Having a child is a big change in life. It can be stressful, but having a baby is healthy for your body and your brain. In fact, it reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes. It can also increase your confidence.

Having a baby is an amazing experience. But, it can also be a roller coaster of emotions. Many women feel that everything revolves around them during pregnancy and childbirth. The adjustment period is short, but the challenges will eventually ease.

Mothers need reliable sources of information. They also want to know that they are not alone. They want to know what to expect from childbirth and what to expect in the postpartum period. It is hard to find reliable information online. They are also concerned about the reliability of forums and other online sources.

In order to address these needs, a focus group was conducted. Twenty-two women aged 26 to 42 participated in the study. They were recruited through social networks and word of mouth. The first author conducted semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The interview questions were based on concepts from theory development.

The first step in the study was to clarify the concept of maternal role. The concept is defined as “a developmental process that involves interaction and satisfaction.” It includes the knowledge of pregnancy, the emotional well-being of the unborn baby, and the responsibility of taking care of the child.

The second step in the study was to validate the maternal needs. The concept is defined as “the antecedents of the maternal role are personal, psychological, and environmental factors.” It involves the ability to engage with others, to give birth safely, to have knowledge of pregnancy and to protect the unborn baby.
