'pre-natal changes concerning dad?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'pre-natal changes' is the wordplay.
'changes' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pre'+'natal'='prenatal'
'prenatal' with letters rearranged gives 'PATERNAL'.

(Other definitions for paternal that I've seen before include "Characteristic of a father" , "Of one's father" , "protective interest" , "Fatherly in pre-natal mode" , "Dad's" .)
