Practical strategies, checklists, and planning tools to help couples navigate the pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn stages together
Preparing for the birth of your child is a life-changing experience, but it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming one. Couples can tackle everything that needs to get done if they work together as a team, all while setting the foundation for a strong partnership that carries them through the next stage as first-time parents.
