Pregnancy and labor are stress factors for every woman. A high majority of mothers can encounter difficulty in accommodating themselves to their new lives post child birth. Since knowing about their pregnancy, they have some worries and fears regarding themselves, the newborns, and the course of this period (1).Vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery are the two different ways and experience of childbirth. Mothers can have concerns and preferences related to the type of delivery due to their prior knowledge gained from health staff or their environment.According to the 2014 health statistics, the rate of cesarean delivery in Turkey is 51%, which is quite high. However, the rate recommended by the World Health Organization is 15% (2). The Turkish Ministry of Health is continually attempting to reduce the rate of cesarean delivery. Voluntary cesarean delivery was legally prohibited. As a part of these attempts, an education on obstetrical emergencies is provided to gynecologists and pregnancy schools aiming to prepare parturients for labor and inform expectant mothers on this issue (3-5).The rate of cesarean delivery, which affects a mothers physical and mental health states, without any compulsory medical indication, is increasing due to reasons, such as fear of giving birth; demand for not feeling pain; notion that perineal floor will be protected against trauma and the possibility of urinary incontinence will decrease correspondingly; prejudice that cesarean delivery is more healthy for the newborn; physician's preference and direction; being able to plan the time of labor; avoiding legal and social problems that can occur as a result of complicated labor; and lack of experience in interventional vaginal delivery (3-9).The physical results of cesarean delivery are the requirement of cesarean in subsequent pregnancies, placental adherence anomalies, cesarean scar pregnancy, anesthetic and surgical complications, more blood loss, neonatal prematurity and related problems, and respiratory problems (7, 8, 10).Has Delivery Method any Influence on the Postpartum Mood of the Mother? Postpartum SCL-90-R Objective: This study investigated the influence of the birth type to mothers earlypostpartum emotional emotional status Methods: SCL-90-R psychological test was performed in 50 patients who had cesarean section and 50 patients who had vaginal delivery. SCL-90-R consist of ten sub-scales: somatization, obsessive-compulsive disorder, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, hostility, phobic anxiety, paranoid ideation, psychoticism, and a category of additional items. The subscale scores of the scale are obtained by dividing the score values of the answers given to the relevant items by the number of items forming the subscale. The points of all 90 items (0-4 points per item) were added and divided by 90 to obtain the general score. Patients with scores above 1 were considered to have a psychological problem. All test subtitles and total test values were statistically compared with the Student's-t test and Mann-Whi...

“…When the length of the depression was considered, it was found that among the 10% of fathers who were diagnosed with depression six weeks postpartum, 54% suffered from depression at least for another six months [16]. Another study showed a similar regularity -60% of fathers with diagnosed postnatal depression 2 months postpartum suffered from it for another six months [17].…”

"And the third day I drowned in tears…". SummaryObjective. Among the factors responsible for the occurrence of paternal postnatal depression, the following are the most frequent: biological factors (mainly hormonal changes), mental pathogens (mainly a specific personal profile, including neuroticism, perfectionism and obsessiveness, mental disorders and problems such as fear, anxiety or mental disorders, marital coincidence of depression, a high level of stress experienced and lower quality of sexual life in the postpartum period), and finally -socioeconomic status (mainly poverty, young age of the spouse, his low level of education and structural problems in the family). However, it should be noticed that the subject of paternal postnatal depression is relatively rarely taken up in research or discussed in specialist magazines. Conclusions. However, due to the fact that postnatal depression, both in mothers and in fathers, greatly impacts the life of the child and the functioning of the family, it seems that this area of research is of crucial importance. The identification of risk factors of depression in new fathers may not only lead to a more profound understanding and description of the ethiology and symptomatology of paternal postnatal depression, but also to distinguishing a risk group in order to provide it with professional prophylactic and therapeutic care.

“…Quer o envolvimento excessivo, com o filho recém-nascido, que reduz substancialmente o tempo que dedica ao companheiro (Barnes, 2006), quer a hipercrítica constante da mãe relativa à falta de envolvimento paterno, fazem com que o pai se sinta excluído e abandonado, favorecendo o aparecimento de sintomatologia depressiva. Apesar dos homens serem menos propensos a desenvolver depressão pós-parto, ela também pode manifestar-se em figuras masculinas, apresentando sintomas físicos e psicológicos idênticos aos maternos (Bielawska-Batorowicz & Kossakowska-Petrycka 2006; Meighan, Davis, Thomas & Droppelman, 1999;Zelkowitz & Milet, 2001).…”

ResumoOs últimos estudos acerca da Depressão Pós-Parto (DPP) parecem concluir que o apoio do companheiro, têm um impacto muito favorável na forma como a nova mãe se adapta à maternidade. Descobrir de que forma os pais vivem a DPP das suas companheiras e a influência que isso tem no comportamento do casal e na relação com o bebé foi o nosso objectivo. Utilizamos a Grounded Theory e investigámos 7 casos de Depressão Pós-parto. Participaram 5 pais e 6 mães e 2 pediatras. Concluímos que: os companheiros das mulheres com depressão pós-parto referem alguma "perplexidade", face a esta situação inesperada que parece vir "reactivar vivências e conflitos anteriores" nomeadamente a relação precoce com as próprias mães e outros significativos. A "expectativa face à companheira" determina nuns casos a emergência de "ressentimento" e noutros uma "compreensão" que os leva a ajudá-las neste período difícil das suas vidas. Independentemente dos diferentes comportamentos adoptados pelos pais todos eles acabam por "assumir o papel maternal" numa tentativa de compensar a indisponibilidade materna. Parental behavior of the partners of post-partum depressed women AbstractRecent research concerning post-partum depression (PPD) seems to conclude that the partner's support has a very favorable impact in the way the new mother adapts to mothering. Our objective was to investigate how fathers experience the PPD of their partners and its influence on the couple behavior and on the relationship with the baby. We used the Ground Theory to investigate seven (7) post-partum depressed cases. Five fathers, six mothers and two pediatricians participated in the study. We concluded that the partners of post-partum depressed women refer some "perplexity" when facing this unexpected situation, which seems to "reactivate previous experiences and conflicts", namely the precocious relationships with their own mothers and other significant ones. The "expectation towards the partner" determines in some cases the rising of "resenting feelings" and in other cases "comprehending feeling", which leads them to help their wives throughout this difficult period in their lives. Despite the different postures adopted by the fathers, all of them wind up "assuming a maternal role" in an attempt to compensate the internal indisposition of the mothers.
