Becoming parents represents a potentially stressful transition, which may negatively affect the individual and relational well-being of both partners. Limited literature has investigated the role of dyadic coping during the transition to parenthood. This work explored partners’ differences in dyadic coping, anxiety, depression, and couple adjustment during pregnancy and 3 months postpartum. Furthermore, through Actor–Partner Interdependence Model analyses, the relationship between common dyadic coping and well-being was investigated. Women reported higher levels of depression at both times and men presented higher levels of anxiety in the postpartum. For women, higher scores on couple adjustment were predicted by their own and their partner’s common dyadic coping. For men, higher scores on anxiety were associated with elevated common dyadic coping. Results highlight gender-related predictors on postpartum well-being and support the need to assess individual and relational outcomes across the transition to parenthood to better understand the role of dyadic coping behaviors.

成为父母代表了一种潜在的压力过渡，这可能会对双方的个人和关系福祉产生负面影响。有限的文献研究了二元应对在过渡到为人父母的过程中的作用。这项工作探讨了伴侣在怀孕期间和产后 3 个月的二元应对、焦虑、抑郁和夫妻适应方面的差异。此外，通过演员-合作伙伴相互依赖模型分析，研究了共同的二元应对与幸福感之间的关系。女性报告的抑郁程度更高，男性在产后表现出更高的焦虑程度。对于女性来说，她们自己和伴侣的共同应对方式预测了夫妻调整的更高分数。对于男性来说，较高的焦虑分数与较高的共同应对能力有关。
