Recently, the birth rate of congenitally anomalic babies is increasing in Korea. But there are few studies and articles in nursing field. So nurses are having difficulties in caring those mothers. This study is to reveal experiences of the mothers with congenitally anomalic babies. Subjects were six and data were gathered by interviews. Data were analyzed by Giorgi’s method. Mother’s responses were organized into five categories-shock, sadness, expectation, attribution and loss of confidence on future pregnancies. Loss of confidence on future pregnancies were categories which were not found in foreign articles. Based on the result of this study, author recommend that another studies which deal only same anomaly will be done, and genetic counseling system will be organized in hospitals.
