Preventing Mood, Anxiety, and Trauma Symptoms After Cesarean Delivery
This study will look at whether a one-time session can help you prepare for delivery, reduce concerns about giving birth, and improve perinatal mood, anxiety, and trauma symptoms (PMATS).
Why this Research Matters
Mental health symptoms are some of the most common concerns during pregnancy and after giving birth. If these symptoms are not treated, they can affect both you and your baby. You may have emotional or physical health problems, miss work, or have money stress. These symptoms can also make it harder to bond with your baby and may increase your child’s risk of having mental health concerns later in life. In rare cases, untreated mental health can lead to thoughts of self-harm or causing harm to your baby. Researchers want to learn more about how to decrease and prevent these symptoms in people with high-risk pregnancies.
Who can Participate
You may be eligible to join this study if you are currently pregnant, have been admitted to the hospital for 3 days or longer because of problems with your pregnancy or your baby’s growth, and have a planned cesarean delivery.
