Three discussion groups were conducted, with the participation of 21 HCP during February 2024. Sampling was intentional, purposive designed to ensure discourse diversity. Recruitment was conducted through key contacts in public primary healthcare centres, sexual and reproductive health care centres, hospital settings in Catalonia, using snowball techniques. The data were analysed using thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The challenges encountered by HCP who provide care to PBW are numerous and vary depending on the healthcare speciality area. Family physicians and nurses identified a lack of training in obstetrics as a factor contributing to difficulties in prescribing medicines. Midwives emphasised the importance of monitoring and follow-up during pregnancy, especially in cases where an adaptation of medication is required, while gynaecologists drew attention to the challenges posed by an increase in medication avoidance. HCP expressed concerns about the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, as opposed to the greater safety of evidence of pertussis and influenza vaccines. The use of alternative therapies may lead to potential complications during consultations, as some users do not disclose their use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec005\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study underscores the challenges encountered by HCP in drug prescriptions, complementary medicine, and vaccination during pregnancy and breastfeeding, considering HCP differences between specialities. Additionally, the study emphasises the difficulties associated with dual follow-up cases and the significance of establishing trusting relationships with users and shared decision-making processes or a good medication adherence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec006\">\n                    <jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>HCP have participated sharing their experience in prescribing medication and recommendations on vaccines and alternative medicine.
