Funded Activity Summary

Body image concerns during pregnancy and the post-partum: What are the predictors and consequences? This research will address ARC Research Priority Area 2: promoting the health and wellbeing of mothers, and also supporting mothers? abilities to give their children a healthy start to life. We will assess the response of Australian women to body changes during pregnancy and the postpartum in order to determine whether findings overseas are applicable and can be enhanced in Australian women. In addition, given that at least one in 10 pregnant women will develop post-partum depression, a thorough understanding of early warning signs of risk for post-natal depression is necessary to relieve the suffering of many Australian women.
