Study highlights crucial role of fathers in pregnancy and child outcomes

 

“New research shines a spotlight on the significant and often under-recognized role that fathers' health and well-being play in shaping pregnancy and child outcomes. The study, published in The Lancet, challenges the traditional approach to pregnancy care which focuses solely on mothers' behaviors… it is becoming clear that fathers have a real impact on pregnancy. Their own health and behaviors like their weight, whether they use substances, and their age can influence pregnancy and child outcomes - not just the pregnant person's.”
