"I have several pregnancy books, but none of them talk about how to save the relationship once the baby arrives. This book is the only one that takes this stress seriously. A must-read for every couple!"

Finally! Talking about our fears is a huge taboo – everyone only talks about the beautiful ultrasound images. This book has broken the deadlock between us. Now we know how we can support each other.

I only found albums, but never anything that focused on us as a couple. We realized that happy children need happy parents. That's the true foundation we're building now!

I was very unsure how to bring up my concerns. The book initiated the conversation and helped us talk honestly about finances and sleep deprivation. That's invaluable for the relationship.

I realized I was putting a lot of pressure on my husband. By having him fill out his book, I saw his fears about responsibility. I wish every couple would use this set!

We already had a pregnancy journal, but that was only for the belly pictures. This one is for our minds and hearts! It helped us talk about the worries we were too afraid to before. Absolutely essential!

As an expectant father, I often felt left out. Having my own book where I could write down my fears about the responsibility was a huge relief. It was an eye-opener for my wife.

This book is perfect proof that happy children need happy parents. The questions about dividing up responsibilities and our relationship needs were tough, but necessary. We're a much better team now.

I finished filling mine out during a stressful time and surprised my partner with it. She cried and said she'd never felt so understood. That alone made it worth buying.

The time capsule idea is brilliant! We left little messages for our baby, describing how excited and anxious we were. It's a beautiful keepsake of this transitional time.

The set arrived in such a cute package from my aunt for the baby shower! Best tip: Use the 'My Thoughts' pages for spontaneous outbursts of anger. 😂 It really helps to avoid always having the drama in real life. Totally my thing!

A book that speaks the truth without reopening old wounds. It's a quiet but powerful companion. I celebrate every page I fill.

The book really helped us because my girlfriend was so incredibly nervous about the birth. I just gave her my book so she could see that I was totally scared too, haha. Now we're both more relaxed. It's really good for the vibes!

I bought this set for my girlfriend's gender reveal party because I know relationship stress is such a taboo subject. She said afterwards it was a total lifesaver. They're totally on a team now. Best gift ever, no cap!

I hated it at first. I thought it was just typical girl stuff. But man, once I had my own book, I totally threw myself into it. It's super important to write down your worries. Now we're totally on the same page. 10/10, for sure!

We laugh a lot about the little, silly worries we had in the book. When our child asks how it was, we can show them: We were a team! That's better than any gold chain to me. Only the best memories.

This book truly saved us. In Spain, we don't like to talk about our fears surrounding babies, only about the joy. My husband gave me his copy with tears in his eyes. Then I knew it wasn't just my worry. Thank you, Traces of Life, for this courage.

    Becoming parents – remaining a couple: Your foundation for the journey together

    The birth of a child is the most beautiful and, at the same time, the biggest change in a couple's life. Suddenly, priorities diverge, and alongside boundless love, anxieties, worries, and new challenges often creep in. This set of two is the loving and honest companion that prepares your relationship for this intense journey and strengthens it.

    What's special about this book: It's intentionally not meant for both of you to use together; each partner receives their own book. This allows you to record your honest thoughts, feelings, and expectations undisturbed. Only when you're ready—whether after a difficult period or at a predetermined time—can you share your books and deepen your mutual understanding.

    It is a valuable treasure to strengthen your relationship and to remind you, even in stormy moments, why you are a team.

  • What to expect

    This set of two offers you both a safe space for honest reflection and mutual growth.

    • Two individual books (121 pages each): One book for Mom, one for Dad/partner. Fill out your pages freely and talk about your fears and hopes.

    • Focus on partnership: Targeted chapters on partnership, expectations of parenthood and dealing with difficult times (the taboo topics).

    • Deep reflection questions & exercises: Questions that go beyond baby preparation to strengthen your communication, prevent conflicts and clarify your deepest expectations.

    • Emotional anchors: Gratitude pages, empowering quotes, and small time capsules for your child that you can discover together later.

    • Space for photos & memories: Generous pages and areas to record ultrasound images, pictures of your relationship, or personal thoughts.

    This book guarantees open communication and provides a foundation that strengthens you as a couple, so that you can be the best and happiest parents for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I have to buy two books?

The intention is for both partners to fill out their own books to reveal their individual fears, worries, and hopes for the future. This is the best foundation for actively working on your relationship and strengthening your relationship before the baby arrives.

Possibility of surprise:

Of course, you can also fill out the book on your own and give it to your partner as a loving surprise and a gesture of understanding. The completed book can be a gentle invitation to continue the journey together. However, for the greatest relationship-strengthening effect, we recommend that both partners actively participate.

Is it only about the pregnancy?

No, the focus is on the history of your relationship, your fears and worries about parenthood, and tips on how to nurture your partnership during the first years with your baby.

Is the book also suitable for same-sex couples?

Yes! The book is written in a gender-neutral way and can be used by any couple preparing for their child and wanting to strengthen their relationship.

What if we have different ideas?

That's exactly what this book is for! It creates a safe space to openly discuss these differences and find solutions before the baby arrives.

Does the book offer practical support in addition to the filling-in section?

Yes, each book was designed as a holistic companion:

• Practical tips: At the end of the reflection chapters you will find specific tips and suggestions for strengthening your relationship.

• Space for pictures and thoughts: There are generous blank pages at the end and special sections within the text to insert photos, small mementos, or your own free-flowing thoughts. This makes the book your very own personal and irreplaceable document.

For moments when words fail – may this book offer you a measure of support and light.

This book is meant to remind you that healing is not a destination, but a journey.
Go it at your own pace – you are not alone.

In silent solidarity
