Psychological well-being led to good maternal mental health during pregnancy. It was important to know the needs of pregnant mothers for their psychological well-being. This study aimed to understand pregnant mothers’ needs to fulfill their psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic. A qualitative descriptive study design with semi-structured interviews was adopted. The study was conducted at community health centers in the city of Tangerang, Indonesia. In-depth interviews were conducted with 22 mothers who were pregnant. Data were collected from June to August 2022. Interviews were conducted face to face, audio recorded, and transcribed verbatim. Data were analyzed thematically to develop major themes and subthemes. The initial findings revealed 198 codes, which were then reduced to 122 codes, 73 sub-categories, 30 categories, and 6 themes. There were six themes related to pregnant mothers’ needs for psychological wellbeing during COVID-19, i.e., understanding of psychological changes, awareness to accept their pregnancy, communication skills, good prenatal care, self-healing, and good planning. Care for pregnant mothers needs to develop between physical and psychological aspects. This will help the pregnant mother go through the stages of her pregnancy well, prepare for the delivery process, readiness for the puerperium phase, and minimize mental health problems.
