The 8 Things That Change Once Baby Arrives & 8 Ways to Maintain Intimacy with Couples Therapy in Mission Valley California

The period after the birth of your first child is one of the most difficult for any relationship. In fact “67% of couples... reported a decline in relationship satisfaction after the arrival of the first baby. The decline typically shows up between six months (for women) and nine months (for men) after the baby comes home.”

Note: It’s our philosophy at Whole Wellness Therapy that knowledge is power, which is why we asked the therapists in our Sacramento-based practice about some of the common changes that couples face and what can be done to best deal with them. While this advice should help you better understand your situation, many people find benefit in talking with a licensed therapist who has experience working with the issues you struggle with.
