Strategy: Sources of stress and expectations regarding your partner

You, Me, Baby MODULE 1 | Balanced living Strategy: Sources of stress and expectations regarding your partner

Together with your partner or a family member, name sources of stress associated with being pregnant and with becoming a parent. For example, what are the sources of stress that you might be subjected to during pregnancy? What sources of stress do you expect to face after giving birth?

  • Discuss your expectations regarding your partner with him or her in order to help you overcome this stress both during the pregnancy and after giving birth.
  • Be open towards your partner without being judgmental.
  • Are your expectations realistic or idealistic?
