Trimester 1
Presence matters more than perfect answers. Check in daily, listen without rushing to fix, and keep the small promises you make.
Pregnancy and early parenthood change week by week. Ask what feels hard this week, then adjust instead of repeating last month's approach.
Own appointments, meals, and follow-ups. Do not wait to be asked. Anticipating needs is one of the clearest ways to care.
Help with quiet, food, hydration, and sleep wherever you can. Recovery support is practical love, not an optional extra.
Name your own stress without making it her job to manage. Calm honesty keeps both of you connected.
