Abstract

Despite the recognized link between prenatal alcohol consumption and various congenital anomalies, the negative consequences for women's own health and family health, as well as the work done in healthcare to prevent alcohol in pregnancy, the acceptance of alcohol use during pregnancy persists in numerous communities around the world. Knowledge about women's alcohol use in pregnancy and how it relates to the social and cultural context they are part of is important to help and support women in abstaining during pregnancy. This meta-ethnography aims to offer a novel interpretation and conceptual understanding of the experiences of women who consume alcohol during pregnancy by synthesizing insights from existing qualitative studies.
