In a prospective cohort study researchers evaluated 1,897 women 16 years of age and over.
They used telephone interview and labour and delivery records to determine the relationship between Postpartum depression and mode of delivery.
All the women in the study gave birth to a single live baby and were at term. About 1/3 were delivered by cesarean section.
Result: Researchers found that urinary incontinence almost doubled the risk for postpartum depresssion but the mode of delivery was not associated.
