialis laboratories. Results. The prevalence of the risk of PPD symptoms in the study sample was estimated at 28% in EPDS. The risk of PPD symptoms does not differentiate between cortisol levels in breast milk and serum cortisol levels (p>0.05). A correlation was shown between the level of cortisol in breast milk and in the blood serum of the study sample (p<0.03). Conclusions. The study indicates that the risk of PPD symptoms does not differentiate between serum cortisol levels and cortisol levels in breast milk. The level of cortisol in breast milk reflects the level of cortisol in the blood serum of the subjects.

Introduction. Childbirth and its course have a significant impact on a woman’s mental functioning during the postpartum period and motherhood. The mother’s mental state affects not only her child’s life and health, but also the functioning of the entire family. The literature distinguishes several types of mental disorders that occur in the postpartum period, including postpartum depression. Aim. This study aims to determine the incidence of mood disorders in women up to 6 months postpartum. Material and methods. The research was carried out using a standardized questionnaire – the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) – designed to determine the severity of mood disorders in the postpartum period in women at the University Hospital in Zielona Góra. The survey was conducted among 100 women aged from 17 to 43. Results. The results of the analysis showed that in women who noticed mood disorders during pregnancy (n=11, i.e. 11% of the total and n=10, i.e. 10% of the total), there is a possibility of postpartum depressive disorders (score ≥12 points on the ESDP scale) (p=0.0006). Respondents who answered “Definitely yes”, accounted for 42.31% of women who scored ≥12 points on the ESDP scale, and those who answered “Rather yes”, accounted for 38.46%. Conclusion. Respondents, whose pregnancy ended in a physiological delivery (forces of nature), feel more satisfied with childbirth than the other respondents (n=29 – definitely yes; n=24 – rather yes). In women whose pregnancy ended in caesarean section, the level of dissatisfaction with childbirth (n=9 – rather not) or less satisfaction (n=3 – definitely not) was higher than in the other women (p=0.0124). Keywords: depression, childbirth, depression scale
