Promoting and Involving (Future) Fathers in Pregnancy Medical Monitoring
Pregnancy is now part of a double process of medicalisation and sanitarisation that takes the form of surveillance and self-control of women’s bodies, and only women’s bodies. While medical and reproductive norms are based on an heterosexual sexuality model, the role and place of (future) fathers in...

Si les normes médicales et reproductives s’appuient sur un modèle de sexualité hétérosexuelle, dans le suivi de grossesse, le rôle et la place des (futurs) pères ne sont paradoxalement pas ou peu définis. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique menée de l’automne 2021 au printemps 2022 dans une grande maternité de l’est francilien, cet article examine les représentations et les pratiques des professionnels de santé de la maternité vis-à-vis des (futurs) pères. Peu présents et peu visibles, leur « banale absence » n’interroge pas pour autant les professionnels de santé, contribuant ainsi à renforcer la division sexuée du travail de grossesse.Cairn free access |

Pregnancy is now part of a double process of medicalisation and sanitarisation that takes the form of surveillance and self-control of women’s bodies, and only women’s bodies. While medical and reproductive norms are based on an heterosexual sexuality model, the role and place of (future) fathers in the monitoring of pregnancy is paradoxically undefined or insufficiently defined. Based on an ethnographic study conducted between fall 2021 and spring 2022 in a large maternity hospital in the east of the Île-de-France region, this article examines the representations and practices of maternity medical staff towards (future) fathers. Fathers are rarely present or visible, yet their “banal absence” does not raise questions among healthcare professionals, thus reinforcing the gendered division of pregnancy labour. |
