To describe women's experience of pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
A qualitative study conducted in a private maternity hospital, from May, 2020 to November, 2021, with women aged ≥ 18 years, gestational age ≥ 36 weeks at birth and ≥ 24 hours post-partum. Data collected through semi-structured interviews, recorded, transcribed, and analyzed adopting Krippendorff's Content Analysis as theoretical-methodological framework.
Four main themes emerged: Fear, Taking care and celebrating pregnancy: adjusting to the new reality, Harms of Isolation, and Benefits of Isolation. The fear of contamination and its impact on the health of mother and child resulted in the adoption of severe social isolation, including from those considered sources of support by the expecting mother. Overwhelmed, some of the participants reported loneliness and psychic suffering. The opportunity to focus on the pregnancy, the preparations for the arrival of the child, and the family made isolation a beneficial and positive period for other women.
The experience of pregnancy in the Pandemic was an event outside of the ordinary and common. The expecting mother faced her worst fears on a daily basis and attended prenatal care, in order to ensure her child would be born healthy. The celebration of the baby's life, amid so many deaths, had to be adjusted to the virtual environment. It was a tense, solitary, and ambiguous period, which demanded a lot from the mental health of some participants, but to others, brought advantages that would not have been possible in different times.
描述女性在新冠疫情期间的怀孕经历。
于2020年5月至2021年11月在一家私立妇产医院开展一项定性研究，研究对象为年龄≥18岁、出生时孕周≥36周且产后≥24小时的女性。通过半结构化访谈收集数据，进行记录、转录，并采用克里彭多夫内容分析法作为理论方法框架进行分析。
出现了四个主要主题：恐惧、照顾与庆祝孕期：适应新现实、隔离的危害以及隔离的益处。对感染及其对母婴健康影响的恐惧导致采取了严格的社会隔离措施，包括与准妈妈认为的支持来源隔离。一些参与者不堪重负，报告了孤独和精神痛苦。专注于孕期、为孩子的到来做准备以及家庭生活的机会，使隔离对其他女性来说成为一段有益且积极的时期。
疫情期间的怀孕经历是一个非同寻常的事件。准妈妈每天都面临着最恐惧的事情，并坚持进行产前检查，以确保孩子健康出生。在众多死亡事件中庆祝婴儿的生命，不得不适应虚拟环境。这是一个紧张、孤独且模糊的时期，对一些参与者的心理健康要求很高，但对另一些人来说，带来了在不同时期不可能有的益处。
