It isn't just ethical issues. It's also how soon women will feel able to spend time taking part in your research and how their attitudes may change in the weeks after birth.

Sheila,
Firstly, it depends on the research question.
Secondly, it may help if you turn it round, and ask why it would be unethical to recruit women at a specified time point. That may help you to identify what the ethical issues are.

Dear All,
Could anyone direct me on where to find information on what is considered to be an appropriate time to approach women to take part in a research study in the postnatal period.
Thanks
Sheila
