Learning ways to cope with a breakup during pregnancy will help you manage your emotional and physical health during this time, when you also have the life of your child to care for. So here are 3 tips that will bring peace to your feelings towards your ex boyfriend and help you cope with the breakup.
Tip #1: Ok with the break up… for now…
The easiest thing now is to agree to the breakup. I understand that this may not be what your mind is telling you to do, but doing it will do you more good than harm. This is why:
- It’s easier to go with the flow than to fight the current. Since your ex is adamant in his decision to break up with you, he reserves and shares your energy with your baby. Being in her tummy, your baby needs her support to get good nutrition to grow. Her mood also affects her baby’s growth.
- Going along with the breakup will come as a shock to your boyfriend. One of the reasons why your ex decided to break up with you is because he is afraid of having to deal with your mood swings and raising a newborn child. It’s a big responsibility for a guy, and your partner probably isn’t ready. By agreeing to the break up, you are showing him that you are capable of coping on your own. He will be pleasantly surprised and relieved, giving him time to reconsider things between the two of you.
Tip #2: Take care of your health and that of your baby
Learning to cope with a breakup during pregnancy also means taking care of your health and that of the baby. Your baby may only be a few weeks or months old, and you must consider your emotional feelings and avoid physical harm to ensure that your baby grows up in good health.
Also, our self-esteem plummets during a relationship breakup. So a quick way to regain your composure is to look in the mirror and ask yourself ‘Is this the person I want to be?

But…’ Once you get to this point, stop thinking about it.
The key is to focus on what you want instead of what is keeping you from having what you want. It will help you increase your emotional and general happiness.
Also, your breasts will grow more during pregnancy. Use it to tempt the man you love back into a relationship with you, but don’t have sex too soon. Having sex with him too quickly will take away his attraction prematurely. Try to talk to him. Make him commit. You are in control.
