Is anyone making an active effort to involve family more in their pregnancy?
Maybe I'm overthinking it?
My husband and I will be the first in both of our families to have a baby, so everyone is really excited, and we have good relationships with all.
I’ve realized I’m not someone who naturally involves people much and usually just handle things with my husband. But with pregnancy I’m trying to be more intentional about including our families so they can feel part of this new experience too, which they appear to want to be involved with (i assume with the gift giving, food drops, etc).
For example, inviting them to ultrasounds, baby shows/expos, stroller shopping, things like that.
Just curious if anyone else is making a similar effort to include family, or if it just happens naturally for your situation/dynamic.
