Data were obtained through in\u2010depth virtual semi\u2010structured interviews with 16 pregnant and postpartum mothers before access to the Covid\u201019 vaccine in Iran, between January and May 2021. Participants were selected from an online announcement in Tehran, Iran. Data were analyzed by conventional qualitative content analysis introduced by Graneheim and Lundman (2004).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data analysis showed that mothers who became pregnant during the outbreak of Covid\u201019, despite the lack of access to the vaccine, fulfilled their previous decision to get pregnant. They had motivations for pregnancy and made a conscious decision for this purpose. Prenatal care during the Covid\u201019 pandemic has had unique features. Prenatal care was a necessity; mothers adjusted themselves to prenatal care. The continuous midwifery model of care using telehealth helped pregnant women overcome the difficulties of the Covid\u201019 pandemic. Covid\u201019 made a special experience for expectant mothers, which included everything from disturbance of mental condition to adopting solutions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Pregnancy and prenatal care during the Covid\u201019 pandemic were a unique experience. Psychological disturbances, the impact of the pandemic on the experience of pregnancy, and the effectiveness of prenatal care under the conditions governing the pandemic were some of the features of women's experience. In future possible pandemics, the experiences gained from the Covid\u201019 pandemic, such as telehealth and continued care, could be used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study was informed by the need to understand the firsthand experiences of pregnant and postpartum mothers during a public health crisis. While patients or the public were not involved in the initial design of this study, their central and invaluable contribution lies in their participation as the key study subjects. The research is fundamentally built upon their lived experiences, which were shared through in\u2010depth interviews. The analysis and interpretation of the data are directly derived from their narratives, ensuring that the findings are grounded in patient perspectives. Participants were also invited to review initial transcripts and coded data to verify accuracy and resonance with their experiences, enhancing the credibility and transferability of the results.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/hex.70558","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,6]],"date-time":"2026-01-06T05:35:59Z","timestamp":1767677759000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Pregnancy in the Shadow of Covid\u201019: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Giti","family":"Ozgoli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery and Reproductive Health, Midwifery and Reproductive Health Research Center, School of Nursing and Midwifery Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7330-1037","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sedigheh Sedigh","family":"Mobarakabadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Midwifery and Reproductive Health, Midwifery and Reproductive Health Research Center, School of Nursing and Midwifery Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences Tehran Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/584403"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-021-03691-y"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2020.03.021"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","unstructured":"T.Ghebreyesus WHO Director\u2010General's Opening Remarks at the Media Briefing on COVID\u201019\u201025 May 2020 (World Health Organization 2020)."},{"key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"World Health Organization Overview of Public Health and Social Measures in the Context of COVID\u201019: Interim Guidance 18 May 2020.
