Abstract
The differences in maternal identity and early mothering behavior were compared in previously infertile and never infertile women in this pilot study to evaluate the relationship between previous infertility and the early maternal experience. Women were tested by questionnaire, observation, and interview. No significant differences were noted between groups for quantitative early mothering behavioral measurements. Previously infertile mothers demonstrated lower postpartum maternal identity scores, delay in preparation of the home environment, and less self-confidence.
