We go through a lot of changes after having a baby, but one of the biggest ones can be a shift in our relationship. Many couples experience big changes in their relationship after adding a child to their family. The emotional labor of dealing with relationship adjustment after a baby is a lot of work. This invisible load includes: 〰 Finding a new normal 〰 Expressing needs and feelings 〰 Prioritizing time for each other 〰 Communicating effectively 〰 Letting go of comparison 〰 Grieving how things were 〰 Resolving conflicts in a healthy way 〰 Researching whether your experience is common 〰 Seeing the good in each other 〰 Developing healthy boundaries 〰 Cultivating patience and forgiveness 〰 Learning to effectively apologize It can be tough! You’re dealing with sleep deprivation, new identities and values, major hormonal changes, and working through the mental and emotional labor involved in your relationship. It’s no wonder so many couples experience frustration! If you feel like you’re disconnected, struggling to communicate, or lacking the skills to work through this adjustment, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. A therapist can help you (or both of you together) work through the changes, build communication skills, unpack resentment, and reconnect. Momwell offers more than just mom support.

Many mental health professionals don’t use the word “healing” when it comes to grief. In many ways, grief isn’t something you heal from; it’s something you grow with. It’s something you learn to stand side-by-side with. Something else to consider if you’re supporting someone through loss: Listen to how a loved one speaks about their loss, and try t... See more

This dynamic has arisen, she says, because men have less to gain by changing their behavior, while women are more likely to want to alter the s... See more

In 2022, the infant mortality rate in the United States was 5.6 deaths per 1,000 live births, a 3% increase from 2021. You are not ... See more
I find this topic so fascinating and have been loving all of the convos I have been getting to have with you all in the comments and DMs! This question was a helpful one for myself as I was trying to decide to have kids. Is there a question you would encourage other fence sitters to ask themselves? PS. As always I am not trying to make someone choose either way. Everyone’s choice is valid. Also it’s important to acknowledge having the choice to have kids is a privilege in itself and my heart goes out to those who don’t have the choice. 💗💗💗
