This chapter presents a detailed exploration of mothers’ interpretations of their birth and postnatal experiences and their baby’s behaviour. To investigate this, 22 mothers with babies up to 12 months were interviewed. Alongside collecting their birth stories and descriptions of baby behaviour, mothers were asked whether they thought the birth experience and their baby’s behaviour and temperament were in any way related. Mothers experienced childbirth as a momentous physical and psychological event, and their descriptions of their baby’s behaviour seemed to indicate that babies were affected by the birth and postnatal days. Mothers who felt well-supported during childbirth fared much better than those who felt neglected or abandoned, and their babies seemed to fare better, too. Interestingly, over half the mothers in this study did not perceive the birth as connected to their baby’s behaviour, although mothers were more likely to perceive a link following positive birth and postnatal experiences. The reasons for this are unknown, but—as maternity care providers in the last chapter perceived definite connections—perhaps this different perception by many of the mothers had something to do with guilt, shame or remorse if the birth did not go as planned. Moreover, the mothers in this study often saw their baby’s behaviour as a process of adjusting to the world and gradually becoming settled rather than seeing their behaviour as a problem.
