Reconnecting in Transition: How to Protect the Romance While Becoming a Parent
As soon as you know you’re about to be a parent, you unlock a whole new view of the world. It makes total sense to turn right to the baby prep, budgeting for diapers, setup of the nursery, and taking every safety course to know your little one is safe.
But, there’s one thing that typically hits the back burner. Don’t get me wrong, preparation is key to parenthood but a big part of that is considering the romance and partnership between you and your partner. That connection is the glue that holds you both together for your baby in the early years when things can feel turbulent and unknown (again, SO normal but not something you have to do alone).
When the excitement dwindles and baby is becoming a normal part of life, the real work starts. What you used to do to keep your relationship strong and connected may not work now. What makes the difference is how you’re stepping into your role as a partner who is now also a parent.
Join Nathaly Moreno LMFT for a loving chat on this critical topic we see impact the success of parenthood and family units that thrive this July.
You’ll walk away with 3 key conversations to have with your partner to enhance your romantic relationship and the way you show up for your little one:
How to become a team through every up and down (sleep schedules, caregiver roles, vision for birth and parenting, boundaries, and your support system)
How to nurture your relationship and feel grounded in a strong foundation when things become rocky or uncertain
How to nurture yourself to show up for your partner even when you’re sleep deprived and forgetting what day it is (self care in this stage IS possible and we’ll talk about how)
