Figure 1:

Frequency distribution of deaths by suicide in Ontario among pregnant and postpartum women (1994–2008), by pregnancy trimester and postpartum quarter. For pregnant women, mean gestational age at the time of death by suicide was 21.0 (standard deviation [SD] 10.3) weeks, and median gestational age was 23.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 12–29) weeks. For postpartum women, the mean postpartum age at the time of death by suicide was 29.8 (SD 14.5) weeks, and median postpartum age was 29 (IQR 18–45) weeks. Data values below 6 are considered nonreportable, to avoid the possibility of identifying specific individuals; these are reported here as “< 6”.
