A few top communication tips!

We have a massive communication deficit in this country as demonstrated by the rapid breakdown of relationships.

Many people lack basic communication skills they could help them through the hurdles at every couples face like pregnancy.

On the woman's part she may lack sexual desire during pregnancy but finds it very hard to express this.

On the man's part he may struggle with conflicting feelings about sexual desire for his pregnant partner.

With poor communication both can end up feeling neglected or anger which can be quite a volatile combination.

You can bolster communication skills! I recommend my 3 Ps of communication for facing tricky situations:

Practise what you want to say so you feel comfortable with the words you choose.

Pick your moment wisely when neither of you are stressed to raise the issue

Emphasise a positive in your relationship before you than discuss the tricky issue
