This study aims to describe the perspectives of women in relation to lifestyle support experiences after pregnancy. Methods: Qualitative study design with six semi-structured in-depth interviews was used to collect the data among beneficiaries who received the support in physical activity, diet and stress. Manifest and latent content analysis methods were used to analyze the data.  Results: Multicomponent lifestyle intervention utilizing motivational interviewing approach was experienced as flexible, considerate, and inclusive.Maternal struggles profoundly contributed to relapse, which appeared to be a common reoccurrence. Mobilizing family support helped to battle the maternal struggles and to facilitate healthy lifestyle behavior, thereby promoting individual and family wellbeing.  Conclusion: Multicomponent lifestyle support in combination with person and family centered care approach has a great potential to help women during their transition into motherhood.
