Abstract: Research on women’s lived experiences of their transition to motherhood and the role that spirituality plays in the process of transformation,report how the experiences of motherhood and spirituality are connected and influence each other. Some mothers may struggle through this transformation and therefore highlights the need for midwives to attend to the potential positive and negative roles of spirituality in women’s transition to motherhood. Guidance and early interventions of midwives to address any indications of spiritual struggle in women’s adjustment is vital. The recent development of the four key core spiritual care competencies through the ‘EPICC Standard’(https://blogs.staffs.ac.uk/epicc/files/2019/06/EPICC-Spiritual- Care-Education-Standard.pdf) may assist midwives how to go about, enhance and provide high-quality, compassionate and safe care to mothers who find it difficult to make sense of events that challenge their worldview during transition to motherhood.
