Abstract: Pregnancy can be a stressful time for many women. Australian Indigenous women of childbearing age (18–44 years) have been found to experience high or very high rates of psychological distress. However, few studies have examined the burden of or any associations between stressful life events, social disadvantage and psychological distress for pregnant Indigenous women in Australia.
