Summary

The goal of this observational study is to investigate the prevalence of Childbirth post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) and Childbirth post-traumatic stress symptom (CB-PTSS) in Switzerland, and to analyze the psychological, medical, and social factors linked with CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, whether they are antecedent factors or further consequences.

The main questions it aims to answer are :

* The prevalence of CB-PTSS and CB-PTSD in Switzerland, for both mothers and partners (Primary outcome)
* The risk and protective factors of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS (Secondary outcome)
* The impact of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS on the marital and co-parental adjustment and the bonding with the infant (Secondary outcome)
* The role of the childbirth experience on the triggering of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, including emotional and affective aspects (Secondary outcome)
* The social and economic determinants of CB-PTSD and CB-PTSS, including, for example, social support and religion (Secondary outcome)

Participants will fill up surveys at four time points:

* T1, during the third trimester of pregnancy
* T2, at 6 to 12 weeks post-partum
* T3, at 6 months post-partum
* T4, at 12 months post-partum
