Feelings & relationships

Surgery Door provides a useful guide on pregnancy and parenting, from planning a pregnancy and ways to conceive to advice for men and details of antenatal classes.

From the minute you know you’re pregnant, things begin to change. Your feelings change - feelings about yourself, about the baby, about your future. Your relationships change - with your partner, other children and also with parents and friends.

But you’re still yourself, and you still have to get on with your life, whether pregnant or not. For this reason, adjusting to the changes that pregnancy brings isn’t always easy. This section is about some of the worries that may crop up in pregnancy and some suggestions on how to handle them. But, of course, what may be a problem for one person may not be a problem for another. And what is helpful advice for some people may not be right for you. So take from this section what you find useful, and don’t bother about the rest.
