In order to properly communicate with your partner about your pregnancy, you have to take into account their feelings as well as your own. That's why we're going to give the reader 5 tips on how to express this pregnancy information using a variety of different communication techniques.
1) Emotional - This is a great way that will let them know how you feel. It will also allow you and your partner to feel more connected emotionally and allow for a good conversation about how they are feeling.
2) Verbal - Instead of talking about the pregnancy in general, take time out of the day where it’s just you and them together and find time for some one on one time. You can say, "I have to go and run an errand, but I wanted to let you know that I will be gone for a while." This will allow you both to feel connected and let them know that you are still thinking about them. You can always add in a smiley face or have your partner say something like, "Call me when you return."
3) Emoticons - Emoticons are very nice and they let people know how you're feeling without having the difficult conversation. Emoticons make it easier for people to read your emotions without having to understand the body language that goes along with it. They also allow people to express emotion before they even ask a question or share their thoughts.
4) Text - This is a great way to connect with your partner while you're at the doctor’s office or they're at work. Using text symbols will allow for an easier time of communicating with your partner and help you feel less nervous about telling this exciting news.
5) Facetime - This is a great way to let your partner see you while you tell them about the pregnancy. This will make them feel more involved in the process and it will help them understand how much this means to you as well as how excited you are to share it with them. This may also be the perfect time to make plans for your special day.
You can't do all of these, but you should consider doing a few of them at a time and see how they feel. It's important that you feel comfortable and talk, but when in doubt, doing something is always better than doing nothing at all.
"We are going to have to do different things to communicate with our partner about this pregnancy. If we want them to respect our decision and support us during the pregnancy and after the baby is born, we need to make sure that they know what's happening.
