I am a midwifery student looking into the Psychology Of Birth and would appriciate your help. Please feel free to post answers below or PM me.



The purpose of this questionnaire is to explore the standard of antenatal care and education. Your details will remain confidential and will be destroyed once the data has been gathered.



If your first pregnancy and birth experience was within the past 5 years I would be very grateful if you could spare a minute to complete this questionnaire.

Please answer the question based on your first pregnancy and birth experience only.



Thank you.
