Pregnancy is often a time centered around the birthing mama. Right from the beginning, you and baby start to bond as he/she grows inside you. But, are you wondering how to get your partner excited about pregnancy too?

We'll talk about bonding ideas between partner and your growing bump, big events your partner can play a role in, and inspire some 'expecting dates' you can do in every trimester. 

With these ideas, your partner will be just as excited about pregnancy as you are!
