The Correlation Between Prelabor Analgesic Plan and Actual Labor Analgesia With Satisfaction, Postpartum Depression, and Breast Feeding Success
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Questionarie for Depression, Postpartum. Completed, enrolled 1,954 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this study the investigators would like to evaluate how prelabor analgesic plan and actual labor analgesia effects the labor satisfaction, breastfeeding success, and whether or not it reduces postpartum depression. Although postpartum depression has been researched and reviewed, there is little information on how satisfaction during labor affects postpartum outcomes. The relationship between epidural analgesia is also complex, and there has yet to be found a valid correlation between the two parameters. In addition although an attempt has been made to evaluate relationship between breastfeeding and epidural analgesia, results are unclear and further research is needed.
