Pregnancy is not a one-day
affair but a nine-month long
commitment which will surely
bring many changes in the
relationship you share with
your partner. Awareness of the
possibilities of change will keep
you prepared about how to
tackle the change and work
things out accordingly to keep
the relationship going without
any trouble in your haven.
Some pointers that you can look
for help are:

You will be more

dependent on your
partner for things which
you could manage alone
earlier. Situations such as
doctor’s appointments,
couple yoga sessions and
counselling hours will
make it necessary that you
feel the need for your
partner more during these
few months. This might
make you feel that your
husband is not giving you
your due.

He might feel left out and

alone during these times
as all your focus will be on
the baby and its needs.
The feelings of isolation,
lack of intimacy and
closeness are common
complaints that the
husbands make when you
two are expecting a baby.

Lack of sex and intimacy

can take a toll on husband
and wife relationship
during pregnancy. The
infrequent sex sessions
can leave a profound
effect on the chemistry
that you two share.
