This study included 11 women who were already blind when they experienced motherhood, contacted through a database of the association. It was approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the Multidisciplinary Health Institute of the Federal University of Bahia, and only after a favorable opinion did the collection of the narratives begin. A script for characterization of the participants was applied. The information was collected through an open interview, using the Narrative method of life. The analysis of the data obtained came from the discussion about the maternity of the blind woman according to the theoretical reference of the Theory of Transitions of Meleis, and about the category of analysis that emerged from the life narratives: Transition process of the maternity of blind women in perspective of Afaf Meleis and its three subcategories: Experiences experienced by blind women when becoming a mother; Facilities and difficulties of blind women in the context of maternity and Nursing Therapy in the transition of the maternity of blind women. They were discussed in the light of the theory of transitions and with conceptual references. The participants achieved the mastery of the healthy transition to motherhood, were resilient to the situations imposed by life, able to deal with the problems encountered, adapt to change, overcome obstacles and finally respond positively. In discussing the transition process of motherhood from the perspective of the blind woman, in light of the Theory of Transitions, it was shown that the contribution of nursing to transitional care is extremely relevant for blind women who wish to be a mother. It was possible to identify, from the life narratives, the different moments in which the nursing would act to attend the needs of these women and in what moments and situations the nursing care is essential for the process of transition to the maternity of the blind women. Directing a more accurate look at women with disabilities in the assisted communities and health services used by university teaching and supervised internships can be an excellent opportunity to work with dual vulnerability in these cases.
