Maternal-fetal attachment is the purest source of the powerful attachment relationship, the gradual internalisation of the life within unspoilt by the realities and complexities of early parenting. This qualitative study searches for a definition of attachment utilising a phenomenological framework. An opportunity sample of 10 women in the final trimester of pregnancy was interviewed. Interviews were transcribed and analysed using Glaser & Strauss's (1967) constant comparative methodology. Thirteen key themes were identified, of these 4 were specific to parenting experience. A novel finding contrary to earlier studies was that women reported their overwhelming emotion was not love but an innate desire to protect. Protection, the developmental nature of attachment and importance of the emotional and physical support of a partner or parent form the kernel of an evolving paradigm.
母婴依恋是强大依恋关系最纯粹的来源，是未被早期育儿的现实和复杂性所破坏的生命的逐渐内化。这项定性研究利用现象学框架探寻依恋的定义。对10名处于妊娠晚期的女性进行了机会抽样访谈。访谈内容被转录，并使用格拉泽和施特劳斯（1967年）的持续比较法进行分析。确定了13个关键主题，其中4个特定于育儿经历。与早期研究相反的一个新发现是，女性报告说她们压倒性的情绪不是爱，而是一种天生的保护欲。保护、依恋的发展本质以及伴侣或父母情感和身体支持的重要性构成了一个不断发展的范式的核心。
