Well-Being Among Pregnant Working Women in Denmark: Socioeconomic Predictors in a Cross-Sectional Study

Background: This study explores the well-being of pregnant working women in Denmark. Aim: To determine whether socioeconomic predictors influence well-being levels. Method: A cross-sectional design was used, with a convenience sample of 1,453 women with singleton pregnancies aged 18–36 completing baseline questionnaires from the PRECISE Occupational Cohort between January 2023 and May 2024. Multiple logistic regression assessed associations between education, employment, language and cohabitation, and well-being measured by the WHO-5 index. Reporting of this study followed the STROBE guidelines. Findings: One in four participants had poor well-being (WHO-5 <50). No significant associations were found between socioeconomic predictors and well-being, though non-significant trends suggested higher odds of poor well-being among highly educated and self-employed women. Conclusion: Poor well-being was as prevalent as in the general population. While socioeconomic predictors were not clearly linked to well-being, further research is needed to identify other determinants among pregnant women.
