In these difficulties and disporders, it is important to emphasize the role of a home visit nurse that educates women and family members before and after birth, and with own advice and knowledge contributes to easyer overcoming of the stress period. During the writing of this work, survey was conducted on a sample of 112 women. Results of the survey indicated that psychological difficulties and disorders in postpartum period are widespred and common problem. Almost 50% of women (44,46%) experienced some kind of the mental changes. Most common change is baby blues, followed by postpartum depression and anxiety disorders. Pospartum psychosis is very rare. There are several factors that can increase or decrease probability for psychic changes. Age and the way of birth do not affect the probability, while social factor like family support can have a great influence on this probability. Educating of the mother before the birth can help, but if mother informs herself or information is unverified, effect may be opposite.
