Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The subjects in both groups will be interviewed twice and will receive three questionnaires. One to two weeks prior to the scheduled cesarean section and during a scheduled obstetric outpatient visit, the first interview and questionnaire will be administered to the couple. A second questionnaire will be provided while still hospitalized (5 days post partum), to both mother and partner. Six weeks post partum, during a scheduled obstetric outpatient visit, the couple will be interviewed for the last time and will be asked to complete the third and last questionnaire.
