Supporting relationships with your partner

This video explores ways to deal with arguments with your partner after your baby is born.

There’s no doubt that babies have a big impact on relationships. Talking about some key points before baby arrives can be really useful.

  • Have you considered how you both respond when you are tired?
  • Have you considered how you respond when you are stressed?
  • Have you spoken about sex once you have recovered postnatally?
  • Have you talked about how you might remain connected after your baby arrives?

ChatHealth Logo

Devon County Council runs a confidential secure text messaging service for parents of children aged 0-19 years called ChatHealth. The service operates Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, excluding bank holidays. All texts will be responded to by a public health nurse (health visitor/school nurse) within 24 hours. Outside of the service working hours, you’ll receive a message back to inform you that your text will be responded to once the line reopens. You can also call our Public Health Nursing hubs on the numbers listed below.

If you are concerned about the safety of a child in Devon, contact our Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 0345 155 1071 or email mashsecure@devon.gov.uk with as much information as possible.
