Abstract

A descriptive qualitative study, carried out
in order to know how pregnant women with pre-existing
diabetes deal with the illness. The informants were five
women in a high risk prenatal clinic of a University
Hospital. The data were collected in June and July 2010,
through semi-structured interviews that were recorded,
transcribed and analyzed for thematic content, conducted
during clinic and prenatal consultations. Two categories
emerged: changes encouraged by family members
after pregnancy and recognizing the importance of
professional monitoring and its guidelines, which show
the implementation of significant changes in self- care, with
pregnancy and professional guidelines cited as motivating
factors. This shows that pregnancy, besides being a
landmark in women’s lives, also acts as a modifying factor
in perception and self-care.
