Abstract

The data contain material from two separate studies. The first study (study A) was conducted by Riikka Homanen and is about the way women perceive their first pregnancies and births. The second study (study B) is about women who were pregnant and had symptoms of post-natal depression (even self-diagnosed). The data in both studies consist of stories which the participants wrote and sent to the researchers through mail or e-mail. In both studies, there was a strong emphasis on the experiences of the participants.

The dataset is only available in Finnish.
