Researchers studied nearly 800 pregnant women. Forty-four percent of them had depressive symptoms and twice the risk of delivering a baby before 37 weeks of gestation. Researchers are still trying to determine the exact link between depression and early delivery.

The study is published in the January issue of Human Reproduction.
