Summary:Keywords: Postnatal Blues, Symptomatology, Pakistani Mothers, Puerperium, Indigenous Screening, Scale Development. Besides significant physical experience, childbirth significantly transforms the childbearing woman's emotional, social, and spiritual wellbeing (Brockington, 1996; Buultjens & Liamputtong, 2007). Mothers with PNBs have multiple times high inclination toward successive PND (Miller et al., 2017), and at least 20% of them aptly develop PND (Patel et al., 2002). [...]designing an assessment protocol for PNBs can be a significant contribution to preventing mothers from experiencing chronic illness.

[...]society's culture also shapes the expressions and interpretations of psychological conditions.
