Some of these topics may be no-brainers, and perhaps you already know where you both stand on them. But there also may be some topics you didn’t think about, and it’s vital to get on the same page (or inch toward it) so you can start parenthood with confidence in each other, your abilities, and the future. A few things explored here are decisions on baby names and working out child care, as well as where is baby going to sleep. And maybe those answers come more easily for some. But other topics may take more research and time devoted to fully understanding the scope of the topic and your decision about it. Take for example: cord blood banking or if you face an unexpected medical emergency. Do you know where the other person stands here? Delving into these topics together will not only allow for a more informed choice, but it can help you bond and become a stronger family unit. Check out this list of the things you should talk to your partner about before you give birth. And then have the necessary conversations to ensure you can move forward in parenting with a bit more confidence. It’s never too soon to start talking about these important things.
