Not only on your pregnancy, but for considering getting some extra support during your postpartum period. The transition from being a couple... to being a pregnant couple... to being a couple with a newborn (or two, or three)... is not always easy or without challenges.
One of the biggest things I emphasize to expectant parents is that there is support out there. Not everyone has supportive family members nearby to help with this transition. And research has shown that "new parents who have support and feel secure and cared for during this time are more successful in adapting than those who don't."
