Primary hypotheses: 1. Problematic maternal attachment (high scores of anxiety and attachment-related avoidance, low scores of confidence in relationships - measured via Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) and Experiences in Close Relationships-Revisted (ECR-RD) in the third trimester of pregnancy) are correlated with an increased risk of acute and chronic pain (measured via a self-designed questionnaire one day as well as three und six months postpartum). 2. Problematic maternal attachment (high scores of anxiety and attachment-related avoidance, low scores of confidence in relationships - measured via Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) and Experiences in Close Relationships-Revisted (ECR-RD) in the third trimester of pregnancy) are correlated with an increased risk of depressive symptoms (measured via Edinburgh-Postnatal-Depression-Scale (EDPS) one day as well as three und six months postpartum).
