“…Another study described the experience of mothers while living in a ‘transit-country’ [ 34 ]. A number of studies examined the parenthood experience broadly [ 20 , 24 , 25 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 41 , 47 , 48 , 50 – 64 ], some were specific to the time around birth [ 65 – 70 ], and some discussed aspects related to identity and meanings of parenthood in the context of migration [ 22 , 34 , 36 , 37 , 47 , 48 , 61 , 64 , 67 , 71 – 79 ]. Some studies focused on parenthood experiences under more challenging circumstances including single parenthood [ 23 , 40 – 42 , 58 ], teenage pregnancy [ 69 , 80 – 83 ], having an undocumented or mixed status family [ 21 , 84 – 96 ], reunification with children who migrated at a later time [ 97 ], and mothering in the context of conjugal violence [ 98 – 100 ].…”
