Abstract

Zambian women's pregnancy and childbirth are linked to a variety of cultural and traditional practices, activities and beliefs. These existential events affect the women's health and the newborn's care. In this study we used an interpretative ethnographic design. Individual deep interviews with eight Zambian women were carried out. The formation of family, pregnancy and childbirth are important for strengthening generational traditions and preserving culture. Having many children is especially important for Zambian men as it increases their status in the society. Family continuity is related to the legacy of generations through the spirits of the ancestors.
