Whether it is anxiety about intimacy during pregnancy or the misconception that breastfeeding acts as natural contraception, misinformation drives unnecessary stress. I help couples replace these outdated fears with science and open communication, ensuring you are aligned partners, not just co-parents waiting for the birth. Pregnancy changes your body and your relationship dynamics. Many couples come to me worried about the safety of intimacy or feeling disconnected. Vishwas kariye (believe me), fear often stems from misinformation, not biological reality. Let’s bust some myths. First, intimacy. Couples often ask if sex is safe. The answer is yes, provided there are no medical complications. Your baby is secure in the amniotic sac, cushioned by fluid. Fear or hesitation often stems from outdated advice. Talk to each other. If one partner feels hesitant, discuss it. Communication is the backbone of a healthy pregnancy partnership. Second, the 'breastfeeding as contraception' myth. Do not rely on this. It is a dangerous misconception. Many couples find themselves pregnant again sooner than expected because they assumed breastfeeding was a natural shield. Always use reliable contraception until you are actively planning the next child. Third, the emotional gap. Dads often feel like outsiders. They are not. They are active nurturers. If you are struggling with what to say to a pregnant partner or how to support her beyond just being there, we need to talk. Simple shifts in your daily language and shared routines change the game. We combine ancient wisdom like Garbh Sanskar with modern science. Parenting starts before birth, at the conception level. If you are struggling to align as a couple or just want to ensure your environment is built for love rather than stress, I am here to guide you. It is about being conscious parents, not just expectant ones. ## About My Shishu I am Dr. Abhishek Pasari, founder of My Shishu.
