Women new to motherhood or about to embark on the journey are being sought for a study at Charles Sturt University (CSU). PhD student Ms Amanda King from the School of Psychology at CSU in Bathurst is investigating influences on the infant-mother relationship, as well as factors that influence a woman's adjustment to motherhood.  Ms King said, "I am seeking both prenatal and postnatal women for the project but they must be first-time mothers. Those who are currently pregnant will be asked to complete an online survey during their third trimester, and again at six months postpartum. Participants in the study who have already given birth will only need to complete a questionnaire at six months postpartum." Funded by the parenting organisation, Karitane, Ms King's research aims to establish a comprehensive understanding of the transition to parenthood, and may provide an important avenue for facilitating adjustment during this period.
