Some parts of the journey into parenthood are very specific to the person who is pregnant, but a lot of the journey is or can be shared.
This page is in response to a question put to me in my consulting room, as most of these resources are!
As always, I will link to resources I am confident in (no need to reinvent any wheels here!) but also place tips, tricks, ideas, and a check list to share.

I hope you find it useful
