Abstract:

BackgroundDespite growing interest in men's perinatal mental health, we still know little about whether becoming a new father is associated with increases in psychological distress.AimsTo use prospective longitudinal data to investigate whether becoming a first-time expectant (partner pregnant) and/or new father (child <1 year) is associated with increases in depression and anxiety.MethodMen were aged 20–24 years at baseline (n = 1162). Levels of depression and anxiety were measured at four time points over 12 years. Over this time, 88 men were expectant fathers, 108 men were new fathers an

Abstract:

<em>Pregnancy and its termination known as abortion has become a perennial topic of discourse. This has brought up several controversial issues, such as the rights of the expectant father in the abortion process which has been downplayed in virtually all jurisdictions. This has raised several questions in this research, for instance: should a pregnant woman be allowed and given the right to terminate the pregnancy without considering the interest of the expectant father? Using library-based approach which is doctrinal in nature, this article examined rights of the expectant father in abortion

Abstract:

   Fatherhood is a rite of passage that is a silent transition for many men. The birth of a child also creates the birth of a father and a lifetime commitment. Expectant and new fathers' needs are often not recognised or understood. These "blind spots" can potentially place numerous relationships at risk. This paper will look at the common issues that expectant and new fathers identify as concerns. Research will be presented that highlights the supports needed to enhance fathering awareness and confidence.

AbstractDespite the significant health benefits of breastfeeding for the mother and the infant, economic class and race disparities in breastfeeding rates persist.

The re-invention of fathers as sensitive, involved “new men” is a social phenomenon that has largely excluded marginalized and low-income fathers.

AbstractObjectiveThe current study prospectively examines the intra-uterine hypothesis by comparing maternal, paternal and grandparental lineage influences on children's diet and also maternal–child aggregation patterns during pregnancy and early childhood.DesignPrenatal dietary information was available for expectant mothers, fathers and up to four grandparents through a detailed validated semi-quantitative FFQ. At 6-year follow-up, when children averaged 5 years of age, dietary information was re-collected for mothers and a subset of maternal grandmothers using the same FFQ. Child's FFQ vers

Abstract:

The fetus and fetal development were discussed in early imperial Chinese texts of various genres, which often approached these matters in one or more of the following terms: (1) the cosmic (human life begins and matures in the same way as the rest of the universe, following the interplay of yin and yang); (2) the correlative (the fetus grows according to the Five Phases, all things corresponding to them going through a cycle of changes that give rise to and diminish one another); and (3) the Indic-Buddhist (the fetus comes into being and suffers as a result of karma).

Abstract:

An increasing body of evidence points towards the crucial impact of the first thousand days of the human life, starting as from conception. The transition from young adult to mother of father might encompass excitement and joy, but also turmoil and arousal. Especially in those endorsing a socio-economic and/or mental vulnerability, the pre- and perinatal period might induce or increase psychiatric problems, which often remains under the radar due to lack of knowledge, embarrassment for ‘not being happy’ to become parent, or overlap with symptoms accompanying pregnancy. Postnatal mental problem

Abstract:

Today, multiple legal theories of parenthood interact to encompass all sorts of families. Adults and children bound through adoption, step-parenting, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) demand familial recognition through some combination of biology, functionality, technology, and intent.In the context of children born through ART, many scholars have proposed a more robust use of intent as a rule for identifying legal parents. When used to identify parents, intent asks who planned to become the parent of a child, and is often helpful when multiple adults simultaneously agreed to bring
