The study described in this paper is exploratory in character. We made use of in-depth interviews, which are well-suited to meet the purpose of this study, as well as addressing private and sensitive topics such as wanting to conceive a child.
The findings should not be interpreted as conclusive, but should be seen as a picture depicting a deeper understanding of the rationale behind nutrition behaviours of women with a child wish and pregnant women. No conclusions can be drawn from this study with respect to characteristics over the population. This is a subject for quantitative research.
