Preparing your Relationship for Postpartum

Conversations about postpartum preparation rarely include changes in relationship dynamics, but this can be one of the most important things to discuss before baby’s arrival. As new parents, we’re thrown into a variety of situations which we only could have imagined, and can find ourselves overwhelmed by all of the adjustments that parenthood requires. It’s only normal that our relationships shift as a result of this. In today’s episode with Zara Ashad, Registered Psychotherapist, certified perinatal mental health therapist, and relationship expert specializing in postpartum couple’s therapy, we discuss the effect of these major transitions and how to approach parenting disagreements with our partner. Zara walks us through the major reasons why relationship strains are so common in early postpartum, and how therapy can be a powerful tool in navigating them. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/coffeeandcosleeping0/support
