As women, when we fall pregnant and then become mothers we are all consumed with this new stage of life- from navigating our changing bodies and identities and all the emotional, practical and psychological work and preparation that comes with this. A blind spot many of us dont consider however is how to navigate our finances during this time, both as individuals but also within a partnership with our significant other.
