The PaGES Index
NVD
All women who were recruited to the main MOLI trial also completed both antenatal and postnatal PaGES Index forms. The first 68 to do so comprised this pilot study (see Table Since the aim of this paper is to report on the feasibility and acceptability of the PaGES Index, results are presented here only to indicate how the data can be managed and to illustrate the potential of this kind of PREM approach.In Figs. The antenatal qualitative analysis produced 24 codes, 14 of which also emerged postnatally, along with a further 14 postnatal codes. Codes were aggregated to form 14 antenatal and 13 postnatal themes (eleven of which were shared) and in turn these themes were grouped to form six overarching themes 
Antenatal and postnatal overarching themes, themes, codesWas scared / fear / afraid / worried / anxious prior to birth24 Antenatal codes (14 also PN) 28 Postnatal codes (14 also AN)These themes and codes demonstrate how participants in this study broadly shared similar views and experiences; and yet no two forms were identical. Individual experience, therefore, can be tracked. The first over-arching theme (‘Perspectives on the Birth’) is explored in more detail in Table
