Mode of delivery is associated with postpartum mental health, so mothers with emergency caesarean section (EmCS) need more support for their mental health. Therefore, healthcare providers should pay special attention to the increased risk of anxiety, depression and stress in these women and provide appropriate care and follow-up.

Along with investing in technologies and clinical practice to minimise the number of EmCS, more research and education are needed to develop effective strategies to prepare and support women experiencing this delivery mode.
