Women experience physical, hormonal, and psychological changes during pregnancy. Similarly, some traditions are prevalent among Javanese women, which could affect their pregnancy. The experiences of first-time pregnant women in this area remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the lived experiences of women during their first pregnancy.
The qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was conducted in Kesambon village in Malang Regency, Indonesia. Eight women in their third trimester were selected purposively. Data were gathered using semi-structured interviews and subsequently open-coded using the NVivo-12 software manufactured by the QS International.
The participants were married primigravida women aged 17 to 22 years. Four themes emerged as follows: pregnancy is a positive experience, pregnant women are not independent, belief in pregnancy-related myths and traditions, and pregnancy-related information seeking.
During the first pregnancy, pregnant women believed and practiced Javanese traditions regarding pregnancy. Although they were happy, they were still dependent and lacked the motivation to seek pregnancy-related information. Hence, midwives should provide them with adequate pregnancy-related information while addressing harmful myths and misconceptions. This should culminate in a successful pregnancy.
女性在孕期会经历身体、激素和心理上的变化。同样，爪哇女性中存在一些传统习俗，这可能会影响她们的孕期。该地区初产妇的经历仍不明确。本研究旨在探索女性首次怀孕期间的生活经历。
采用现象学方法进行定性研究，研究地点为印度尼西亚马朗摄政区的凯桑邦村。有目的地选取了8名处于孕晚期的女性。通过半结构化访谈收集数据，随后使用QS国际公司生产的NVivo - 12软件进行开放式编码。
参与者为年龄在17至22岁的初婚初孕女性。出现了四个主题，分别为：怀孕是一种积极体验、孕妇不独立、相信与怀孕相关的神话和传统、寻求与怀孕相关的信息。
在首次怀孕期间，孕妇相信并践行爪哇人关于怀孕的传统习俗。尽管她们很高兴，但仍然依赖他人，且缺乏寻求与怀孕相关信息的动力。因此，助产士应在消除有害的神话和误解的同时，为她们提供足够的与怀孕相关的信息。这将促成一次成功的妊娠。
