Abstract(s)
Problema: O presente estudo parte da necessidade de perceber quais são as representações
que, mulheres grávidas têm acerca da sua gravidez nos diferentes trimestres, tendo em conta as
mudanças culturais e sociais dos últimos 50 anos, percebendo aquilo que ocorre em cada
trimestre e aquilo que é comum a todos. Objetivo: Compreender, de que forma mulheres
grávidas de diferentes trimestres vivem a sua gravidez, quais são as representações que criam,
o que vai mudando em cada três meses e o que permanece transversal às 40 semanas de
gestação. Método: Trata-se de um estudo exploratório que utiliza uma metodologia qualitativa,
nomeadamente a Entrevista Semi-Estruturada IRMAG-R (Interview of Maternal
Representations during Pregnancy – Revised Version) que foi analisada através da Técnica de
Análise de Conteúdo, bem como um questionário Sócio-Demográfico, aplicados a uma amostra
de 15 grávidas adultas, com uma distribuição homogénea por trimestre. Resultados: Os
resultados indicaram que existem características específicas de cada trimestre, sendo que no
primeiro ocorre sobretudo a consciencialização e aceitação da gravidez, bem como o inicio da
criação de uma identidade materna, sendo o feto concebido como um ser não diferenciado. No
segundo trimestre, o foco principal são os movimentos fetais que tornam o bebé mais presente,
começando a haver alguma diferenciação mãe-bebé. Já no terceiro trimestre, a mulher volta a
focar-se em si mesma, fantasiando sobre o tipo de mãe que será, havendo uma representação
de bebé muito mais concreta. As mudanças físicas têm um grande impacto na mulher, ao longo
de todo o processo gravídico, sendo muito citadas.
ABSTRACT: Problem: This study comes of the necessity to understand what representations pregnant women have about their pregnancy in the different trimesters, taking into account the cultural and social changes of the past 50 years, realizing what occurs in each trimester and what is common to all. Objective: Understand in what way pregnant women of different trimesters live their pregnancy, what are the representations they create, what is changing every three months and the remaining cross at 40 weeks of gestation. Method: This is an exploratory study using a qualitative methodology, namely Interview Semi-Structured IRMAG-R (Interview of Maternal Representations During Pregnancy - Revised Version) which was analyzed by content analysis technique as well as a socio-demographic questionnaire, applied to a sample of 15 pregnant adults, with a homogeneous distribution by trimester. Results: The results indicated that there are specific characteristics of each trimester, in the first mainly occurs awareness and acceptance of pregnancy as well as the beginning of the creation of a maternal identity and the fetus conceived as a being undifferentiated. In the second trimester, the main focus is on fetal movements that make the baby more present, starting to be some mother-infant differentiation. In the third trimester, the woman backs to focus on herself fantasizing about the kind of mother she will be, with a much more concrete Baby representation. The physical changes have an impact on the woman throughout pregnancy, often very cited.
