Gaps remain in understanding longitudinal patterns and predictors of perinatal depressive symptoms in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to explore trajectories of depressive symptoms and associated factors from pregnancy through 9 months postpartum among Kenyan women. In this prospective cohort study, we analyzed data from the PrEP Implementation for Mothers in Antenatal Care study in which HIV-negative women were enrolled in pregnancy and followed through 9 months postpartum in 20 public sector maternal child health clinics in Western Kenya. Study nurses serially assessed depressive symptoms using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), intimate partner violence (IPV) with the Hurt, Insult, Threaten, Scream scale, and social support with the Medical Outcomes Study scale. Generalized estimating equations were used to identify correlates of moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms (MSD) (CESD-10 score ≥10) and group-based trajectory modelling (GBTM) identified patterns. Among 3555 women, median age was 24.0 years (IQR 21.0–28.7), 1330 (38%) had low social support, and 278 (8%) reported IPV in pregnancy. All participants (3555, 100%) were female sex and all (3555, 100%) were African Kenyan ethnicity. Prevalence of MSD was higher in pregnancy than postpartum (870/3555, 24.5% vs. 597/3555, 16.8%, p<0.001). Five patterns of depressive symptoms were identified; persistent MSD in pregnancy and postpartum (295, 8%), MSD in pregnancy which resolved postpartum (139, 4%), MSD that emerged postpartum (40, 1%), chronically mild symptoms (2,709, 76%), and no depressive symptoms (372, 10%). Emergent MSD was associated with older age. Emergent, persistent, and resolving MSD were associated with pregnancy IPV; persistent MSD and resolving MSD with low social support and high HIV risk (p<0.05). MSD risk was 1.5- to 2.1-times higher with IPV, low social support, and partner HIV-positive status (p<0.05); 23% of perinatal MSD cases were attributable to low social support. One third of women had perinatal MSD; 13% (474) had higher severity phenotypes of resolving, persistent and emerging MSD that may require tailored interventions. Perinatal women with comorbid psychosocial stressors such as IPV and prior pregnancy loss should be prioritized for mental health services that augment social support within routine MCH care.
