The contexts for becoming a parent are ever-changing, bringing new
opportunities and new challenges. Becoming a Parent examines the
transition to parenthood from diverse perspectives - it is about
becoming, rather than being a parent. Drawing on a large body of
theory and research, the book explores universal psychological
journeys as well as the specific challenges faced by those whose
pathways to parenthood are non-traditional or medically
complicated. It also examines the unprecedented reproductive
choices in contemporary society and provides a comprehensive
overview of the personal and social impact of reproductive
technologies. Pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood (the
so-called 'fourth trimester') are discussed in detail and
illustrated with case anecdotes and personal stories of people with
'high-risk' pregnancies, fathers as well as mothers, adoptive
parents, and LGBTQ as well as heterosexual adults. It concludes
with social and policy initiatives that can better support positive
adaptation during this crucial life transition.
