Health related quality of life of women at the sixth week and sixth month postpartum by mode of birth.

CONCLUSION: While mode of birth is not directly associated with health-related quality of life, it does have an indirect relationship in the short term. Women who reported the lowest health-related quality of life were those with postpartum urinary incontinence. Most women with postpartum urinary incontinence were in the forceps group.
