Interaction of birth outcomes and postpartum mental health

Participating journal: BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
This Collection aims to enhance our understanding of the complex interplay between childbirth experiences and maternal mental well-being. The relationship between birth outcomes and postpartum mental health is crucial for improving maternal and infant well-being. Recent research shows that neonatal issues, maternal complications, and childbirth experiences can significantly impact postpartum conditions like depression and anxiety, highlighting the need for integrated care that addresses both physical and psychological aspects of childbirth.
