The COVID-19 pandemic presents a unique global stressor, in which the development of mental illness may be more likely for some populations. Pregnancy and postpartum represent times of heightened vulnerability to stress due to biological changes, increased neural plasticity, and unique physical and emotional demands. The aim of this study was to evaluate how pre-existing factors, including childhood adversity, race, ethnicity, education, and prior experiences of trauma impact development of PTSD symptoms, in response to the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic among perinatal people.
