      ab: Introduction: Recent researches show us the given social support to the mother during pregnancy, birth and in postpartum peroid effects positively the adaptation to the role of motherhood, increases sensitivity to the baby and helps to relations with the relatives. Methods: This study was conducted between 29.06.2015 and 01.06.2016 to determine the effect of social support on pregnancy and postpartum depression. 127 out of 190 pregnant women who registered to the Sofular Family Health Center were included in this study. Questionnaires related to the pregnancy and postpartum period, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were used to collect data. The data were evaluated by SPSS 21.0 statistical software. Results: Results were evaluated at 95 % confidence interval and p<0.05 significance level. It was determined that the mean score of Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale was 8,07±6,42, its rate was 23.6% and the mean score of Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support was 60,276 ± 15,721. A significant correlation between the mean score of the social support perceived from the family and the women's age and education levels (p<0.05).In the correlation analysis between perceived social support and depression total scores, a significant negative correlation was found (r=-0,260; p=0,003<0,05), and it was observed that as the total perceived social support score increased, the depression score decreased. Discussion: At the end of this study, it was observed that when the perception of social support is increased the perception of depression is decreased. Early diagnosis of psychological problems that may occur during pregnancy and postpartum period by midwives, will prevent the depression of pregnancy and postpartum period and will reduce the perception of depression. This will lead to the development of a healthy mother, healthy family and healthy society.
