I always trade carefully giving advice unless it is being seek. Since you've asked, normally you deal with it with childcare or close family members so you can have time together as a couple. 2 common occurence with woman after giving birth: 1. hormones are all over the place as the body slowly adjust to lactating and after birth stress. 2. It can be depressing for the woman and sometimes we feel not pretty or very low during this time (zombie/fatigue effect).

As for the father, it will be a massive adjustment period for both of you esp on your sleep whilst juggling with work.

With that being said, all the more to protect your time together as a couple. I suggest find a good pattern for you both as early as possible. Eg. once you have fully adjusted on the sleeping pattern for your lil one. This normally take 3-6 months of adjustment (generally speaking but can also varies). When I say quality time, I don't mean that go to fancy dinner right away. A nice walk just the both of you outside and treat it as a date. Simple gesture like that comes a long way. The moment you forget about your relationship, it will be difficult to get it back on track. I truly mean to read Esther Perel's book. Hope this helps. 🙏☺️ You got this 💪 and I am excited for your lil one 🫂
