The prevalence of fear of childbirth around the world ranges between 4–25%, with 3–7% of pregnant women having clinical fear of childbirth.Most new mothers may experience mild feelings of unhappiness and worry after giving birth.  Babies require a lot of care, so it’s normal for mothers to be worried about, or tired from, providing that care.  The feelings, often termed the "baby blues", affect up to 80 percent of mothers.  They are somewhat mild, last a week or two, and usually go away on their own.Postpartum depression is different from the “baby blues”.

The condition, which occurs in nearly 15 percent of births, may begin shortly before or any time after childbirth, but commonly begins between a week and a month after delivery.Childbirth-related posttraumatic stress disorder is a psychological disorder that can develop in women who have recently given birth.  Causes include issues such as an emergency C-section, preterm labour, inadequate care during labour,
