What you’ll learn: 

• Basic couples activities such as going out to dinner, the movies or even watching TV together become a lot more difficult in the first few weeks (or years!) of parenthood
• It is important to book in some time with each other
• It can be hard for some mum’s to ‘let go’ for a night, or even an hour – that’s normal.
• Working as a team can be difficult when you’re both tired and stressed but it is really important for baby as well as you
• The relationship can take a back-seat to the baby which may put a strain on both parents – communication is the key
