| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Score (EPDS) | 6 weeks | Self-completed questionnaire, electronically completed. Scores range from 0-30, with higher score indicating higher likelihood of depressive illness. A score of 10 or greater is characterized as possible depression. |
| Secondary | Pain Score on Average (BPI - Short Form) | 2 days postpartum | Self-completed questionnaire, electronically completed. Pain scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine). Participants only answered this question if answered "yes" to question: "Have you had pain other than everyday kinds of pain today?" |
