Instead, fathers\u2019\/non-birthing parents\u2019 higher depressive symptoms at 6\u00a0months postpartum was associated with their own lower sexual satisfaction at 6\u00a0months postpartum. Mothers\u2019\/birthing parents\u2019 higher CB-PTSD symptoms at 8\u00a0weeks postpartum predicted their own higher postpartum sexual function problems at 6\u00a0months postpartum, even when controlling for postpartum depression.
