So I'm new to this and love the reading the feed. I'm just entering the 3rd trimester and am soooo excited for our little girl to get here, I've been with my husband for six years and been married for 8 months. We have an amazing relationship. Never argue, always have fun, just simply enjoy one another's company. Like I said I am thrilled to have our baby come into this world but am also nervous that having a baby and becoming a parent will change or ruin our already great relationship. Does anyone else feel this way? Ways to combat relationship strain with a new baby? Advice! :)
I agree take time for you guys whether it be when the baby is napping..It's really important...also I agree with the first comment for the most part but for me being a mom has not come naturally. I love my son with all of my heart but I get extremely frustrated and its harder for me to read what he wants than it is for my boyfriend, he can comfort him easily, I think I'm the only one who struggles to comfort him. you're gonna get frustrated but remember you are all a family and rely on one another, if you need help ask for it, it's teamwork.
my best advice is make time for you two even if it's just for a little bit at night before bed you're going to argue but just remember you're both learning just get through the first week (:
Absolutely. I feel like we have what it takes to be great parents but never want to put him on the back burner. He's my best friend and I don't want him to feel any less important when then baby comes around. Just need to make sure to communicate, laugh and make time for one another. The unknown is just so scary baha. Thanks!! I am very excited, due March 1. Congrats to you as well :) excited to join other moms going through similar situations.
I guess you just have to have team work, don't feel like "well I do more then you" kinda thing. Sometimes being a (first time) dad is a lot harder because being a mom comes natural, mostly. It sounds like you have a great foundation so I wouldn't be too worried!! congrats on the little one btw 😊
it will be a little hard first to adjust but you have to remember to work together, as a team. Also agree with the ladies, take time for you guys and sleep as much as you can. Good luck and congrats
