Abstract:
Quality of life has become an area of increasing importance to the area of pregnancy and childbirth. Much has been written on specific clinical presentations that occur during the perinatal period that may deleteriously impact on perceived quality of life, for example postnatal depression, complications during labor or abnormalities in the baby. This chapter will explore the salient issues regarding assessment of quality of life during pregnancy and in the postnatal period.
