Existing evidence suggests that OC symptoms commonly surge immediately postpartum followed by a gradual recovery. Yet how societal conditions, such as a widespread public health crisis, may affect this pattern remains unknown. Increased OC symptom prevalence in the general population during the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the pre-existing vulnerability of peripartum women suggests they may have been at particularly high risk for sustained symptoms.
