description The role of fathers prior to conception, during pregnancy, and in the post-partum period has generally not been a key consideration for Obstetric Physicians. However, this view may need challenging. This paper outlines the key importance of fathers in all phases of obstetric medical care. We review the contribution of paternal factors such as genetics, health, and lifestyle to fetal development, pregnancy complications, and maternal and neonatal wellbeing. The role of fathers in complex care decisions during pregnancy is also reviewed. Postpartum, fathers have a substantial role in shaping the future of the family unit through encouraging breastfeeding and creating a supportive environment for motherhood. This review proposes areas for future research and recommends an evidence-based change in practice in obstetric medicine that focuses on recognizing the role of fathers in the pregnancy journey.
