Gravid eller nyss fött barn? Gör din röst hörd - engelskaIf you are pregnant or have recently given birth, you now have the chance to participate in Graviditetsenkäten (the Pregnancy Survey). You will be asked questions about how you felt about the care you received during your pregnancy, after giving birth, and one year after giving birth. The survey also includes questions about your health. Each pregnancy and childbirth experience is unique, so your participation is important to us. Your feedback will help us improve the care.
Log in and enter your contact details to participate. Each part of the survey takes about five minutes to answer.

What kind of questions are asked in the survey?
You will be asked questions about your experiences of and opinions about the care you received. For example, you may be asked questions about how you were treated by the midwife and other staff.
You will also be asked questions about your health, such as how you have been feeling during your pregnancy, or how you felt after giving birth.
Why is this survey being done?
The purpose of this survey is to give your region information to help develop and improve healthcare. The regions would like to improve care before, during and after childbirth.
Who formulated the questions in the survey?
The questions in the survey were formulated by Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner, SKR, in collaboration with Bristningsregistret, Graviditetsregistret, Svenska Barnmorskeförbundet, and SFOG – Svensk förening för obstetrik och gynekologi.
Participation in this survey is voluntary, and so is registering with Graviditetsregistret (the Swedish Pregnancy Register). Your responses will not be linked to you personally. Healthcare professionals can’t see if you have taken the survey, and they can’t access your responses.
The results will be presented at a group level once enough people have responded. According to law, personal data, like your name and your personal identity number, must always be anonymised before the results can be disclosed or used in reports or for research purposes.
Who can answer questions about the pregnancy survey?
Please contact a midwife if you have any questions about how to answer the survey. Are you experiencing any problems, or do you need support during your pregnancy or after giving birth? Please contact a midwife or health centre.
