Depression after pregnancy loss: the role of the presence of living children, the type of loss, multiple losses, the relationship quality, and coping strategies.

Pregnancy loss (PL) is a common, yet rarely examined public health issue associated with an increased risk of impaired mental health, particularly depression. Previous research shows childlessness to be a correlate of depression after PL. First studies also indicate associations of the type of loss, multiple losses, relationship quality, and coping strategies with depression after the loss of a pregnancy.
