We aimed to determine if and to what extent a woman’s exposure to stressful life events were associated with impaired maternal bonding by using a sample of high-income Italian women. In the second day postpartum, 425 healthy puerperae responded to Life Experiences Survey (LES), Mother-to-Infant Bonding Scale (MBS), and to the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Analysis revealed that the stressful life events scored by LES were a significantly predictor of impaired bonding as measured by MIBS ( β  = 0.04;  t  = 3.45;  p  &lt; .001) and of postpartum depression symptoms as measured by EPDS total score ( β  = 0.32;  t  = 4.86;  p  &lt; .001) as well as its subscales  Anhedonia  ( β  = 0.059;  t  = 4.99;  p  &lt; .001),  Anxiety  ( β  = 0.03;  t  = 5.72;  p  &lt; .001), and  Depression  ( β  = 0.05;  t  = 6.53;  p  &lt; .001). Moreover, the partial correlation between EPDS total score and MIBS accounting for LES positive and negative scores was statistically significant ( r  = 0.208;  n  = 332;  p  &lt; .001). The findings emphasize the importance of identifying mothers with negative experiences toward pregnancy and delivery to address possible interventions beyond hospital-based antenatal care to improve bonding and maternal mental outcomes.
