While the association between pregnancy-related problems and postpartum depression has been reported, to the researchers’ knowledge, the majority of studies have focused on postpartum depression after normal pregnancy and there are no specific data on the onset of postpartum depression and anxiety following high-risk pregnancy. Around one third of all pregnancies are classified as high-risk pregnancies, i.e. involve medical problems of mother before pregnancy, medical complications due to pregnancy, obstetrical complications and fetal problems. Women with current medical conditions or who have an abnormality in the fetus or the placenta that could compromise the health of mother or child are defined as having high-risk pregnancies (Levy-Shiff et al, 2002; Gray, 2006).
