A 45-Minute talk after childbirth could cut postpartum depression risk

This study tests whether a structured, midwife-led review of the childbirth experience can improve mental health in new mothers and fathers. The intervention involves a 45-60 minute session where parents discuss their birth story, receive emotional support, and get clarifications. Researchers will compare giving this session within the first week, at 6-8 weeks, at both times, or standard care alone. The goal is to see if this simple talk reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety after birth.
