depression or posttraumatic stress disorder during the first year postpartum in patients who
have no preexisting history of PTSD or PPD.
It is theorized that poor pain control during labor and cesarean delivery, non-elective
inductions, unplanned surgeries such as urgent/emergent cesarean delivery or operating room
management of postpartum hemorrhage, and opioid abuse/addiction are risk factors for
developing postpartum depression (PPD) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after
delivery. This study will, through questionnaires, interviews, and examination of the medical
record, seek to identify whether and how strongly such correlations exist during the first
year postpartum in patients who have no preexisting history of these conditions.
