Abstract
This paper discusses the need for multi-cultural methodologies that develop knowledge about the maternity experience of migrant women themselves and that are attuned to women's maternity related requirements under multi-cultural conditions. It challenges the positivist hegemony of previously completed research on migrant women by reflecting on my own experience as a researcher grounded in a broadly-based, pluralistic set of critical epistemologies that allowed me to uncover the issues and contexts that impacted on the experience of migrant women.
