Abstract	This study explored the mediating role of common dyadic coping (common DC) on the longitudinal associations between attachment-related anxiety and avoidance and parental adjustment to the first year postpartum. A total of 92 Portuguese couples completed self-report questionnaires of romantic attachment, common DC, parenting stress, and parental confidence. Results showed that more avoidant parents (at mid-pregnancy) engaged less in common DC (at 6 weeks postpartum), which consequently increased their partner's parenting stress (only in mothers) and decreased their partner's parental confidence (in both parents) at 6-9 months postpartum. Anxious attachment did not predict parents' adjustment directly or indirectly. Interventions aimed at preventing adjustment difficulties to early parenthood in more avoidant parents should focus on enhancing their common DC strategies soon after childbirth. (ZPID).
