Practice Synthesis/Change -The prevalence of postpartum depression affects 10 to 15% of women annually (Daley et al., 2012), among prenatal women who participate in routine exercise regimens physical activity appears to be a protective factor (Anguilar-Cordero et al., 2019) and associated with decreased depression symptoms (Robledo-Colonia et al., 2012)
