Preparing for Parenthood: 55 Essential Conversations for Couples Becoming Families Stephanie Dueger

Couples often spend surprisingly little time getting ready for the huge rite of passage of becoming parents. Pregnant couples may paint the nursery, but neglect discussing how their roles may change. They may have a car seat ready, but not a will. The first of its kind, this interactive book provides expectant couples with 55 essential conversation-starters and action items to complete before having a baby, using their own beliefs and values. They'll learn the biggest concerns for expectant and new parents, find their unique strengths as a couple, and develop greater confidence in the transition to having a baby and becoming parents. Parenting is simultaneously heart-opening and heart-wrenching, humbling and humorous, joyful and overwhelming. But this small and indispensable book will help hopeful, expectant, and new parents alleviate stress and answer some of the biggest questions they'll want to address before their baby arrives.
