Abstract: Early life negative stress can result in altered stress responsiveness later in life. This current study relates to the role of this stress vulnerability on the period around pregnancy. The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between self-reported negative stress in early life and a postpartum onset/episode of Bipolar I Disorder (BDI).\t\n\nBased on the results of the current study, self-reported negative stress in early life is associated with a BDI onset before the first pregnancy. \n\nBased on the results of the current study, self-reported negative stress in early life does not seem to be associated with the occurrence of a postpartum episode
