Resumo
Abstract
Background:
evidence
suggests
that
assisted
reproductive treatments for infertility are increasingly
popular methods to becoming a mother. Yet very little is
known about how mothers integrate their identities as
infertile women with their new identities as mothers
after birth following IVF.
Aims: to explore how the meaning of conception in
women who successfully conceive after In Vitro
Fertilization (IVF) and how their identities as new
mothers may be affected by both experiences of
infertility and infertility treatments.
And to write a
practice guide for professionals in the field of assisted
reproductive technologies based on the study findings.
Design: mixed methods case study using in-depth and
telephone interviews and a quality of life scale to
compare women’s experiences of the transition to
motherhood after IVF in four countries. A multiprofessional and service user data analysis workshop to
write a good practice guide.
Participants
Women, who have conceived after fertility treatment in four
countries, Belgium, Scotland, England and Portugal
