How To Stay Close To Your Partner While Going Through A Pregnancy

Often times both men and women complain they think that once they become pregnant the romance and love has disappeared out of their pregnancies. This article will provide you with some tips and tricks on how you can still be close to your partner or bring the romance back to the relationship.

Tip: As a pregnant woman, it's important that you protect your skin while you're out in the sun. When a woman is pregnant, her skin becomes more sensitive to the sun, which makes her more prone to sunburn and increases her risk of skin cancer.

Always make sure you take the time out to cuddle and get some skin to skin contact. You will feel closer and more in touch with each other if you do this. Sleep together every night and make sure you cuddle often.

Tip: It can be hard getting sleep while pregnant. Sleep can be particularly elusive in the final months of pregnancy.

Go on some dates, just you and your partner, even if it means just grabbing a bite to eat. You want to remain close and get that one on one time that you might not have once the baby arrives.

Tip: You should always visit with your doctor when planning on getting pregnant. The doctor can advise you on how to change your lifestyle, and he will ensure that you don't have any problematic medical conditions.

Do not cancel the dates that you have scheduled with one another. Make them the most important thing you will be doing that day. You might be bust but nothing is as important as being close to your partner.

Tip: Childbirth classes will offer a wealth of information. Register for a space in the class as soon as possible; otherwise, it may fill up.

Always flirt with your partner, make them feel like you still love them and are attracted to them. Pregnancy can make women feel less than beautiful so it is very important for a man to do this for their woman.

Tip: Learn the word "no" for those who want to stuff you with food when they see you. Although you should eat more while pregnant, remember there are limits! Saying thanks but no thanks is perfectly acceptable, so don't hesitate to do it.

If you are feeling a little frisky and your partner is as well, take the time to mess around. Do not be afraid to be intimate when you are pregnant. It is healthy and will just make you happier.

Tip: Don't be stubborn. It's not smart to act like you can do everything by yourself when you are pregnant.

Do not ever put your relationship on the back burner when you are pregnant. It can be easy with all the planning, but make sure you are still paying attention to you and your partner, separate this from the pregnancy.

Tip: If you own cats, let someone else handle dealing with the litter box. There are parasites in cat feces that can cause toxoplasmosis.

In the evening when you are both relaxing pop in a good movie or watch one of your favorite TV shows together. Get close on the couch and cuddle. You might feel the baby move and this can be another bonding experience for both of you.

Tip: Take the time to attend a childbirth class, especially in your first pregnancy. These classes share lots of helpful information, no matter what kind of birth you've planned.

Ask your partner to give you a massage when you are feeling sore or tired. This can lead to some more intimate contact or just give you some alone time to talk about what is going on in their lives, they might feel left out.

Tip: Writing down a birth plan may help you navigate the complicated array of emotions you are about to experience. You can decide what lighting, music, or any other environmental adjustments that can keep you relaxed and comfortable during delivery.

If you have not been spending enough time with your partner try to get away for the night. Book a hotel and go to dinner before hand, even if that means you are staying close to home. You will come away from it feeling closer than ever, make it romantic!

Tip: Talk to a doctor prior to trying for a child. Your physician will help guide you through the process and schedule routine check-ups.

Do not be afraid to try some new things in the bedroom when pregnant. You might be surprised at how your partner reacts. It might help your relationship more than you thought it would.

The romantic times you experience with your partner do not have to disappear just because you are having a baby. You should relish the time you have together before you have even less time when you are taking care of your newborn!
