After verbatim transcription, the text was analyzed in order to identify themes of meaning and a conclusive interpretation of the explored phenomenon. RESULTS: Experiences of extraordinary exposure challenged the @entity1 with @entity164 1 @entity6 in their transition to early motherhood. The exposure included a struggle with breastfeeding, although with a driving force to succeed.
