Abstract

The purpose of this research was to uncover the structure of the lived experience of living with changing expectations from the perspectives of women with high-risk pregnancies. The researchers’ nursing theoretical perspective is the humanbecoming theory and the Parse research method was used. For the participants, living with changing expectations is foreboding disquietude arising with arduous restrictions, while envisioning the yearned-for with mitigating nurturing engagements. Findings enhance the theory of humanbecoming as well as enhance understanding of the experience of living with changing expectations. Recommendations for future research and practice are discussed.
