| dc.description.abstract | This study explored the impact of an unplanned Caesarean section on mother-infant bonding, by examining the
development of maternal identities and mothers’ subsequent relationships with their babies. In-depth interviews with 10
women (mean age=28; SD=1.97) explored their lived experiences of mother-infant bonding after an unplanned
Caesarean childbirth. Participants perceived an unplanned Caesarean birth to adversely impact the development of a
maternal role identity, the formation of balanced maternal attachment representations, caregiving abilities, and initial
mother-infant bonding. | en_US |
