Practical strategies, checklists, and planning tools to help couples navigate the pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn stages together

 Preparing for the birth of your child is a life-changing experience, but it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. Couples can tackle everything that needs to get done if they work together as a team, all while setting the foundation for a strong partnership that carries them through the next stage as first-time parents. The Couples' Pregnancy Guide offers supportive advice, strategies, and checklists couples need to create a plan that works for their unique relationship. There's no script for how things will go in pregnancy, but you can get through it with confidence and optimism when you do it together.

The Couples' Pregnancy Guide features:

- A month-by-month breakdown of discussion-worthy topics, from prenatal screenings and parental leave to childcare options and birth plans

- Guidance on how to support your partner to improve communication, strengthen emotional attunement, and lay the groundwork for a strong parenting team

-Checklists and worksheets to share responsibilities and empower non-birthing partners, and brainstorm solutions when joint decisions are particularly tricky

-Practical advice for challenges like easing tight finances, moving past communication impasses, and advocating for yourself in medical settings

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“As a married couple with three kids, we loved The Couples' Pregnancy Guide—especially its breakdown on the importance of sharing the mental load. Learning to share the work of preparing for a baby was a huge unlock for our relationship, and it brought us closer together during our last pregnancy. When we stopped focusing on gender roles and shifted our focus to sharing the mental load, we found ourselves much happier and more fulfilled as a couple.” 
—James and Tina Meeks, entrepreneurs, content creators, and founders of the Influencer Lab


“The Couples' Pregnancy Guide is a must-have for expecting parents. Not only does it break down what each partner may be experiencing emotionally and physically, it does so with a hint of humor. D’Anthony and Rachel draw on their personal experiences in a unique way to guide you through your first or next pregnancy.”
—Tiffany Davidson, entrepreneur and influencer, and TJ Davidson, entrepreneur, influencer, and author of The Little Gymnast
 
“The Couples' Pregnancy Guide really supports expecting couples as they go through the pregnancy and postpartum stage. The strategies and checklists allow them to create a plan that works for their unique relationship, and the information is relatable for both partners. It’s a must-have resource when going through the pregnancy journey; I wish my wife and I had this when preparing for the birth of our children.”
—Troy Brooks, entrepreneur, speaker, and content creator
