We aimed at investigating a wide range of complications during pregnancy, at delivery, and at the early postpartum period as determinants of postpartum depression (PPD) at 8 weeks postpartum.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S2045796016001062_sec_a2\" sec-type=\"methods\"><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 1037 women who enrolled in the Rhea mother\u2013child cohort in Crete, Greece participated in the present study. Information on pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum complications was obtained from clinical records or by questionnaires. Postpartum depressive symptoms were assessed at 8 weeks postpartum using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Multivariable linear and logistic regression models were fit to estimate the association between pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum complications and maternal depressive symptoms, adjusting also for potential confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S2045796016001062_sec_a3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of women with probable depression (EPDS score \u2265 13) was 13.6% at 8 weeks postpartum.

Sleep patterns during pregnancy, such as sleep deprivation (OR = 3.57, 95% CI: 1.91, 6.67) and snoring (OR = 1.81, 95% CI: 1.11, 2.93), and breastfeeding duration less than 2 months (OR = 1.77, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.64) were significantly associated with increase in the odds for PPD. Some other complications, such as unplanned pregnancy and hospitalisation during pregnancy were also associated with EPDS score, but these associations were explained by socio-demographic characteristics of the mother.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S2045796016001062_sec_a4\" sec-type=\"conclusion\"><jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title><jats:p>We found that several pregnancy, perinatal and postpartum complications may have an adverse effect on maternal mood at the early postpartum period.
