Pregnancy is a particularly joyful time for most women as they look forward to the imminent birth of their child and taking on the role of mother. However, as this is also a very sensitive phase in a woman's life, which is accompanied by many biological but also mental changes, it is important to investigate its exact effects on the expectant mother.

In this study, we would like to gain an overview of the current mental well-being of pregnant women in the last trimester of pregnancy in co-operation with the University Hospital Düsseldorf.

If you take part, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire in the waiting room of the antenatal clinic. It will take about 5 minutes. If you do not have an appointment at the University Hospital Düsseldorf before the birth, we will be happy to send you the documents by e-mail. All participants will receive a small gift as a thank you.

You can take part in the TWIST study between the 28th and 34th week of pregnancy if you are planning to give birth at the University Hospital Düsseldorf.

If you are interested in taking part in the study, please contact our study team at the following e-mail address: twist-studie@hhu.de. The contact person for the study is Romina Bergmann. We will then check the inclusion and exclusion criteria together and clarify the next steps with you personally. You are also welcome to contact us if you are not yet in the last trimester of pregnancy to discuss possible future participation.
