It is an exciting and sometimes scary proposition to have a child. Alysia and her spouse should first consult with their primary care physicians to determine if there are any genetic risk factors for disease that could be passed to their new child. A good nutrition plan and professional advice should ease some of the uncertainty and make them even happier on their journey. They can follow up by making an appointment with a couples/ family therapist to help them mentally prepare for their new path in life. The guidance of a trusted, and licensed talk therapist could help to make the home environment for the new child as loving and nurturing as possible.
