Detailed description
Transition to motherhood, being one of the most important life incidents in the lives of women embodies the transition of role from a known situation to an unknown one. Being a special period in which women hold the role of motherhood together with the birth of the child; try to adapt the new role and reform relationship with the family members at the same time, transition to motherhood is a progressive period experienced by many women.

Thus, transition to motherhood is quite significant both for mother and other family members and the new-born infant and needs to be discussed.

It will tested the hypotheses that there is no difference between the intervention and control groups of pregnant women after the intervention in terms of adaptation to pregnancy, adaptation to the postpartum period and newborn perception.
Interventions
The women in the intervention groups will administer a seven-session intervention program in addition to the routine care they will receive. The training including preparation practices for the transition with the mother, which is planned to last for 7 weeks encompassed providing the women with an educational programme that were created to increasing women's adaptation to motherhood and perceptions of newborn baby Nursing-recommended follow-up and physical examination of the pregnant woman will be performed at 28th and 34th week of pregnancy.

|---|---|---|
| Adaptasion with pregnancy before intervention | 28th gestational weeks | Adaptasion with pregnancy period will be evaluated with Prenatal Self Evaluation Questionnaire. The scale was developed (1979) in order to evaluate the adaptation of women in the prenatal period to motherhood. The scale has 7 sub-dimensions. For the whole scale, a minimum of 79 and a maximum of 316 points can be obtained. Low scores show that adjustment to pregnancy is high. |
| Adaptasion with pregnancy after intervention | 34th gestational weeks | The Prenatal Self Evaluation Questionnaire will be used to compare the fits to pregnancy between 28th and 34th weeks of gestation. The scale was developed (1979) in order to evaluate the adaptation of women in the prenatal period to motherhood. The scale has 7 sub-dimensions.
