Methods: a transversal study was performed with 113 women, on the tenth day of puerperium. The following instruments were used: Pitt Scale (1968), Stein (1980), Inventory for stressful life events by Holmes & Rahe (1967), and a questionnaire with sociodemographic and obstetric data. Results: the prevalence of MB was 32.7% according to the Stein scale. In the univariated analysis, civil status and tobacco use were associated with MB. Legally married women and nonsmokers showed a risk approximately 4 times lower of experiencing the problem. Conclusions: MB was very prevalent in this sample. Obstetricians must be aware of this condition which may be associated with postpartum depression.}, number={2}, journal={The Spanish Journal of Psychology}, author={Faisal-cury, Alexandre and Rossi Menezes, Paulo and A Tedesco, Jose Júlio and Kahalle, Soubhi and Zugaib, Marcelo}, year={2008}, month={Jan.}, pages={593–599} }
