This post is for the partners. It's not unusual in pregnancy, for partners to feel somewhat disconnected to the pregnancy and the process. You're feeling changes happening in your body but your partner isn't. This is often especially true in the first two trimesters. Many partners at this point occupy themselves with more of the practical concerns of pregnancy. How will we be able to afford a baby? Is our home big enough etc.
Here are some things to think about as the non-pregnant partner.

AuthorEmma is a childbirth educator, prenatal birth and postpartum massage therapist, doula and overall pregnancy and childbirth junkie living and working in Seattle WA. She's British too which is where the tea bit come from. In England, if you want to have a chat with your friend about anything really, someone puts the kettle on for a nice cup of tea. It doesn't matter what the topic is, a nice cup of tea relaxes everyone, makes the conversation flow easier and generally makes everyone feel good. So you're invited to brew a cup of your favorite herbal tea, pull up a chair around Emma's kitchen table and let's have a good chat, (or chinwag as we say in the UK), about birthy stuff. Archives
