人们普遍认为，向为人父母的过渡时期是一个脆弱性增加的时期，往往伴随着压力。阿比丁认为父母的压力是指在适应父母角色方面的特殊困难。大多数关于父母养育要求引起的心理困扰的研究都调查了压力对功能失调的亲子关系的发展以及对成人和儿童精神病理学的影响。研究主要集中在母亲的产后经验，较少关注一直致力于产妇产前特征与随后的父母压力和产妇产前预测因子的研究很少。此外，还没有研究专门针对第一次做母亲的样本来研究这种关联。本研究采用两个时间段的观察性前瞻性研究设计，旨在探讨母亲的依恋风格、母亲对胎儿的产前依恋和妊娠期（妊娠7个月）的二元适应的作用，以及它们对分娩后3个月的父母压力的潜在独特贡献。结果表明，产前措施之间的显着相关性。母亲依恋类型（尤其是关系焦虑）与产前依恋和二元适应呈负相关，与二元适应呈正相关。每个被调查的变量也是很好的预测育儿压力3个月后分娩。调查结果表明，这些方面如何可以被视为风险因素的过渡到母亲和在一开始的出现，特别是与第一次母亲。
The transition to parenthood is widely considered a period of increased vulnerability often accompanied by stress. Abidin conceived parenting stress as referring to specific difficulties in adjusting to the parenting role. Most studies of psychological distress arising from the demands of parenting have investigated the impact of stress on the development of dysfunctional parent–child relationships and on adult and child psychopathology. Studies have largely focused on mothers’ postnatal experience; less attention has been devoted to maternal prenatal characteristics associated with subsequent parental stress and studies of maternal prenatal predictors are few. Furthermore, no studies have examined that association exclusively with samples of first-time mothers. With an observational prospective study design with two time periods, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of mothers’ attachment style, maternal prenatal attachment to the fetus and dyadic adjustment during pregnancy (7th months of gestation) and their potential unique contribution to parenting stress 3 months after childbirth in a sample of nulliparous women. Results showed significant correlations between antenatal measures. Maternal attachment style (especially relationship anxiety) was negatively correlated with prenatal attachment and with dyadic adjustment; positive correlations resulted between prenatal attachment and dyadic adjustment. Each of the investigated variables was also good predictor of parenting stress 3 months after childbirth. Findings suggested how these dimensions could be considered as risk factors in the transition to motherhood and in the very beginning of the emergence of the caregiving system, especially with first-time mothers.
