How pregnancy has impacted our relationship: connection, communication, & conflict
This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re breaking down how pregnancy #2 has changed our relationship. From deeper connection and more appreciation to a few more... heated moments (hi, hormones), we’re talking about what this season has brought up for us both.
We get into the big stuff: how communication looks different this time around, how we handle conflict during high-emotion days, and how partners can take care of themselves while supporting someone who’s pregnant (it matters more than you think!!).
Before all that: when’s the best time to travel with a baby (we have thoughts), why this stage of Tate (1 year old!!) might actually be our favorite yet, and a discussion on the “mom guilt” that’s starting to creep in while sick in bed.
And in Things We DMed Each Other: a $30K baby-name consultant (????????) and a debate over whether pregnancy is actually harder than running a marathon (we’re siding with pregnancy). Oh and Harrison is wondering if either of us can secretly sing hahahahaha
LOVE YOU GUYS ❤️
