How Pregnancy Grows Your Relationship, Not Just Your Baby

And today we are talking about how pregnancy changes your relationship.

And obviously...

so will the aftermath, so will postpartum and so will the baby, you know, arriving and officially like being in your family and a part of your family.

Um, But for the most part, it starts during pregnancy and your relationship grows and it changes in ways that are great and in ways that are hard.

But that's just the nature of the situation.

That's the nature of the circumstances.

That is life.

That is exactly what we call life.

Pregnancy is pretty much...

i would say mostly talked about as a physical transformation everyone's always saying how are you doing meaning like how do you feel what are you like what are your symptoms what are you going through are you in pain like things like that so i would say most often when talked about the changes uh you know that you go through in pregnancy it's a physical transformation but not enough people talk about the emotional transformation and the relationship transformation too because trust me when I say pregnancy will also transform your relationship not only are you growing a baby but you are simultaneously growing your relationship too and you're growing together as people as adults as Humans, just like in general, you know, you are growing together.

Maybe only one of you is growing in size because only one of you has the baby, is carrying the baby.

But you know what I'm saying.

Both of you are growing together.

And when people think about pregnancy, like I said, they think about like that physical thing.

They think about cravings.

They think about doctor's appointments.

They think about nursery planning, you know, decorating the nursery.

They think about baby showers and ultrasounds and all those kind of things.

But one of the biggest changes isn't just happening to your body.

It's happening in your environment, inside of your relationship, in your everyday life, in your conversations, in your dynamic with your partner.

Pregnancy is probably one of the first, if not the first, major life transitions that a couple will experience together.

It's exciting.

It's emotional.

It's beautiful.

It's scary.
