Moreover, depressive symptoms during pregnancy predicted reduced mindfulness capacities (non-judging of and non-reactivity to inner experience) in the postpartum period.Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of promoting mindfulness during pregnancy as a means to prevent and manage postpartum mood disorders, highlighting the dynamic interplay between mental health symptoms and mindfulness traits.","PeriodicalId":47721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144022280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Intolerance of uncertainty (IU) is a well-known feature of anxiety disorders and has recently been identified as a risk factor for the worsening of anxiety during the postpartum period. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a first-line treatment for perinatal anxiety, and CBT specifically targeting IU in non-perinatal populations has demonstrated positive findings for reducing anxiety. As such, the objective of our study is to examine whether CBT targeting IU in pregnancy can reduce the risk of postpartum anxiety.Methods: This protocol paper outlines a proof-of-concept randomised clinical trial assessing the effectiveness of a newly developed CBT for IU (CBT-IU) protocol to reduce the risk of postpartum anxiety. Pregnant individuals identified at increased risk for postpartum anxiety (defined as a baseline score of 64 or greater on the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale) will be randomised to receive CBT-IU or care as usual (CAU) during pregnancy and will be followed through the postpartum period (6-12 weeks). The CBT-IU protocol is a weekly, six session treatment, which includes psychoeducation, behavioural experiments, imaginal exposure, and problem-solving to target IU.Discussion: To our knowledge, this will be the first study to investigate the efficacy of a CBT protocol aimed at reducing the risk of developing postpartum anxiety. Establishing this protocol as a potentially preventative strategy will offer a new option to improve the mental health and well-being of mothers and their infants.Clinical trial registration: Trial Number is NCT05691140 and accessible at https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05691140.","PeriodicalId":47721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143990226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Four semi-structured interviews were conducted with each woman, one in each trimester and one 5-7 months after birth. The interviews were transcribed verbatim, and a phenomenological interpretative analysis was undertaken.Results: Three main themes emerged: 'In the beginning' (experience and difficulties at first trimester); 'The prenatal bond compensates for the absence' (progress of pregnancy and acceptance of non-genetic link); ''It's my, mine but…' (experienced early motherhood after delivery). This qualitative study reveals changes in initial perceptions and beliefs about the importance of a genetic link during pregnancy and after childbirth. The prenatal bond and early parental care seem to have helped to accept the absence of genetic affinity. However, younger women even after giving birth expressed the hope of having a child genetically related to them. Also, some concerns that initially exist reappear after the child is born.Conclusion: The study's findings have important implications for Assisted Reproduction Centers (ARC) professionals to understand the needs and worries of women who decide to conceive through oocyte donation. In addition, the study offers women considering oocyte donation an insight into the experiences of other women who already have a child.","PeriodicalId":47721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-20"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144018548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These findings align with the concept of Maternal Compassion Preoccupation, extending its relevance beyond early motherhood and into challenging circumstances. The study thus proposes a new application of this concept: Maternal Compassion Preoccupation in times of conflict.Conclusion: This concept of Maternal Compassion Preoccupation in times of conflict offers insights for understanding maternal caregiving during wartime and suggests a new perspective on interventions such as peer support groups and mindfulness training, to mitigate burnout and enhance maternal well-being.

However, how FOC manifests during different types of crises has not been extensively investigated. This study aims to examine the contribution of women's perinatal characteristics, resilience, social support from their family, partners, and friends, and concern for the foetus to their FOC, and to compare their FOC in two different crisis periods: the COVID-19 pandemic and the Israel-Hamas war.Methods: Pregnant women were recruited through social media during two periods: One hundred and ninety-one women were recruited during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 173 during the Israel-Hamas war. The participants were 20-46 years old and completed self-report questionnaires.Results: Being pregnant during the COVID-19 pandemic, poorer physical health, at-risk pregnancy, and lower resilience were associated with higher FOC. Furthermore, women perceived greater support from their family and partner, higher concerns for their foetus, and higher FOC during COVID-19 than during wartime.Conclusions: The results highlight the vulnerability of having at-risk factors such as worse physical health and at-risk pregnancy, as well as the essential role of resilience as a powerful resource in women's FOC. They uncover that FOC is a context-dependent phenomenon and may be expressed to different extents under different circumstances. Professionals working with pregnant women should consider intervention programmes to develop psychological resilience to reduce the risk of severe FOC.","PeriodicalId":47721,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143804478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our aim is to study reproductive wishes and fertility preservation outcome in transmasculine people over time.Methods: Transmasculine individuals at the Centre of Expertise on Gender Dysphoria (CEGD) in Amsterdam were included in a prospective follow-up cohort study for gynaecological care and received follow-up questionnaires after 6, 12 and 24 months after fertility counselling regarding their reproductive wishes and fertility preservation. Reproductive outcomes were collected from the patient's medical files.Results: In total, 317 had a fertility consultation at the CEGD, of whom 10% underwent oocyte cryopreservation, 4% cortex preservation, 1% carried a pregnancy, and 12% underwent an ovariectomy. The most common reproductive choices are opting to preserve their internal organs and no fertility preservation wish. During a 2-year follow-up period, reproductive wishes changed in 20% of the participants. This was not related to age, testosterone use or prior puberty suppression. However, there was a trend suggesting that younger age and prior puberty suppression were related to changes in reproductive wishes.Conclusion: This study showed reproductive wishes of transmasculine individuals over time.

However, limited attention has been given to the aspirations of LGB parents for more children. This study explored the multifaceted factors associating with aspirations for additional children among Israeli LGB parents through assisted reproduction, investigating the contribution of sociodemographic variables, parental experiences, as well as social and cultural factors to these aspirations.Methods: A survey involving 234 cisgender LGB parents in Israel (aged 24-55; M = 40.23, SD = 6.59) was conducted from November 2022 to February 2024. Participants completed questionnaires assessing their desire, intention, and estimated likelihood to have more children alongside various sociodemographic, parental experience, social, and cultural variables.Results: Hierarchical regressions revealed that sociodemographic variables, namely younger parent age, fewer current children, higher importance of religious values, and better economic status, were associated with stronger aspirations for additional children. Social (discrimination, enacted stigma, social support) and cultural (pronatalism) factors did not significantly contribute beyond sociodemographic factors.Conclusion: Unlike research on parenthood aspirations among childfree LGB individuals, social and cultural factors played a less significant role in shaping aspirations for more children among LGB individuals who are already parents.
