In a recent conversation, Lin spoke candidly about this phase of life, touching upon excitement, vulnerability, and how pregnancy can reshape a relationship in deeply personal ways.Describing her husband’s response to the news, Lin shared, “Oh, he’s loving every moment! It took a bit for it to sink in for both of us, but he’s been amazing prepping himself, supporting me, and being there for everything I need.” She reflected on how pregnancy is often experienced differently by mothers and fathers, adding, “We mothers somehow prepare ourselves because we feel the changes, but for fathers, they go through it all as an observant — and Randeep really has been prioritising ‘US’ in the midst of everything. It’s great to see him in this space.” Her observations resonate with many couples navigating new emotional roles during pregnancy.Lin also opened up about a more difficult chapter that preceded this pregnancy. “To accept things as they are. After a miscarriage earlier this year, it was a tough space for us both,” she shared, highlighting the emotional impact pregnancy loss can have on both partners. She told ETimes, “However, we’re just deeply grateful and keeping our fingers crossed — and this is nothing short of a beautiful gift!” Such experiences often leave lasting psychological impressions, even when a subsequent pregnancy is progressing well.Speaking about the present, Lin noted that her pregnancy has been smooth so far, with minimal morning sickness, and revealed that the baby is due in March 2026. She also spoke about how anticipation has become a shared space of joy, saying, “We’ve talked about names, but nothing serious yet. The baby’s room is definitely our favourite topic though.” Reflecting on their growing excitement and preparation, she added, “Randeep keeps sending me articles and ideas he thinks will help us prepare. We are really enjoying this since it’s our first… There is no space for anything else other than happiness, joy and the anticipation of the biggest delight of our lives.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Lin Laishram (@linlaishram) How experiencing a miscarriage affect emotional bonding and anxiety levels during a subsequent pregnancy?Sonal Khangarot, licensed rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist, The Answer Room, tells indianexpress.com, “Experiencing a miscarriage can significantly shape emotional bonding and anxiety levels in a subsequent pregnancy, even when everything is medically stable. Psychologically, miscarriage is not just a physical loss but a relational and attachment-based rupture. Many individuals carry unresolved grief, fear of recurrence, and a heightened sense of vulnerability into the next pregnancy. As a protective response, the mind may remain hypervigilant, constantly scanning for danger, which increases anxiety despite reassuring medical reports.”Role that partner involvement plays in helping pregnant women feel emotionally secure,Partner involvement plays a crucial role in helping pregnant women feel emotionally secure after a previous pregnancy loss, especially in the Indian context, where women often carry silent emotional burdens. Khangarot states, “When a partner actively listens, attends medical appointments, checks in emotionally, and validates fears instead of dismissing them with ‘everything will be fine,’ it helps regulate anxiety.”Story continues below this adShe adds, “Research shows that supportive partner behaviour reduces antenatal anxiety and improves emotional bonding. Healing happens not through fixing emotions, but through consistent presence and reassurance that she is supported, regardless of outcomes.” For more lifestyle news, click here to join our WhatsApp Channel and also follow us on Instagram© IE Online Media Services Pvt Ltd
