Becoming a mother: teenage mothers’ experiences of first pregnancy

Abstract

The purpose of this study was firstly to explore and describe the experiences of teenage mothers of first pregnancy. Secondly, to develop guidelines of a support programme that is contextual and relevant to the needs of teenage mothers. The guidelines are aimed at assisting midwives in meeting the needs of teenage mothers. An exploratory, descriptive, contextual and qualitative design was used. The phenomenological approach was implemented to collect and analyze data from a purposively selected sample of fourteen (14) teenage mothers who were pregnant for the first time. The model of Guba and Lincoln (1985: 301-318) was implemented to ensure trustworthiness in this qualitative study. Five themes emerged from the analysis of the data. Guidelines and recommendations for support programme were developed.

A few studies have used qualitative approaches to describe specific aspects of adolescent pregnancy and motherhood, including the adjustment to pregnancy and motherhood, 8 postpartum depression, 9 breastfeeding, 10 and in-hospital postpartum experiences. 11 Studies that have compared the experiences of adolescents with nonadolescents suggest that adolescents may be more likely to have higher rates of intimate partner violence, 12 postpartum depression, 13 and smoking during pregnancy, 14 whereas findings related to their obstetrical experiences are equivocal, with some studies reporting increased risks 15 and others describing similar or lower risks.…”
