The aim of this study was to identify primary concerns of mothers later in the first post\u2010partum year, changes over time, and factors that were associated with relatively intense concerns, including infant (difficult) temperament, hours employed out of the home and obstetrical complications during pregnancy or childbirth.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method\u2003<\/jats:bold> Data were obtained from 366 first\u2010time (Israeli) mothers at 3 and 6 months post\u2010partum by employing a new tool, the Mothers' Concern Questionnaire, along with standardized questionnaires, administered by phone.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2003<\/jats:bold> Analyses revealed six dimensions of concerns (Family Health, Return to Work, Mother's Well\u2010being, Relationships\/Support, Infant Care, and Spouse). Of these, issues related to returning to work and family health were of most concern, and ratings were higher at 3 months than at 6 months post\u2010partum. Women with higher\u2010than\u2010average total concern scores perceived their infant as more difficult, were more likely to have experienced an obstetric complication, and worked more hours out of the house than women with lower\u2010than\u2010average scores.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2003<\/jats:bold> The findings afford a first look at the profile of normative maternal concerns outside of the immediate post\u2010partum period and identify factors that predict more intense concerns. These findings extend what we know about the issues of new mothers and can guide birth educators and help couples prepare themselves for parenthood.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2214.2007.00729.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]],"date-time":"2007-01-19T09:12:17Z","timestamp":1169197937000},"page":"720-727","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Maternal concerns during early parenthood"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Kaitz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"72","DOI":"10.1097\/00006199-196301220-00005","article-title":"Early concerns of primigravida mothers regarding infant care activities","volume":"12","author":"Adams M.","year":"1963","journal-title":"Nursing Research"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-3737.2000.01192.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1128946"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0022-006X.56.6.893"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0005-7967(00)00005-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1018790003416"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1552-6909.1981.tb00691.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0021-843X.100.4.594"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S095457940000554X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-7409(00)00101-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chiabu.2003.09.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_13_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4135\/9781483327792"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_14_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0191-8869(92)90036-O"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_15_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-3737.2000.00876.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_16_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0191-8869(94)00151-H"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_17_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0163-6383(97)90018-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_18_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1469-7610.00510"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_19_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0012-1649.26.1.137"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_20_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1741-3729.2000.00123.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_21_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-1754.1999.00342.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_22_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-2214.2000.00173.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_23_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/13591053030086008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_24_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1300\/J002v12n03_06"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_25_1","first-page":"174","article-title":"Postpartum concerns of mothers","volume":"7","author":"Gruis M.
