N2  - For many women, having a baby is one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences; however, not everyone experiences the same positivity and pleasure when pregnant or having a new baby. For some, the ongoing hormonal and physical changes, mood swings, and personal and familial situations can create a lonely experience that can lead to distress and mental health issues. Wāhine Māori (Māori women) experience greater rates of postnatal distress (PND) and are less likely to seek help than women of European descent. Screening for PND could help identify those at risk of developing mental health issues or distress before it escalates. However, it is unclear how often Māori mothers are screened, or what their experiences of screening are.
