I am looking for any research on vision of own motherhood in young childless women (adolescence, emerging adulthood, early adulthood). I am interested how young women see their future motherhood and the way to become mother.
Important questions for me are:
1) When young women want to have first and last child?
2) How they want to prepare to being a mother?
3) What are their fears about being a mother?
4) How they expect to combine being a mother with other ares of their life (work, romantic relationship, hobby)?
5) What they are thinking about changes in relationship with husband/partner after delivery?
6) How they want to spend time with their children?
7) What they are thinking about their impact on the development of their child?
I need this to my PhD thesis.
Thank You for support!

This has allot of foundational theory too it. Maternal instinct can lead to hazards depending on the environment (diverse) {teenage is bullying...}. Referrals if it is a choice and history (psychoanalysis in educative professionalism). ex of choice are planned parenthood, groups, A lanon...). Stages of development comes to mind in preschool jitters on the first day (Parenting). Good luck!

Michael, thank you for this theoretical perspective. It gives me some directions for further exploration.
There are huge cross-cultural variations - so, what is your population of interest ? Western world?
Im a from Poland, so I am most interested in European or North American research.
Hello Kamil,
My Ph.D thesis was on social construction of motherhood in women with higher education - with or without career. Some of your questions (or similar ones) are addressed in my research. Maybe I can help with some informations about theoretical foundation of the research, methodology, etc.
