 Pregnancy brings changes big and small, and with the added stress of dealing with COVID-19, you may be feeling overwhelmed. It is important to remember to step back and prioritize your own self-care. Simple things like getting enough rest, eating well, exercising regularly, and seeking support from trusted friends and family can increase your resilience in stressful times. Sometimes during stressful times, some partners do not react well, and some people can become overwhelmed.
