Building a Support Network: The Importance of Friends and Family During Pregnancy

– Surround yourself with supportive and positive people during your pregnancy, including family, friends, and healthcare providers

– Seek out other pregnant women or new moms in your community through support groups or online forums

– Communicate your needs and preferences to your support network, and ask for help or support when you need it

– Set healthy boundaries with those who may be negative or unsupportive, and prioritize your mental and emotional well-being

– Remember that you are not alone and that many women experience the ups and downs of pregnancy and motherhood

– Consider seeking out additional resources or professional support if you are struggling with mental health or relationship challenges during this time
