What men say about pregnancy, birth and parenthood.
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.
