| Sumario: | Objective: to understand what it was like to experience the birth of a child during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: qualitative study whose data were collected in September 2021, through semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews with 11 mothers and submitted to content analysis, thematic modality. Results: two categories emerged, which show that the birth of the child during the pandemic was experienced in a restrictive way, which aroused feelings such as fear, anxiety, worry, frustration, but also relief, happiness and overcoming. The possibility of using social media resources to contact friends and family was a source of informational and emotional support. Final considerations: The support of the social network, even if it was virtual, was fundamental to face the adversities of the period, some strategies were adopted, such as family support and social networks as a way to minimize isolation. |
