Mothers who unemployed have a risk of experiencing postpartum blues 1.65 times compared to employed, but these were not statistically significant (OR= 1.65; 95% CI= 0.40 to 6.77; p= 0.727). Family in­come level associated with postpartum blues. Mothers with low to moderate family income reduced postpartum blues by 0.73 times compared to mothers with high income levels, but these were not statistically significant (OR= 0.73; 95%CI= 0.19 to 2.80; p= 0.908).
