Capturing the voices of both parents regarding perinatal mental health is imperative. This qualitative study employed a purposive sampling technique to interview 23 individuals, including mothers, partners, and perinatal practitioners/educators. Qualitative data analysis utilized an inductive, data-driven approach. Four themes emerged. First, mothers' perception of risk of postpartum depression (PPD) changed over time and with subsequent children. Theme two focused on identity loss. Third, the stay-at-home parent often feels unrecognized by their partner. Fourth, a PPD prevention class for parents should include certain key elements. These themes can aid practitioners in prioritizing the needs of parents during the perinatal period. |
