Core Concept of the GT Analysis showing the tension between different aspects of the dimensions of motherhood found in the analysis. The analysis showed that the attitude towards alcohol consumption during pregnancy was clearly shaped by self-perception as a (expectant) mother and by the personal idea of the mother's role. The redefinition of one's own role seems to be a dynamic process, especially for women in their first pregnancy. It became clear that pregnant women, in the process of redefining their own role, found themselves in a triangle of tension between the well-being of the child, individual self-image and the needs that arose from the new role as mother-to-be. Depending on which aspect dominated in the pregnant woman, different reasons were identified which led to single or multiple occurrences of alcohol consumption (Binder et al., 2020).
