: Approval for the study was received from the Icelandic National Bioethics Committee (ref. no. 05-107-S1) and the Icelandic Data Protection Authority (ref. no. S2589). When pregnant women attended the antenatal clinics at the beginning of their pregnancy (weeks 12–16), they received information about the study from the midwives, who also invited them to participate. If the women agreed to participate they signed an informed consent. Parental consent was required for women under the age of 18. If the women were in need of psychiatric treatment, they were referred to appropriate treatment at the Mental Health Services at Landspitali–The National University Hospital of Iceland.
