When a couple is expecting a child, everyone is concerned about how Mum is coping. But what about Dad?

It’s obvious a new addition to the family affects everyone in the household. Yet in Australia there has never been a concerted effort to understand how pregnancy affects men. Until now.

ABC TV science show Catalyst has launched the nation’s first study into the impact of pregnancy on men’s health. It’s asking dads-to-be and new dads to complete a simple online questionnaire. The results will be featured on the program next year.

My husband Mitch filled out the survey and he says it only takes about 10 minutes to complete. So, ladies, get your partner to jump online and help science help them!

Cheers
