How Parenthood Changes Your Relationship: What Every Birth Partner Needs to Hear
About this episode
A discussion on how pregnancy and parenthood impact relationships, featuring insights from Alex on emotional support and regrets.
Today, I’m joined by Alex from Be A Happier Parent for a really honest conversation about how pregnancy, birth and the early days of parenthood can change your relationship. We talk about the mental load, resentment, division of labour, emotional support and what birth partners can do differently from the very beginning. Alex also shares his own regrets and what he wishes he had understood sooner. This is a powerful listen for anyone preparing for a baby with their partner.
