“…This included studies from developing countries (n=5) and studies of adolescent pregnancies (n=2). This resulted in a total of six studies being included in the metasynthesis (Corbin 1987;Heaman et al 2004;Jackson et al 2006;Patterson 1993;Simmons and Goldberg 2011;Stainton 1992). Suitability for inclusion was agreed on after discussion among the team and where necessary authors of studies were contacted if further information about studies was required.…”

“…Definition of high risk pregnancy differed between the studies and included preexisting medical conditions likely to affect the health of the woman and fetus during pregnancy (Corbin 1987), conditions developing during the pregnancy (Heaman et al 2004), and conditions where the onset was not stated (Jackson et al 2006). The other studies defined risk in terms of conditions which would only affect the health of the infant.…”

Increasing numbers of women are referred to specialist antenatal clinics with the aim of optimising the management of complications that threaten the well-being of a mother and her baby. To provide appropriate psychological and emotional support within maternity care, the authors must first understand the experiences of the care recipients. Following ethical approval participants were recruited at referral to a specialist clinic in a tertiary referral centre in the North West of England. A purposive sample of six women with pregnancies at risk of placental disease, were included. A qualitative method using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used. A longitudinal approach has been applied to understand women's evolving experiences and needs. Data was collected through three semistructured interviews, from referral through to the postnatal period. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify the emerging phenomena. Significant themes include the need for individualised care; recognition of the pregnancy complication and the impact on other life events and relationships; preparation and effective information giving. A common relationship between the identified themes is communication. Effective and appropriate communication underpins a woman's experience, from referral to a specialist clinic, throughout the antenatal period and into the postnatal period. The findings illuminate the need to develop appropriate communication strategies which should be viewed in the wider context of participants' individual lives.
