Detailed description

Development of Somali-adapted Mindfetalness, initial data collection: Pregnant women or recently given birth. Women born in Somalia with a singleton pregnancy from gestational week 28+0. Interviews focusing on fetal movements, reactions to fetal movements, and facilitating and inhibiting factors for seeking care for pregnancy-related conditions will be carried out. After transcription verbatim, the text will be analyzed with modified content analysis as described by Elo \& Kyngäs. A before-after study: Population: Women born in Somalia registered at one of the 31 antenatal clinics where under 2019 ten or more women were registered. The registration will be either 1/1 2022 to 31/12 2023 or 1/1 2015 and 31/12 2019 (1/1 2020 to 31/12 2021 has been omitted to diminish a possible confounding effect of the COVID-19 pandemic.) Intervention: In the chosen 31 antenatal clinics, midwives will receive an education in Somali-adapted Mindfetalness. Moreover, each pregnant woman registered after 1/1 2022 and before 31/12 2023, will receive a pamphlet, introduction to Mindfetalness by her midwife during the gestational-week 25 visit. The pregnant woman will well get access to a website concerning Mindfetalness. The pregnant women will be encouraged to start practicing Somali-adapted Mindfetalness during gestational week 28.
