Abstract	Background: The ability of women with an intellectual disability (ID) to fulfill their role as mothers is also influenced by medical personnel. This exploratory research study's objective was to investigate medical personnel's knowledge, attitudes, and experiences with regard to mothers with ID. Method: The survey was completed by 175 medical personnel. A statistical analysis was undertaken using descriptive statistics, crosstab analysis, and a Pearson chi-square test (p < 0.05). The open-ended questions and clarification/explanation items were coded following content analysis. Results: The participants' knowledge about services for mothers with ID was minimal. The participants' attitudes provided a mixed picture. Although they believed that women with ID could be successful mothers, many of them also believed that pregnant women with ID should have an abortion. Conclusions: There is an urgent need to incorporate information about mothers with ID into training and further professional development for medical personnel. (As Provided).
