Vaginal delivery or caesarean section - Severity of early symptoms of postpartum depression and assessment of pain in Polish women in the early puerperium.

CONCLUSIONS: Caesarean section (especially emergency CS) is a risk factor for postpartum depression, and the level of pain experienced is a marker of its potential severity. Evaluation of factors associated with postpartum pain and depressive symptoms can help midwives to counsel women better about their delivery alternatives and can promote improved management of women undergoing both types of delivery experiences.
