| Abstract: | Our purpose was to explore the pregnancy experiences of Australian women attending a specialized childbirth and mental illness (CAMI) antenatal clinic. A qualitative exploratory design was selected to give voice to women with severe mental illness receiving antenatal care. Telephone interviews with 41 women, 24 primiparous and 17 multiparous, were analyzed using thematic analysis. Three themes emerged: “building relationships,” “acknowledging me as a person with special needs,” and “respecting and understanding without stigma.” Findings offer insight into care experiences possible within a multidisciplinary model developed to address psychiatric and obstetric needs of pregnant women with severe mental illness.
