“…Here we report a similar finding, in that Family Foundations protected mothers from the putative negative effects of cortisol on maternal BMI. This is also consistent with prior research reporting that greater partner support [8] and positive emotions during discussions with partners [38] are associated with improved dietary intake (higher fiber and lower trans fat intake) [8] and higher levels of walking [8] or leisure time physical activity [39] in women at 6 to 8 months after childbirth as key behaviors associated with improved postpartum weight management. Furthermore, in the general population, stress-management interventions, including mindfulness, resulted in decreases in cortisol awakening responses and smaller increases in weight over 4 months [39].…”

Objective The postpartum period is a key life stage, contributing to increased maternal obesity risk. Current lifestyle interventions do not consider the role of a woman's partner in reducing stress and supporting lifestyle change. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of an intervention that seeks to enhance coparenting relationship quality on maternal BMI from before conception to 12 months post partum and whether the intervention moderated the association of changes in cortisol and BMI. Methods A randomized controlled trial was used to assess an intervention (eight classes: four during and four following pregnancy) focusing on enhancing couple coparenting relationships during pregnancy and post partum (n = 57) compared with standard care (n = 53). Results The main outcome measures were changes in maternal BMI and cortisol. There was a smaller increase in BMI for mothers in intervention compared with control groups (mean [SE], −1.03 [0.42] kg/m2, p = 0.015). There was an interaction between intervention status and cortisol change predicting BMI change (p = 0.026), such that cortisol change significantly predicted BMI change among mothers in the control (p = 0.049) but not the intervention groups (p = 0.204). Conclusions A coparenting intervention improved maternal postpartum BMI, with this effect potentially related to ameliorating the negative effect of stress, as measured by cortisol, on BMI. The role of enhanced coparenting in improving maternal anthropometry warrants urgent attention.

“…Outro estudo americano incluído nesta revisão acerca do aumento da insatisfação conjugal e de conflitos após o nascimento de um filho, relata que a prática de exercício físico materno tem potencial para melhorar as relações familiares durante o puerpério, logo, pode ser um fator de proteção em situações em que as interações familiares são conflituosas ou estressantes (Hutt, et al, 2017). Acrescenta-se que a prática de exercícios físicos, desde que não contraindicada, além de melhorar as interações familiares, auxilia na recuperação física e psíquica da puérpera, pois, diminui o estresse, sintomas depressivos e fortalece o vínculo do binômio materno-infantil.…”

Objetivo: sistematizar as evidências disponíveis na literatura sobre a experiência do puerpério para as famílias. Metodologia: revisão integrativa nas bases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, Cumulative Index to Nursing & Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Scopus, Scientific Electronic Library Online e ScienceDirect e na Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde. Nas bases e portal pesquisados, foram feitos cruzamentos utilizando os descritores e palavras-chaves: famílias, relacionamento familiar, relação familiar, dinâmica familiar, período pós-parto, puerpério, pós-parto da mulher, habitação, domicílio, domiciliar, doméstico, apartamento, apartamentos, casa, casas, lar, lares, moradia, moradias, experência de vida, e acontecimentos que mudam a vida. Resultados: a amostra foi constituída por oito artigos que apresentaram valores culturais repassados de uma geração para outra, que influenciam a família na criação de novos membros; a melhoria das relações familiares através da prática de exercícios físicos pelas puérperas; o uso de mídias sociais e das ferramentas: Modelo Calgary de Avaliação da Família, Modelo Calgary de Intervenção Familiar e Newborn Behavioral Observation, para apoiar a prática profissional baseada em evidências. Considerações finais: as transições no ciclo da vida, embora façam parte do processo de desenvolvimento familiar, em geral são acompanhadas por conflitos marcantes. As transformações ocorridas no puerpério, especificamente, afetam a dinâmica familiar, requerendo dos profissionais de saúde, sobretudo das enfermeiras, suporte para a adaptação à nova realidade.

Background Challenges with engaging in postnatal physical activity can negatively affect the health of women and their families. This study investigated women’s physical activity decision-making processes and strategies to support their physical activity as part of a healthy postpartum transition. Methods Thirty healthy women with infants aged 2.5–12 months completed 3-day activity diaries and an individual interview. Using Glaser and Charmaz’s grounded theory methodology, the core category, reconciling relationships with physical activity, was constructed, which explained women’s processes of postnatal physical activity decision-making. Results Through reconciling relationships with physical activity, women discerned the types of physical activity they were comfortable pursuing at various points in the postpartum transition. Based on the meaning physical activity held for participants and their views about risks, supports, and resources, women gauged their capacity and the workability of their physical activity desires. Most women were uncertain of their capacity (physical, emotional) to return to physical activity and viewed the achievement of several or all of their desired physical activities as unworkable. Only a small group of women fully pursued the desirable physical activities they viewed as important for their well-being. Women adjusted the strategies they used to achieve physical activity when their expectations of capacity and workability did not align with their experiences. Some women lacked access to resources or supportive messaging about postpartum physical activity and downgraded their physical activity pursuit after negative personal physical or childcare experiences. Conclusions Women can benefit from discussions about physiological birth recovery and navigating community and peer resources to support physical activity access and the safe return to physical activity following birth.
