This article seeks to understand how men that are going to become fathers for the first time in Chile, anticipate fatherhood. To achieve this purpose, 14 men that were close to having their first child were interviewed. Three topics are studied in depth: 1. The expectations surrounding fatherhood, 2. The masculine experiences of pregnancy and 3. The experiences surrounding antenatal health care. The men want to be involved and caring fathers, but still consider that their primary role is to provide. They are very conscious of the protagonism that pregnancy gives to their couples and see themselves as companions in the process. They feel their couples have a physical and direct relationship with their future child, while they can only have an indirect experience mediated by the female body and technology. They value the moments in which they have been able to ‘feel’ the baby (listen to its heartbeats, see it in ultrasounds, feel its movements). They believe it is natural that their couples are the center of attention during prenatal checkups, but some feel patronized by the healthcare professionals. The men perceive the process of waiting for the baby as profoundly differentiated by gender.

“…Dado que el embarazo se encarna y aloja en el cuerpo de la mujer, se evidencia un fuerte centramiento de la investigación biomédica y también del campo de las Ciencias Sociales, en la vivencia subjetiva de la mujer o en la "pareja infértil", quedando la perspectiva y experiencia del varón escasamente explorada Herrera, 2013;Wischmann & Thorn, 2013). La noción de "pareja infértil" concibe a la pareja como una unidad biológica y ha sido un aporte considerable para el reconocimiento de que la infertilidad puede provenir, a nivel orgánico, tanto del varón como de la mujer, desculpabilizándola y relevando el carácter relacional de la dificultad de concebir un hijo/a.…”

In the field of adoption, international and Latin American scientific production has largely addressed the experiences of adoptive mothers, the adoptive family understood as a unit that includes either both members of the couple, or considering more marginally, to mothers of origin and finally, lesbian mothers, appreciating a strong "feminization" of the study of this topic. Research has not paid more attention to parents of origin and the various configurations in adoptive fatherhood. As a result, it has invisibilized the singularity, specificity and heterogeneity of meanings, practices and experiences about birth fathers and adoptive fathers and are still a number of stereotypes and prejudices that limit a more active inclusion of them in the care tasks. Faced with the lack of knowledge and under the premise that studying men and parents in adoption represents a contribution to advance policies and practices of greater responsibility and gender equality, this paper identifies, classifies and analyzes of the findings of studies on masculinity, paternity and adoption, making special emphasis on some results and topics on this phenomenon, in order to visualize some current challenges and prospects for research and psychosocial intervention.

BackgroundMany infertile couples undergo assisted reproductive technology (ART) to increase pregnancy chances, with many of them experiencing psychosocial distress. Although research has been performed on women's experiences of ART, there is limited focus on men.ObjectiveThis systematic review consolidated and synthesized men's experiences with ART to better understand their needs and challenges to support them.Search StrategyNine electronic databases were searched from the inception date until November 2022.Selection CriteriaThis review included published and unpublished primary studies with qualitative methodologies exploring men's experiences with ART.Data Collection and AnalysisThe screening of studies, methodological assessment, data extraction, and analysis were conducted by two reviewers independently. The data were thematically synthesized.Main ResultsFifteen studies were included. An overarching theme of “despair to destiny” was identified, with four synthesized themes: (1) “the roller coaster ride,” (2) “what made it from bad to worse?”, (3) “what kept men going?”, and (4) “hopeful for the future.”ConclusionMen undergoing ART experienced struggles, a transition of emotions, and a need for support as they attempted to cope with unknowns while remaining hopeful for future outcomes. There is a need for health care interventions and policies to address the issue to improve the well‐being of male ART patients. Interventions should be tailored to the specific support groups that cater to the emotional and informational needs of male ART patients. Future research should focus on the influence of cultural sensitivities on men's ART experiences, to tailor support programs to address their psychological needs during ART.
