Ginny also has extensive experience with working with couples who have experienced birth complications and loss and helped them through the emotional journey to recovery. During your pregnancy, as the mother, your body is going through a massive change and transition. If you are the father, you will be experiencing a change of her focus away from you and onto the baby growing inside her. You may also be feeling as if things are out of your control or that the relationship dynamic is altering. EXPECTATIONS
Congratulations, you’ve had the baby! But while you have got through the first stage of becoming a parent there are many things about the birth experience that you might be upset or disappointed about, and these could be affecting your relationship or preventing you from moving forward. BRINGING BABY HOME
You’ve made it home with your baby and brought them into your world. You expect to feel joy, excitement and elation, but you may be experiencing feelings of grief, loss and sadness. The world that was just the two of you, a place that both of you respected and worked together to live in, has changed. Now, there is a third person who over-runs boundaries, challenges expectations, dominates your world and relationship, and pushes many buttons. STILL OFF PLAN
So your baby has been home for a while and the two of you have ‘sort of’ developed a routine to cope and manage the new dynamic, but you still feel as if you're ‘off track’. If you or your partner are experiencing any of the above, it really helps to address the issues, concerns and challenges as early as possible. We are all about prevention and preservation in keeping marriages and relationships together. So lets talk before it breaks.
