Abstract

This qualitative study examined the experiences of expectant mothers in writing songs to strengthen their emotional bonds during pregnancy. Five pregnant women living in Turkey participated in the study. They were asked to write songs thinking about their babies. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in the final session. Studies show that songwriting helps pregnant mothers get to know themselves and their babies better, reduces stress and anxiety, and strengthens prenatal bonding. The songwriting process is recognized as a valuable tool that allows women to make sense of and share their emotional experiences during pregnancy.

期刊介绍： The Infant Mental Health Journal (IMHJ) is the official publication of the World Association for Infant Mental Health (WAIMH) and the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health (MI-AIMH) and is copyrighted by MI-AIMH. The Infant Mental Health Journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles, literature reviews, program descriptions/evaluations, theoretical/conceptual papers and brief reports (clinical case studies and novel pilot studies) that focus on early social and emotional development and characteristics that influence social-emotional development from relationship-based perspectives. Examples of such influences include attachment relationships, early relationship development, caregiver-infant interactions, infant and early childhood mental health services, contextual and cultural influences on infant/toddler/child and family development, including parental/caregiver psychosocial characteristics and attachment history, prenatal experiences, and biological characteristics in interaction with relational environments that promote optimal social-emotional development or place it at higher risk. Research published in IMHJ focuses on the prenatal-age 5 period and employs relationship-based perspectives in key research questions and interpretation and implications of findings.
