Anil Devta

For a variety of reasons, including obstetric problems or a sense of helplessness, some women consider childbirth as being an unpleasant experience. We don't know enough about how a woman's following pregnancies will be affected if she has a childbirth that she feels was a bad experience. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a woman's physical and emotional health during a subsequent pregnancy is impacted by a prior, perceived unpleasant birthing experience. a prospective cohort study in Danish general practise using the women's responses to an electronic survey and information from the general practitioner's Prenatal Health Record about the women's labour and delivery experiences. The analysis covered 1288 female participants in total. Ladies who have previously given birth were discovered to have a much reduced likelihood of pelvic cavity pain in the present pregnancy and a much higher risk of having nausea, varicose veins, and uterine contractions. Women who had previously given birth were noticeably more likely to feel unwell and rate their physical condition as bad. Compared to women who reported having a problem-free delivery, women with perceived unfavourable birthing experiences had more sleep issues and a higher prevalence of poor self-rated health.
