Once you get through the stressful times, rebuild yourselves and work through them together, your relationship is stronger than ever.

It was stressful. It’s ok, it’s all normal it’s just hard when you’re exhausted and have a newborn and in a relationship. The stress will die down after a little while. With all this said a baby just being born is not an excuse for your partner to treat you like crap.

The first 2 months were terrible....once we found our groove and I got past some dark and lonely days we were fine. It’s so easy to feel invisible and lonely in those first few months and it’s ok to ask for help - even when they are helping so much...you can still ask for more. Definitely helped us.

It was much more stressful the first few months. Now it’s amazing again because he’s such a great dad but I’m due tomorrow with our second and I’m sure it will be a rough few months again.

Right after the baby comes...it’s hard. You’re both so tired and stressed and you are having crazy hormonal mood swings and you have to learn a new way to communicate. It’s not just the two of you anymore. It’s a hard adjustment but it ends up making you stronger as a couple

It’s a whole new world learning to live with a baby! The first two weeks, I was going to kill my hubby if he told me how to do one more thing with the baby. Now we have found a good rhythm and things seem to be calming down. Between a brand new little person to take care of and my hormones, I’m a mess!

We don’t take anything we say to each other between 1a-8a to the heart lol we know we’re both exhausted. But I honestly couldn’t feel more in love with this man.

It was extremely rough. We never fought before, really, but for the first 18 months or so afterwards, we fought a lot. I blame myself a lot because I fell so in love with my son that I kinda neglected my husband. We did marriage mentoring through our church and increased our sex life (I had NO drive) and things got soooooooo much better!

The same? lol. There’s a little more tension, but at the same time we also have a lot more admiration for one another so it evens itself out.

I don’t even know how to respond to this one. My boyfriend and I haven’t slept in the same bed since our son was born (October 2018)! It’s been rough. We’ve tried having sex twice and it’s been super painful which sucks!!!
