Qualitative study reveals complex attitudes on fertility in married women, suggesting enhanced family planning could improve maternal health.

This study investigates married women's perspectives on fertility and childbearing in Kabul.
Conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 23 married women aged 20-43.
Women were purposively selected to ensure demographic diversity.
Data analyzed using MAXQDA until saturation was reached.
Identified five major categories influencing women's fertility attitudes.
Dominant pronatalist norms coexisted with considerations for maternal health and child well-being.
Emerging reproductive perspectives reflect the social context and potential for informed decision-making.
