Our purpose in conducting this study was to explore relationships among family dynamics, parent-fetal attachment, and infant temperament in 230 mother-father pairs from the third trimester of pregnancy to when their infant was 7 to 9 months old. Mothers reported increased role conflict during this time, as well as more role conflict than their partners. First-time parents (n = 133) perceived more positive family dynamics than second-time parents (n = 97), as well as greater parent-fetal attachment. Maternal-fetal attachment was greater than paternal-fetal attachment. Health care providers can provide support for new parents as they negotiate new role relationships.
