All results reported as OR (95% CI)

Model 1 is unadjusted

Model 2 adjusted for maternal age and use of fertility advice or treatment

Model 3 adjusted for variables in model 2 plus marital status, race/ethnicity, education, and poverty status

Model 4 adjusted for variables in model 3 plus mode of delivery, infant hospitalization after birth, and birth experience

Model 5 adjusted for variables in model 4 plus postpartum mental health visits, history of anxiety or depression, maternal stress, and social support
