Parents2B

You are having a baby! Pregnancy means that you are up for a big transition in your life. Not only practical changes will occur, you will also go through emotional changes. Major life transitions, such as pregnancy, are important and require attention and a good preparation.

Most programs that aim to prepare expecting couples for parenthood, concentrate on physical aspects of pregnancy, labour and baby care. Physical health is obviously very important and should be rewarded with your attention. There is however another type of health that is equally important: emotional health.
