About

Pregnancy and postpartum are recognized as periods of psychic fragility. However, the psychiatric disorders of women that can emerge during these periods are underdiagnosed and have consequences in particular on the development of the child, his relationship with his parents.

The need for an early diagnosis to allow appropriate treatment seems to be essential.

The pregnancy monitoring is centered on the somatic and little on psychological evaluation of the mother and the father.

In this context, the Early Prenatal Interview (EPP) was created through the perinatal plan of 2005-2007 in order to allow a more precise research of the factors of vulnerabilities likely to be predictive of a somatic, psychological or social disorder.

However, until now, only few pregnant women benefited of this interview. In May 2020, EPP became mandatory for all pregnant women. It now seems important to clearly identify the place, function, organization and usefulness of this interview in order to maximize its benefit in the monitoring of pregnancy

Full description

First, the investigators will describe the care pathway for pregnant women who have benefited of an early prenatal interview (EPP) between March 2019 and March 2020, namely continued classic follow-up or referral to a child psychiatrist / psychiatrist.

Then, the investigators will define two subgroups within the women oriented towards psychiatric follow-up: those who had this follow-up and those who did not.

Then, the investigators will identify the factors of failure of this referral to psychiatric follow-up and describe the eventual difficulties encountered by the lack of this follow-up.

Finally, the investigators will try to study these observations made with the perspective of maximizing the benefit of the Early Prenatal Interview in the monitoring of pregnancy.
