10 Heartfelt Ways to Keep the Spark Alive as Your Love Story Grows
Oh, the magical first trimester! A wondrous time of naps that rival Sleeping Beauty’s, cravings as unpredictable as the stock market, and a surprise new skill to add to your resume: projectile vomiting. As your family grows, so does the opportunity to strengthen the romance with your partner. If you’re wondering how to keep those fires burning amidst the whirlwind of morning sickness and mid-afternoon snack attacks, you've come to the right place. Let's keep the drama for the TV shows, shall we?
1. Date Night, Baby (Literally!)
Plan a special night that doesn’t involve pregnancy books or googling “is it normal to crave pickle-flavored ice cream?” Whether it's a Netflix and chill session with your favorite romantic comedy or a fancy dinner at that little bistro you both love, dedicate time to each other. Trust us, your love hormones (and your service providers) will thank you later.
“Is it a craving or love at first sight? Always choose the latter—even if you're eyeing a tub of Rocky Road.”2. Keep the Laughs Coming
Laughter truly is the best medicine, especially when you're navigating pregnancy's mysterious ways. Share your most embarrassing cravings or the funny things the baby books missed out on. It keeps the relationship light and creates memories that’ll make you both laugh for years.
“Pro Tip: A shared laugh is the fastest way to your partner’s heart—way quicker than a decaf, half-sweet, no-whip soy latte.”3. Small Surprises, Big Love
Whether it's a handwr
4. Learn Together, Grow Together
Sign up for a baby class or workshop together. Whether it's a parenting seminar, yoga class, or a virtual tour of maternity fashion trends, learning and growing as a team strengthens your bond. Plus, there’s no harm in becoming the “know-it-all” couple in your circle—every group needs one.

5. The Magic of Touch
Never underestimate the power of a good cuddle or massage. Hormones might be in overdrive, but sincere affection in the form of a gentle touch can work wonders. Even if it's just holding hands during a TV show you've watched a million times (yes, we've all been there).
“Reignite the passion with a cuddle, not like you have a choice with those super snug pants.”6. Humor Each Other’s Interests
Your partner’s obsessed with football, and you can’t stop talking about nursery color palettes? Great! Take turns indulging in what excites each other. The more enthusiastically you cheer their interests, the more invested they'll be during your 30-mi

7. Keep the Conversation Flowing
Remember when texting wasn’t just baby shopping links and to-do lists? Try sending sweet messages or cheeky winks through the day to remind your partner that they’re more than just a plus-one on this baby-making journey. Muted phones can wait!
Messaging apps: more than just for debating baby names (or nursery shades of grey).8. Capture the Everyday Magic
Start a photo diary of your pregnancy journey. Take candid shots (yes, even those unfiltered morning selfies) and make a digital scrapbook together. It creates beautiful memories to look back on and reminds you of the love growing not just inside, but between you.
Post-pregnancy, you can rock those pictures in style with Emamaco’s Mum Tum leggings. Who said projects don’t go beyond nine months?
9. Put the "Us" in "Focus"
As your baby grows, remember there’s strength in teamwork. Embrace the new challenges together, keep each other as first priority when it gets tough, and find ways to compromise when your desires go into overdrive (hello, late-night nachos!).
Never forget: “I’d choose you every time, even on nacho nights.”10. Embrace the Changes
Your relationship will evolve as you prepare to welcome a little one. Sometimes it’s messy, most times it’s hilarious, but all the time it’s full of love. Embrace the changes, redefine “normal,” and know that you’re rocking this evolutionary love stage like the glam team you are.
“Change is the only constant—also, snack-induced post-pregnancy napping.”For more fabulous maternity wear, check out Emamaco, because maternity fashion is too much fun to miss out on.
