'My biggest fear is that people will forget about him': Mothers' emotional transitions after terminating their pregnancy for medical reasons.

Aims And Objectives: To explore women's emotional responses throughout the process of terminating a pregnancy for medical reasons.

Background: Making the choice to terminate a desired pregnancy for medical reasons has a negative impact on women's health, as it is a distressing process that involves making hard decisions and readjusting one's expectations of an idealised pregnancy.

Methods: A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted following the COREQ checklist.

Validation and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the questionnaire for assessing the childbirth experience (QACE).

Objective: When evaluating childbirth experience, some of the factors considered by women include their previous births experience, pain management during birth, and companion and healthcare professional support received. The objective of this paper is to validate the Questionnaire for Assessing the Childbirth Experience (QACE) into the Spanish population by assessing its psychometric properties.

Methods: Due to the differences between the Spanish and English languages, a careful translation process was the first step to making the QACE useable to Spanish speaking cohorts, once thoroughly translated their conceptual equivalence was evaluated by a group of experts and tested later via interviews with postpartum women for comprehensibility evaluation.
