Tables 2a, 2b, and 2c.

Multiple regression analyses of depressive symptoms postpartum (2a), attitudes toward maternity (2b), and mother-infant bonding (2c) against optimism at baseline and change in optimism between the baseline and 3-month timepoints. Covariates included in all models but not listed in tables except where noted include age, marital status, parity, planned pregnancy, education, employment, ethnicity, history of mood disorder, quality of partner relationship, and baby fussiness, all nonsignificant contributors except as noted.
