AB  - BACKGROUND: The 10-item Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised (BSS-R) is being 
      increasingly used internationally. The use of the measure and the concept has 
      gathered traction in the United States following the development of a US version 
      of the tool. A limitation of previous studies of the measurement characteristics 
      of the BSS-R is modest sample size. Unplanned pregnancy is recognised as being 
      associated with a range of negative birth outcomes, but the relationship to birth 
      satisfaction has received little attention, despite the importance of birth 
      satisfaction to a range of postnatal outcomes. AIM: The current investigation 
      sought to evaluate the measurement characteristics of the BSS-R in a large 
      postpartum sample. METHODS: Multiple Groups Confirmatory Factor Analysis (MGCFA) 
      was used to evaluate a series of measurement and structural models of the BSS-R 
      to evaluate fundamental invariance characteristics using planned/unplanned 
      pregnancy status to differentiate groups. FINDINGS: Complete data from N=2116 
      women revealed that the US version of the BSS-R offers an excellent fit to data 
      and demonstrates full measurement and structural invariance. Little difference 
      was observed between women on the basis of planned/unplanned pregnancy 
      stratification on measures of birth satisfaction. DISCUSSION: The established 
      relationship between unplanned pregnancy and negative perinatal outcomes was not 
      found to extend to birth satisfaction in the current study. The BSS-R 
      demonstrated exemplary measurement and structural invariance characteristics. 
      CONCLUSION: The current study strongly supports the use of the US version of the 
      BSS-R to compare birth satisfaction across different groups of women with 
      theoretical and measurement confidence.
