摘要：A lifeworld hermeneutic approach was used in order to understand Swedish women’s thoughts on childbearing. Nine women were interviewed, and they ranged in age from 22 to 28 years and represented diverse socioeconomic, educational, sexual, and fertility backgrounds. All women were similar in that they lacked experience of giving birth and parenthood. The analysis showed that childbearing includes dimensions of both immanence and transcendence. Immanence, as childbearing is seen as stagnant to women’s freedom in present life. Transcendence, as childbearing is thought of as a project for future life, a part of female identity, and a conscious standpoint for which the woman wants to be prepared and for which she wants to create the best conditions.Key words: Childbearing, hermeneutics, interviews, lifeworld, qualitative analysis, women’s health(Published: 3 May 2012)Citation: Int J Qualitative Stud Health Well-being 2012, 7: 17318 - http://dx.doi.org/10.3402/qhw.v7i0.17318
