Exploring the subjective meaning-making and perceptions of the impact of their high- risk pregnancies in a sample of women from resource-constrained areas
(University of the Western Cape, 2023) Cebekhulu, Gugulethu; Andipatin, Michelle
Background and Aim: Health problems that occur before or during pregnancy may increase the likelihood of a high-risk pregnancy. While PTSD has been previously believed to occur following events such as war, sexual assault and violence, recent evidence suggests that it may occur after childbirth. The aim of this study was to explore the ways in which women from resource-constrained areas who experienced high-risk pregnancies made sense of their experiences and how those experiences impacted their postpartum mental health.
