title: What men say about pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
abstract: Fathers' experiences during their transition to parenthood have been less well documented than those of mothers. This study explored the perceptions of three groups of fathers: fathers were asked to complete a questionnaire covering their experiences during their partner's pregnancy, during antenatal preparation programs or during birth. Fathers in all three groups were asked to respond to a follow-up questionnaire about parenthood. Their views are reported.
