As a partner, it’s important to check in with how you’re feeling during pregnancy and after birth. Pregnancy is an emotional rollercoaster for both partners, and it’s vital to address your emotions as well.
- Acknowledge Your Emotions: Whether it’s excitement, nervousness, or stress, it’s normal to feel a wide range of emotions. Talking about how you feel with your partner can help build a stronger bond and support system.
- Take Care of Yourself: Parenting is a big responsibility, and your well-being matters. Make sure you’re taking care of your physical and mental health—get enough sleep, eat well, and take time for yourself when needed.
- Communicate Openly: Regularly check in with your partner and encourage open communication. This helps you both express your feelings and stay connected throughout the process.
At Borneo Mother & Child Hospital, we encourage partners to prioritize their emotional and physical well-being, ensuring they’re ready to support their partner and baby through every step of the journey.
