  1. FROM DUO TO TRIO: WHAT HAPPENS TO US NOW THE BABY IS BORN? By: Julia By: Julia Nowland Nowland

  2. You and your partner have been blissing out for the last nine months, preparing, nesting and basking in the wondrous glow of imminent parenthood. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  3. But… but what happens when the baby actually arrives? www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  4. How is it going to affect you as a couple? www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  5. Relationships are much more likely to be placed under pressure when going through a life transition. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  6. FIRST - TIME PARENTS  Biggest Transition  Adjustments needed  Can bring out cracks in even the best relationship foundation How do couples navigate transition without affecting their new baby? www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  7. What does make the difference between feeling happy and content, and being disconnected from your partner? www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  8.  In it together As new parents, you’ll both be feeling irritable and overly emotional. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  9.  Tune into your baby’s world There are many wonderful programs out there that teach new parents how to connect with their baby emotionally. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  10.  Stay cool Try to remain calm when discussing these issues. Softly does it when approaching topics that you think will cause an argument. No criticising, blaming, defending, or stonewalling. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  11.  For the family to be okay, the two of you need to be okay When a baby arrives in a couple’s life, it becomes the number one priority. Show appreciation and affection, and when someone wants to talk (even if it’s a fight) pay attention, be present. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  12.  Let’s hear it for the dads It’s also vital that dad is encouraged to play and be affectionate with the baby rather than taking a more hands-off role. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  13. CREATING FAMILY RITUALS Nurturing, admiration and affection all start with ‘family time’. There is no ‘right’ way to parent But what is important is that you nurture your whole family as much as you nurture your newborn. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com

  14. REMEMBER Things might be tough at first, it won’t stay that way forever. You’re all in this together, and you only need to be ‘good enough’ – not perfect – parents. www.WholeHeartRelationships.com
