Help Your Partner Have a Stress-Free Pregnancy

When your partner gets pregnant after a vasectomy reversal or a long battle with male infertility , you will want to do everything in your power to ensure that she has a healthy pregnancy. Stress can significantly contribute to pregnancy complications, including miscarriage. Help your partner avoid these risks and have a stress-free pregnancy you can both enjoy with this advice.

Be Available for Appointments

Facing pregnancy alone is difficult. Instead of expecting your partner to go to doctor appointments alone, accompany her. She may just want you to listen to the doctor during the appointment, or she may want you to take part in conversations about her care. Talk to her about what makes her the most comfortable before the visit. During these appointments, you will be faced with decisions about prenatal testing. Help your partner make these choices so that she doesn’t have to be responsible for them alone.

Help Her Adapt to Lifestyle Changes

For many women, adapting to the lifestyle changes that are necessary during pregnancy can be stressful. From giving up her morning coffee to her evening glass of wine, your partner may be facing the prospect of nine months of limitations. Consider making some lifestyle changes yourself so that you are going through the process together and she feels supported.

Let Her Rest

During pregnancy, hormone levels and the demands on the body may make your partner more fatigued than usual. Struggling to keep up with her normal schedule may be overwhelming. Emphasize to your partner that your support her need for more rest during pregnancy. Rather than letting things pile up that your partner would normally do, jump in and do them for her so she’s free to get the rest she needs.
