Postnatal depression in correlation with type of birth

[Year12student]

I'm currently in year 12 and doing an extended project qualification (epq) to see if there is a correlation between type of birth and risk of postnatal depression. Anyone willing to complete this survey, I would be extremely grateful!!

I shall do it first thing in the morning, I suffered PND and had a traumatic birth.

Great subject for some research, I think it's a very important subject.

I think you need to adjust your answer options, or make the question allow multiple answers - for example in question 5 it's possible to have a birth that's a vaginal water birth at home, which is three separate answers in the survey.

Thank you! I agree, I got lazy though and decided to put other as there are so many possibilities!

Thank you so much!!

I think Question 7 should have an additional option. I feel the type of delivery I had didn't have any impact on the likelihood of developing PND and I would have liked to have been able to select 'No impact' rather than 'Don't know'.

And I agree with a pp that some questions need to be able to have multiple answers. I wanted to tick natural vaginal birth & home birth & couldn't do both.

Done! Have had 2 traumatic births, and pnd twice. This is a very interesting topic.

Thank you so much!

Will alter question 7, thank you!

I would be interested to look into this also. I have often thought about c-section and increased PND. Although I was thinking from the recovery time angle.

Done! Good luck.

Completed but I went for other instead of assisted vaginal delivery despite having forceps used on me. I think there are varying degrees of forcep use and I classed mine as other as it was in a full theatre with spinal, epidural, surgical team on standby type thing. That may be wrong but it's how I feel!

I also think that it would be worth considering whether there were reoccurrences when other births were different. My second was ELCS and I had no mental health issues in regards to that, only what was left over from the first!

I entered the info regarding the birth that preceded the PND, but have had another, completely different, birth story.

Thank you so much!

That's perfect, thank you so much'!

Thank you for your feedback, I really appreciate it!
