About 16 percent of women whose partners were deployed during their entire pregnancy struggled with postpartum depression, compared to 6 percent of women whose partners were not deployed. Those women were also more likely to give birth before they reached full term, a risk of anxiety and stress during pregnancy, researchers write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"http:\/\/americanpregnancy.org\/pregnancy-health\/depression-during-pregnancy\/\" target=\"_blank\">American Pregnancy Association<\/a> defines depression during pregnancy as a mood disorder, or biological illness that involves changes in brain chemistry, similar to clinical depression. Hormone changes, exacerbated by difficult life situations, can cause expectant mothers to be depressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Left untreated, this can lead to poor nutrition, suicidal and other negative behaviors, which can cause premature birth and developmental problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In analyzing the American studies, the Veterans and Families Institute researchers found that in addition to depression, deployment also increased the pregnant spouse\u2019s chances of anxiety, sleep disorders and adjustment disorders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe evidence suggests that social support is an important protective factor for military spouses during the perinatal period,\u201d they write. \u201cSupport tailored to the needs of military spouses rather than generic perinatal support may be advantageous.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. studies on military spouses across
