1. What motivated us to do the study?
- Browsing through different social media platforms, we noticed that society
strongly opposes it. The one that caught our attention was breaking the stigma of
women's sole purpose to have a child.
- Many influencers like Angel Dei and many more have shared their perspective
and decision with regard to giving birth. So we wanted to give light to the
experiences and we wanted to have a deeper understanding of the reasons for their
choices. To make it more interesting, we chose to explore the lived experience of
women who are already married to gain insight into such a phenomenon.
- And also, we have relatives and
2. Why do you think that society or families are pressuring married women to have
children/ start a family?
- because of the influence of Christianity, the fixed ideology pa a society marriage
is only about starting a family through bearing or having children. Because of
that, there were heavy expectations that were given to them and makes them
pressured as they are the center cause of starting a family.
3. Why did you choose this age range?
- We chose women ages 25-45 years old because based on the study by Watson
(2018), women are the most fertile and have the best chance of getting pregnant in
their 20s and so we wanted to ensure that their decision is completely voluntary
and that is based on their desire to be childfree and not on their physical abilities
or limitations to reproduce.
4. How do they define family, how do they define marriage, and what motivates them to get
married?

themselves but others that they are more than that.

Contraceptives are used to prevent pregnancies.
Why may Mothers role na theme, eh these women choose not to be mothers
- We came up with the main theme “Mother’s role” based on our research question
“What are the perceptions of Filipino married women about having a child?” - Mothers role was the best term we could think of to summarize the whole idea to
the questions regarding their perspective on being a mom, what they believe the
duties are of a mother, and the interaction between a mother and a child, so
overall it basically falls under the what they believe a mother should be hence
“Mothers role”
7. the root cause of its taboo
-
Because of the country’s history of having conservative culture and its uncertain
standard or old standard about women
8. Hayford argues that education can be linked to a desire to be child-free.
-
There are usually wider situations na pwede natinng maiapply dito kasi it requires
deeper discussions regarding this question about the link of education and being
childfree pero giving an example po, based on statistic research that women who
receive better education and has higher education qualities are often to become
more goal oriented in life in regards to building their career.
