Background: Research exploring the relationship between personality and important
pregnancy outcomes (i.e., depressive symptoms, adjustment, and perceived social support) tends
to be cross-sectional, arguably due to the difficulties of conducting longitudinal and mental health
research in this population. The objective of this study is to use a web-based solution to longitudinally
explore how personality traits are associated, not only with the co-occurrence of these outcomes
but also with their evolution during pregnancy. Stability and change of these outcomes will also be
investigated. Methods: The sample included 85 pregnant women attending several medical centers in
Spain. The web-based assessment included sociodemographic and obstetric variables (ad hoc) and
personality (at the second trimester only), and outcomes at both the second and the third trimester
(i.e., depressive symptoms, adjustment, and perceived social support). Results: The results showed
that adjustment worsened from the second to the third trimester of pregnancy. Neuroticism (N),
low extraversion (E), and psychoticism (P) were cross-sectionally and longitudinally associated
with outcomes. In addition, N and, to a lesser extent P, uniquely contributed to the evolution of
these outcomes in the multivariate analyses, including autoregressions. Conclusion: Personality and
especially N and P should be evaluated early during pregnancy mental health screening. The use of
a web page appears to be a useful tool for that purpose. Technologies might also help disseminate
mental health prevention programs for these women, which would be especially recommended d for
those with a personality profile characterized by high N and P and, to a lesser extent, low E. [-]
