Dr. Alyssa Berlin is on to talk about planning for life after the birth of your child. We often don't consider what happens after the baby comes home, or how our relationship might change. It's important to consider planning for life after you come home with baby! Dr. Berlin uses some really great analogies and examples about our needs during this time.
