摘要
Objective: To identify the frequency of depressive symptoms during pregnancy and verify their association with sociodemographic, obstetric and health variables. Methods: A longitudinal study conducted with 272 pregnant women in 12 health units in the city of Sao Paulo. Data were obtained using a form for the independent variables, and the Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale applied at the 20th, 28th and 36th gestational weeks. A model of generalized estimating equations was used to evaluate the associated factors and odds ratio. Results: The frequency of depressive symptoms was 27.2%, 21.7% and 25.4%. Higher educational level, planned pregnancy and continuity of gestation were protective factors. Suffering or having suffered psychological violence was an independent risk factor of the gestational period. Conclusion: The frequency of depressive symptoms during pregnancy was high. The associated factors were higher educational level, planned pregnancy, continuity of pregnancy, and suffering or having suffered psychological violence.
