PHP@worldonline.co.za / This research report consists of two parts: a theoretical introduction and a creative
project. In the theoretical introduction I have examined various pregnancy and child-care
manuals together with popular literature in an attempt to explore some of the
representations of motherhood. The areas I touched on include: pregnancy, labour pain,
natural birth, breastfeeding, postnatal depression, working mothers and child care. The
creative project incorporates all these different facets of motherhood and consists of two
chapters of a novel written in the popular form referred to as “chick lit”.
