When loss speaks louder than depression: previous early pregnancy loss as a stronger predictor of mother–infant dyadic disruption

Key Points

• To explore the relationship between previous early pregnancy loss and mother-infant synchrony, independent of depression.
• Analysed mother-infant interactions
• Compared synchrony levels based on early pregnancy loss experiences
• Assessed current depressive severity
• Previous early pregnancy loss significantly affected mother-infant synchrony
• Current depression was not a significant factor in this relationship
• Further research with larger sample sizes is recommended
