A review of forty-seven suicides in women of child-bearing age revealed that two women were pregnant, two were within the first year post-partum and two falsely believed themselves pregnant. The search revealed two additional pregnancy-associated suicides which had not been reported as suicide. Previous studies asserting that pregnancy protects against suicide would seem to be challenged by these data. Pregnancy-related suicides are similar to each other and to the literary suicide of Hedda Gabler and fit into a continuum of pregnancy-related disorders.
一项针对育龄女性47起自杀事件的回顾显示，其中两名女性处于孕期，两名处于产后第一年，还有两名误以为自己怀孕。此次调查还发现另外两起与怀孕相关的自杀事件未被报告为自杀。先前声称怀孕可预防自杀的研究似乎受到了这些数据的挑战。与怀孕相关的自杀事件彼此相似，也与易卜生笔下的《海达·高布乐》中的文学性自杀相似，属于与怀孕相关的一系列病症。
