This study aims to examine whether naturally occurring bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract are associated with mood changes following childbirth, including postpartum depression. Biological samples will be collected before and after delivery to determine whether specific patterns in gut bacterial composition are linked to emotional states. The purpose of the research is to improve understanding of whether such microbial changes can help identify individuals at higher risk for postpartum depression, enabling earlier recognition and intervention.
