Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A unique perspective on multiple pregnancy is shared through the writings of an expectant mother of triplets during the 19 weeks she spent on strict bed rest, 15 of which were in the hospital. The expectant mother in this case is also a family physician, who finds herself on the opposite side of the patient bed to which she is accustomed. Through excerpts from her journal, the emotional ups and downs of a complicated pregnancy are revealed, along with the sources of strength and courage that kept her going. Commentary regarding the psychologic theory and developmental tasks of multiple pregnancy provide a foundation for suggesting effective nursing interventions for the psychosocial demands of these often high-risk pregnancies. |
