Popular magazines are an important source of health and lifestyle information for young women. This study aimed to investigate the extent and nature of the information presented about pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenting. Content analysis of four monthly popular magazines over a period of one year reveals that references to pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding were contained in thirty-six (75%) of the forty-eight magazines reviewed. Many of these references represent a useful source of information, but there are a number of meddlesome or destructive themes, specifically weight gain in pregnancy, lack of control in your life, the 'agony' of childbirth and the negative impact childbirth has on marital relationships and career.
大众杂志是年轻女性获取健康和生活方式信息的重要来源。本研究旨在调查所呈现的有关怀孕、分娩、母乳喂养和育儿信息的范围及性质。对四份月刊类大众杂志进行为期一年的内容分析发现，在所审查的48本杂志中，有36本（75%）包含了与怀孕、分娩和母乳喂养相关的内容。这些内容中有许多是有用的信息来源，但也存在一些多管闲事或有害的主题，特别是孕期体重增加、生活失去掌控、分娩的“痛苦”以及分娩对婚姻关系和职业的负面影响。
