Antenatal anxiety is common during the perinatal period and, if untreated, can
have lasting effects on both maternal and infant outcomes. Despite this, there is little
research seeking to understand the lived experiences of women who have had antenatal
anxiety. In order to design appropriate perinatal mental health services for women, it is
important to gain an understanding of their experiences from their perspective.
Methods: A meta-ethnographic approach was used to systematically search and synthesise
qualitative research exploring women's experiences of antenatal anxiety. Five electronic
databases (ASSIA and Social Services, PsychInfo, Medline, EMBASE, and CINAHL) were
searched. Quality appraisal was carried out using a modified Critical Appraisal Skills
Programme checklist. For the empirical project, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
was used to explore women's lived experiences of recovery from antenatal anxiety. Ten
women who self-reported experiencing mild-moderate antenatal anxiety were recruited
via social media. Interviews were conducted remotely and transcribed verbatim.
