Rosie had a therapist come in to talk to a couple because sex was a real issue between them. The husband wanted more of it and the pregnant wife did not feel up to it. I thought it was amazing how Rosie got the husband to see how hard it was for his wife to enjoy having sex during the last few months of her pregnancy by making him wear a pregnancy suit, to run, walk and even roll over on her back and on all fours. And he truly had an "Ah Ha" moment. He finally realized what it was like for his wife to have an additional person inside of her trying to do all this simple every day things and he completely understood.
The whole point was to let both parents know that it is all about understanding each other and what they are going through to truly be able to keep the spark alive during the pregnancy and after pregnancy. Expectant mothers need to realize that your partner may not be feeling the aches and pains, tiredness, and extra weight that you are but they have tons of other things going on in their lives that might be stressing them too. And their partners need to understand what an expectant mother is going through and she might not always feel up to doing all the things that she used to. But with both people understanding where each is coming from there is a bigger chance that a compromise can be made.
And remember keeping the spark alive is not just sex, there are so many more options out there to explore. Ok that's another story!!
So once everyone opens up and understands each other, I promise, the spark will stay lit.
How do you and your partner keep the spark lit during pregnancy?
Happy Planning,
