Exploring unintended pregnancy journeys among women with psychiatric vulnerability using interpretative phenomenological analysis

This study elucidates the experiences of unintended pregnancies in women with psychiatric vulnerability. Our findings show that for women with psychiatric vulnerability, UPs may also become a window of opportunity for treatment, personal growth and create a safety net for the baby and oneself. This work may help mental healthcare providers to support comprehensively expectant parents who decide to continue UPs.

Abstract

This study elucidates the experiences of unintended pregnancies in women with psychiatric vulnerability. Our findings show that for women with psychiatric vulnerability, UPs may also become a window of opportunity for treatment, personal growth and create a safety net for the baby and oneself. This work may help mental healthcare providers to support comprehensively expectant parents who decide to continue UPs.
