Team AckoFeb 8, 2024

There are so many things that you and your partner as a couple need to do before your baby arrives!

So here are some experiences you will definitely want to squeeze in before your baby makes his or her grand entrance:

Before baby arrives: Enjoy as much as you can as a couple

Let's face it! When you are two, life is way relaxing than when yours two come in this world! A baby changes a lot, but hey, you can let them all be for the good, and prepare steadily for the adventurous ride of parenting ahead, by making the most of your time as a couple, doing a list of innovative things before having a baby!

Learn some moves

Don’t just laugh at the thought! There is something so intimate and romantic about dancing with your man. Try and learn one super form of dance like Salsa or Tango which will bring the two of you together for the rest of your life.

Before embracing parenting, take a quick road trip

This is the perfect time to discover the magic of a road-trip and also have a great bonding time with your partner. Just find out the best places to stay and some great eateries.

Schedule a spa day before your baby arrives

When you will have children, romance will take a backseat in your relationship for quite some time since most of your attention will be focused on your baby. A weekend gateway to a spa would be a rejuvenating way for you and your partner to be on the romantic track. The point is to simply relax and enjoy some time with your partner.

A night at the movies with your partner

Technically, babies and movies don’t go hand in hand until the time they are old enough to understand it. Either the baby snuffles or starts crying in between a dialogue during the movie or the sound effects will frighten your baby. So this is the best time to watch movies or late night movies on the weekends with your partner before your baby arrives.

Quality time with your partner

The flip side of having a baby is that you often feel like you lose your connection as a couple. You get so busy to keep up with the demands of a newborn that you completely forget to give time to your relationship. This is why it is important to take advantage of the opportunity to spend some time together with your loved one. Make breakfast together or just relax on the couch watching all your favourite weekend travel or reality shows together.

A baby is a blessing to a couple but at the same time, couples also need to grow as friends before becoming parents. The aforementioned tips will strengthen your bond as a couple before taking the big step of parenthood. Every relationship gets through their ups and downs but what strikes the chord is the friendship between the couple which eventually helps them get through all odds, especially after becoming proud parents.
