"Are you between 8-16 weeks pregnant? Would you like to contribute to a world first study on maternal and infant wellbeing pre- and post birth?"

Pregnant women who are between 8-16 weeks gestation are invited to take part in a study that examines maternal and infant wellbeing throughout pregnancy and the first 12 months post birth. This is a confidential study, being conducted by Ms Sofia Rallis and Dr Helen Skouteris in the School of Psychology, Deakin University. The findings of this study will contribute invaluable information to the literature about maternal and infant wellbeing during pregnancy and the first year post birth.

Participation will entail completing a set of questionnaires on a monthly basis from early pregnancy, through to 12 months post birth. While this may sound like a lot, most of the questionnaires will take less than 15 minutes to complete at each time.

Participants will also go into the draw one of ten x $50 Coles/Myer Vouchers.
