To explore experiences of pregnant mothers who read picture books marketed to be read while their babies are in utero.
This study utilised a qualitative, multiple case study design involving 10 pregnant women from the Midwestern region of the United States. Participants read picture books marketed to be read by expectant families and participated in an interview focused on their experiences and reflections, and completed a follow-up survey 24-27 months later.
Themes identified included (1) Learning and Love; (2) Seeing the Baby as a Person; (3) Natural or Weird?; (4) Fathers' Involvement; (5) Slowing Down: Focusing on Now and Envisioning the Future; and (6) Who is this for?
Findings suggest providing books to expectant families may be a promising practice and should be further researched.
