Abstract

This study aimed to examine and retrospectively compare the lifestyles of adult women before and during pregnancy; to describe individual and relational adaptation in the transition to motherhood and obstetric outcomes; and to examine the associations between lifestyle habits and these outcomes. The sample comprised 98 mothers, most of them married or cohabiting, nulliparous, with completed secondary or higher education. Most of them had planned their pregnancy. A questionnaire on sociodemographic information, the Emotional Assessment Scale, the Brief Symptom Inventory, and adjectival scales to assess marital and parental domains were employed. Results indicated a positive change in lifestyle adopted during pregnancy compared to the preceding period. The adoption of healthy lifestyle habits was significantly associated with lower psychological distress and positive emotional reactivity. These findings highlight the importance of assessing different components of lifestyle and their association with diverse individual and relational indicators to gain a broader understanding of women’s adaptation in the transition to motherhood.
