Resumo:
Although there is a public policy that promotes the insertion of the male public in the pregnancy and puerperal cycle, the environment often does not become welcoming, which can lead to the distancing and lack of adherence of the father in the health services, the processes of exclusion of the man are marked by the lack of space so that they can participate and thus to realize strategies pertinent to their insertion in the primary attention. To identify in the literature studies that emphasize the presence of the man in prenatal care. A literature review was adopted as methodology, whose purpose of the research refers to the male population and their involvement in prenatal practices. To construct the discussion we used the search sites Scielo, Lilacs and BVS. Of this search, we obtained 20 studies published in the last ten years (2009-2018), of which 20, 3 were in English and 17 in Portuguese. For the construction of this study, only 13 articles of the 20 analyzed were used. As found in the literature, it was noticed that the great majority of the studies that formulated this research reported the importance of promoting the insertion of men in male prenatal care, but in contrast there are the obstacles that permeate this practice, contributing to the non-performance of health activities, disfavoring a public thirsty for information and reception in all its dimensions. In light of the analysis of the articles used for the preparation of this study, it can be observed that the valuation of paternity in prenatal care is slow in health services, even with the tools developed by the Ministry of Health as the creation of the strategy which promotes the prenatal execution of the partner, and this may be tied to the pertinent obstacles to the disqualification of the professionals in the capture of this public, the lack of interest of the parents in accompanying their wives, besides the stereotype built by the society that advocates the actions of the man to be a provider of the home, distancing him from the activities that involve prenatal care.
