Introduction: Fatherhood in man’s life represents moment of big change characterized, mainly, for social roles which determine the male adult behavior before the family and society. The idea of “provider father” influenced and still has influenced the man’s behavior before fatherhood. On the other hand, the figure of the “new father” characterized from the break up with the traditional model of fatherhood and of the development of affective bonds in the trinomial father-mother-children. Thus, one realizes that the way to conceive and experience fatherhood results from historical transformations. In this sense, understanding the fatherhood as a social construction which formed from identity processes of the male figure and conceptions of genre, the study in question rests on the Social Identity Theory with the focus of Socio-historical Psychology. General Objective: To analyze the repercussions of the construction of paternal identity in the adherence to male prenatal. Method: This was a qualitative study. 40 men-fathers participated, ranging in age from 22 to 47 years, parenting time minimum of 1 year, stable relationship, and different social classes. Inclusion criteria: to be adult man-father and not to be teenager father, nor grandfather once believed to exist peculiarities in these situations which do not fit with the focus of the study in question. Participants were selected randomly, being respected the inclusion criteria in the study and agreement in answering the instruments. Instruments: 1) Semi-structured interview: realized in order to apprehend discourses about the experiences and conceptions of fatherhood; 2) Socio-demographic questionnaire: that sought to collect data on the age, income, time of relationship, conjugal status, number of children and education. The study was submitted and approved by the Ethics in Research of the State Department of Health of Paraíba – CEP/SES-PB. After ethical approval and signing of Term of Informed Consent by the participants, it proceeded to collect data. The interviews were processed by Thematic Categorical Analysis, proposed by Figueiredo (1993), which consist in the relation of emerging discourses with the thematic variables of interest. Results: From the analysis of the participants' reports, two thematic classes and ten categories emerged. The Thematic Class I Fatherhood was composed by categories: Transformation, Roles, Responsibility, Achievement and Limitations. The Thematic Class II Reproductive Health was composed by categories: Prenatal, Male prenatal, Male participation, Health services and Obstacles. Final considerations: Fatherhood as a social construction is framed as historical time in transition. The paternal identity is taken as something in constantly changing depending on the socio-historical context of man, in this sense the way in which man was socialized will necessarily result in their paternal identity. While a strategy intervention of a public health policy, the male prenatal should then contemplate the historical meaning of parenthood and the meanings attributed to this moment of male life so that best become effective implementation and therefore the male adhesion.
