本研究的目的是发展一个理论之间的关系，母亲和她的未出生的双胞胎使用定性扎根理论的方法。10名妇女参加了采访中的最后三个月的双胞胎怀孕，并再次在产后早期。对这些妇女提供的数据采用了常数比较法进行了分析。另外两名被调查者被抽样调查，以制定和验证初步的理论。对于这项研究中的女性来说，研究结果表明，母亲在生活中适应双胞胎怀孕的更广泛背景下与未出生的双胞胎形成关系。妇女完成这一过程的方式是立即寻求有关双胞胎怀孕的信息，从各种意义上说，在她的生活中为两个婴儿而不是一个婴儿腾出空间，并评估自己的怀孕风险。一位母亲从事自我保护行为和旨在保护未出生双胞胎健康的行为，作为应对双胞胎怀孕风险和双胞胎怀孕本身的一种方法。随着双胞胎怀孕的进展，女性逐渐接受怀双胞胎的想法。对于怀双胞胎的妇女来说，两个婴儿的出生证实了怀孕的真实性。
The object of this study was to develop a theory of the relationship between a mother and her unborn twins using a qualitative grounded theory methodology. Ten women participated in interviews during the last trimester of a twin pregnancy and again during the early postpartum period. Data provided by these women was analysed using the constant comparative method. Two additional informants were sampled in order to formulate and verify the tentative theory. For women in this study, the findings indicate that mothers form a relationship with their unborn twins within the wider context of accommodating the twin pregnancy in their lives. A woman accomplishes this process by immediately seeking information about twin pregnancy, by making room, in all senses, for two babies instead of one in her life, and by appraising her own pregnancy risk. A mother engages in self-protective behaviors and in behaviors designed to protect the health of her unborn twins as a method of coping with the perceived risk of the twin pregnancy and with the twin pregnancy itself. As the twin pregnancy progresses, women move toward accepting the idea of being pregnant with twins. For women pregnant with twins, the birth of two infants confirms the reality of the pregnancy.
