Abstract
The experience of expectant parenthood is commensurate of relative angst and nervousness albeit one
of overall excitement and joy. However, when the pregnancy is regarded as high-risk, this experience changes dramatically
for both parents. While literature on high-risk pregnancies is gaining traction, the focus is predominantly on
the mother’s experiences and therefore, a paucity exists in exploring the father’s experiences of a high-risk pregnancy.
This study aimed to determine the current extent of literature focusing on father’s experiences of a high-risk pregnancy
using a scoping review methodology.
