Abstract

The lockdown to cope with the Covid-19-pandemic (C19-P) has major impact on psycho-social functioning of everyone in the country, especially on pregnant women because the worries for the unborn child. We propose to set-up focus groups interviews with pregnant women (+partners), eventually resulting in a C19-pandemic-perinatal questionnaire (C19-PPQ). The current proposal is an extension of the Brabant Study (BS) in which mental health is repeatedly assessed in 4000 pregnant women from 12 weeks gestation to 10 weeks postpartum.
