Why support matters during pregnancy
During pregnancy, both physical and emotional needs grow. Small actions, like someone helping with grocery shopping, cooking, or coming along to midwife visits, can make a big difference. Feeling seen and cared for improves your wellbeing and your relationships.
How your partner or loved ones can help
- Practical help – cooking, carrying groceries, setting up the stroller.
- Emotional support – listening when you need to share thoughts and feelings.
- Participation – let your partner attend ultrasounds, midwife visits, and help prepare for birth.
Pregnant without a partner
If you’re pregnant on your own, reach out to friends or family. Most people are happy to help, though sometimes you need to tell them exactly what you need.
Accept support
Many expectant parents try to manage everything themselves, but it’s okay to lean on others. Getting help can give you more energy to feel good and get ready for your baby.
