The process by which a mother overcomes difficulties that she faces in the early stages of childrearing was investigated. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 12 such mothers. Date were analyzed, using a modified grounded theory approach. As a result, three stages, twelve categories and 37 concepts regarding this process were formulated. The three stages comprised the following periods: initial Psychologi overcoming confusion; and having overcome such confusion and internalizing the role of a mother. The difficulties that a mother faced during the first period included not only adaptation to she new circumstances of raising a child,and the existential confusion about how to live her new life. The process of a new mother overcoming her difficulties could be formulated as a process of internalizing her new role as a mother and adapting herself to this role. Moreover making future career plans and taking pride in being a mother. helped to complete this adaptation process. After it was completed,motherhood became a reality,and the role of the mother was internalized.
