Conflictos en parejas a raíz del embarazo.

Abstract

During pregnancy, problems such as conflicts and violence can occur recurrently, which makes it a vital issue to address given the importance of pregnancy in the development of the human being and its reproduction, not only because of the high prevalence of presenting it, but also because of the consequences for the entire family nucleus (Velasco, 2021). For this reason, the objective was to analyze the relationship that the pregnancy process has in couple relationships and the conflicts that it brings with it through qualitative research that allows the design of intervention strategies for pregnant couples. The methodology was qualitative with a sample made up of 3 pregnant couples, to whom a semi-structured interview of 34 questions was applied that explored the perception of couple relationships, perceived support, security provided in the relationship, tastes and interests, coupled with communication, preparation for motherhood, conflicts and the rules and limits within it. The results show how in couple relationships no conflicts were found related to the relationship itself, nor to the gestation process, but more guided towards parenting and decisions around the child. In other words, although there were significant changes in the relationship due to pregnancy, these did not negatively influence the relationship. However, the need to provide parent-child and marital tools that allow the couple to adapt positively to the changes, while allows to strengthen the relationship, without neglecting such essential aspects as the couple's interaction was evidenced.
