HW 41 Independent Research

For my project, I am interested in exploring the significant changes that go on when a woman becomes pregnant and within the months that follow. Its interesting to me because for 9 months of a womans lifetime, she is pretty much helpless when it comes to changes of her physical and mental being. To explore this, I will interview mothers that I know in my life, including my own of course, and really get inside their heads as to what was going on with their body and mind during the struggle towards the beautiful moment of childbirth. Below are a few basic examples to the kind of questions I will be asking to get the research I need.

What were some significant physical/mental changes you went through during pregnancy?
How did you feel knowing that your child was causing all of this?
What would you change about being pregnant in order for it to be easier on you?
Were there moments where you didn't want to be pregnant anymore, like it was a mistake?
In the end, how is seeing your child being born worth it?

These are basic, general questions that I plan to personalize based on the personal situation of the interviewees. I may also do some side research based off of answers that I receive if I see fit to explore a topic deeper for better understanding.
