Abstract Objective: To investigate the changes of prospective memory components (EBPM and TBPM ) in postpartum women, and explore the effect of pregnancy on prospective memory. Methods: A neuropsychological test for prospective memory and related background tests. PM, RM test and general cognitive assessment were performed on 30 healthy women with proper age, education and 30 cases of primary parturients one week after natural childbirth. Results: The score of EBPM, TBPM in the parturient group was significantly lower than that of the normal control group (6.00±0.83, 5.33±0.76 vs. 7.60±0.67, 5.93±0.25, P<0.01). There was no significant difference in RM score between two groups (5.80±1.63, 5.53±0.57 vs. 5.83±1.53, 5.63±0.56, P>0.05). There was statistical significance in the damage index of EBPM and TBPM [0.00 (-0.17, 0.00) vs. -0.25 (-0.38, -0.13), P<0.05]. Conclusion: Postpartum women suffer from impaired memory, particularly from prospective memory, and more obvious damage is found in EBPM.
