The current study aims to deeply understand the experiences of mothers having a child with Down syndrome. Qualitative research methods were employed in this study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted online with 5 mothers who have primary school-age children with Down syndrome. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyze the data and identify super-ordinate themes. In this thesis, 6 superordinate themes emerged, which were (1) the decision of giving birth, (2) enmeshed boundaries with the child, (3) struggle over education, (4) characteristics of the child, (5) the ideal image of the motherhood and (6) mothers’ perception of the fathers. These emerging themes were examined in the context of existing literature.
