They say that one of the most stressful times in a couple’s relationship is when a baby arrives on the scene. It is, after all, a life-changing event – and from the moment you found out you were pregnant, you’ll have been juggling your changing emotions, body and practical resources.
As you adjust to pregnancy or life with a new baby, things inevitably change within your relationship: hitherto regular intimacies like sex may fall by the wayside, moods might go up and down and it becomes a challenge to make time for each other in lieu of the new demands your life entails. On the other hand, you will be sharing the joy of parenthood together: discovering new aspects of yourselves (and each other) and learning how to grow and evolve as a couple.
