Pregnancy in the world is certainly far from novel until you experience it for the first time. When it’s your pregnancy everything truly is novel and you start to see the world around you much differently. The nesting time that most women go through often turns inward. We want to know that everything is going to be just fine.

Any committed long term relationship can go under evaluation during a pregnancy. Most of the time this is the event that either creates unity or signals that there are only individuals trying to force their square pegs into round relationship holes. As the idea of family approaches you find that it’s easy to share the fun stuff but not so sure about sharing the whole idea.

In anticipation of the arrival of you’re baby, you run out and get the cutest little girl or baby boy bedding. You set up baby safety monitors and of course you even stock up on the best diapers. You make sure your home is the one place that is absolutely ready for parenthood. Baby proofing before your child is even born is actually more common than you might think.

But these actions do not always alleviate some of the nagging fears. All pregnant women have fears that they’ve done something amiss during the pregnancy or that they had too much wine before they knew they were pregnant. But if you are feeling a nagging sensation about being a family with your significant other, these are issues that need to be addressed well before the baby is born.

You may very well find out that your relationship is actually rock solid. It’s not unusual to have a sense of cold feet before the baby is born. You know that while two adults can break a commitment to each other, the story is much different when it comes to a lifetime commitment through a child.

Your pregnancy is the time to start working out these issues with your significant other. Fears and concerns can be laid on the table and honest communication needs to take priority over the potential for hurt feelings. Bringing a baby into a bad relationship does not improve the stability of that relationship. It usually makes it harder.

As you and your partner start to melt into a team you can usually start putting many of your relationship fears away. It’s perfectly understandable that you both will have a period of adjustment to go through, but if you become firm in your relationship now the bumps ahead will not be so big.
