Introduction
It is hypothesized that social support has a positive effect on psychological and emotional well-being of pregnant women by buffering the impact of life stress.
Little research has been done to examine social support during pregnancy and the pregnancy experiences of women in poor rural communities.

Conclusion
Photovoice encouraged the participants to share their pregnancy experiences and to describe their social support networks.
Sharing experiences and worries with other pregnant women could be an important form of social support during pregnancy.
Support groups for poor pregnant women living in rural areas could contribute to a better insight in the needs of these women.
