Post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) following childbirth during the COVID-19 pandemic may unfold in a unique manner, relating to pandemic-related stressors and fears.Women who experience stressful pandemic-related events are not at heightened risk of developing PTSS within the six months following birth, but those reporting COVID-19 related fears are.Women who had medical complications during pregnancy, but not delivery, are at lower risk of developing subsequent PTSS, perhaps due to their ongoing contact with medical facilities despite the pandemic.
