Women's reality who had achieved pregnancy after infertility : study of their parenthood and couple's marital and sexual relationship

本定性研究对22名不孕不育治疗后成功怀孕的女性进行访谈，以确定怀孕后过渡到为人父母的情感问题以及夫妻的婚姻关系和性关系。总体而言，多胞胎母亲大多建立了良好的亲子关系，但多胞胎母亲对婴儿存在心理困难。在他们放弃了怀孕的愿望后，意外的自然怀孕引起了混乱。特别是当夫妻双方对怀孕的接受方式不同时，他们之间的关系变得紧张起来。当女性因不孕而感到被否定时，怀孕作为重获自尊的手段和目标，在理想和现实之间制造了差距。怀孕是治疗不孕症期间性交的唯一目的，因此这对夫妇对性的看法产生了新的冲突。调查结果表明，不孕后妊娠治疗并不能解决不孕所带来的所有问题，反而在很多情况下引发了新的矛盾。

Interviews of 22 females who had achieved pregnancy after infertility treatment were conducted in this qualitative study to identify emotional problems of transition to parenthood and the couple's marital and sexual relationship after pregnancy. In general, most of them had established good parenthood, but the multiple pregnant mothers were facing mental difficulty towards the babies. An unexpected spontaneous pregnancy after they had given up a wish for pregnancy caused confusion. Especially when the husband and wife accepted the pregnancy differently, the relationship between them was strained. When the woman was feeling denied due to infertility, pregnancy contributed as the means and the goal of regaining self-respect, while creating a gap between the ideal and the reality. Pregnancy was the only purpose of intercourse during infertility treatment, thus causing a new conflict of views towards sexuality between the couple. This investigation showed pregnancy after infertility treatment did not necessarily solve all the problems caused by infertility but brought out a new conflict in many cases.
