Background: Maternal mental status has been thought to be affected by the delivery modes. We examined the influence of delivery modes on the mental status of women who delivered at our institute in Japan. Methods: Data were collected from the medical charts of 645 primiparous women without a history of mental disorders who delivered singleton babies and underwent a 1-month postpartum check-up at our institute from September 2018 to June 2019. The maternal mental status was examined based on the scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale (MIBS). Results: The rate of high scores of the EPDS and the MIBS in women choosing elective cesarean section were higher than in women with vaginal delivery and emergency cesarean section. Conclusion: A fulfilling birth-plan and birth-review may also be necessary for women choosing elective cesarean section.
