Description: This dataset contains all three phases of data collection from the survey study Fear of Childbirth, Birth Experiences, Self-Esteem and Parental Burnout. The data contains answers from participants (n=125) in late pregnancy (30+ weeks in gestation) and postpartum (4-8 weeks after childbirth and 1 year after childbirth). The data is collected in 2020-2021 from four Finnish cities.

In addition, the data contains variables such as depression (BDI), satisfaction in couple relationship (CSI) and resources of the family (resources). The qualitative birth experience (measured at time point 2) is also included.
