New study finds significant suicide risk for women who miscarry after 20 weeks or lose a baby during infancy

Findings from the first study to look at postpartum suicide risks, published in the September issue of the journal Pediatrics: Mothers whose babies die at birth or during infancy are at increased risk for suicide attempts. The study found that women who suffered a fetal death after 20 weeks gestation or lost their babies in infancy had a threefold increase in the risk for committing suicide.

Additional findings: Other complications, such as problems during labor and delivery or having a Cesarean section, did not appear to affect a new mother's suicide risk.

This study was funded by a grant from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and conducted by a team from the Harborview Injury Prevention and Research Center in Washington state. It was prompted by the death of Seattle wife and mother Carol Soukakos, who suffered severe postpartum depression after the birth of her son and committed suicide in 2002. Her husband has become a tireless advocate for postpartum mental health in Washington, working closely on the state's new "Speak Up When You're Down" campaign.

Among the research team's recommendations based on the data from this study: Women who experience an infant death should receive careful monitoring and mental health services in the postpartum year.
