Description

Introduction: Pregnant women generally report hesitation and reluctance

in visiting health care providers to acquire prenatal care due to fear of SAR-
Cov2 infection. The habit and culture of prenatal care among pregnant

women influence the final pregnancy outcome. This study aimed to explore
experiences of pregnancy, postpartum, and newborn care among the
mothers, and also to provide basics in developing nursing care programs
for pregnant women, postpartum care, and newborn care, responding to
the new normal era adequately.

Methods: This was a qualitative study with a phenomenology design. In-
depth interview sessions involving 12 participants with a history of

pregnancy and childbirth from March 2020 to March 2021 were conducted
in Denpasar City. Collaizi model enrolled for the data analysis.
Results: Three themes surfaced during the data analysis: mothers’ feelings
toward their pregnancy experience during the pandemic, health care
services expected from the health professionals, and social supports
during the pregnancy and postpartum period.
Conclusion: These findings may present contributions to the organization
of health information and maternity care service: pregnancy, postpartum,
and newborn care, with more convenient access and delivered during the
visitation of the health care providers.
