Brief Summary

Childbirth is a critical moment in this perinatal period, with high unpredictability and risks of medical complications for the mother and child. It can be experienced as a traumatic experience for the woman. The consequences of a traumatic childbirth are numerous: psychiatric consequences for the mother: with increased risk of post-traumatic stress syndrome of postpartum depression decompensation of an old psychiatric illness, suicide , addictive disorders ; consequences on interactions: early mother-baby interactions are of poorer quality if the women have a negative experience of their birth. Very few studies have focused on the early detection of traumatic childbirth, on the day of it. These evaluations only take into account the women's experience of their childbirth. The systematization of a screening questionnaire for all deliveries would help to detect obvious traumatic deliveries but also to detect traumatic experiences when objectively the delivery occurs without obstetric complications. This is why the objective of our study is to evaluate the perception of traumatic births by midwives.
