Читать книгу Dad's Guide to Pregnancy For Dummies - Sharon Perkins - Страница 27

Our modern life seems to get more complex by the day, from politics and social media to pandemics and increasingly erratic natural disasters — now might seem like a particularly scary time to bring a baby into the world. If you’re concerned, remember you’re not alone. Millennials are waiting longer to get married, buy a home, and have children. There’s never a “right” time to have a baby — when you’re ready, the rest of the noise won’t matter as much. Your decision to have a child is separate from the chaos that has always been and will always be, and as long as you provide a safe, happy home, your baby will be happy and healthy, too. The best thing you can do is be honest with your partner about any concerns you have and decide together how you want to raise your child. It’s never too soon to start discussing the world you want for your child and to figure out how you can facilitate providing that world.

Also, during pregnancy (and beyond!) it’s absolutely okay to take a break from social media, to unfollow people and pages that cause stress, and to take a break from podcasts and cable news. Sure, it might feel like sticking your head in the sand, but a stress-free and happy pregnancy is your number-one job. Anything that stands in the way of that can be excised or paused in your life for as long as you both desire.
