*

N = 129 except for DAS, where N = 118 and Hobel, where N = 128

DAS: Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Higher values indicate greater satisfaction)

MAAS: Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (Higher values indicate stronger attachment)

EPDS: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (Higher values indicate more depressive symptoms)

Hobel: Hobel Risk Assessment for Prematurity (Higher values indicate greater risk for maternal or fetal demise)

Weeks: Estimated gestational age at admission (birth at 37 weeks considered premature)

Parity: Number of previous live births
