Hi all,

My name is Suzanne and I'm an expectant mum and full-time research psychologist working in the UK. I'm hoping you will share your memories for your recent birth experience by taking part in some research I'm undertaking looking at memory for childbirth.

I am conducting the research study at Sussex University with the help of Dr Susan Ayers who is a very experienced researcher in the area of postnatal psychological distress in this country. The current research investigates women's general memory, their memories of childbirth, and how these may (or may not) be associated with post natal psychological distress. This type of research can contribute enormously to our understanding of birth related psychological distress, so your help would really be appreciated.

If you have given birth within the past year, I hope you might be willing to take part and will find the questionnaire interesting. Once you click on the link below, you will be asked to download an application - please rest assured this is not harmful to your computer and is safe to download. The application can be automatically removed from your computer once the study is completed. The questionnaire should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.

For further information and to take part, please go to:

If you would like a summary of results from this research, once it is completed, please contact me on my email address listed below.

Thank you so much for your time.
