Pregnancy’s Effect on Marital Stability About 24% of divorces are associated with a woman becoming pregnant. Pregnancy can introduce significant stress and new challenges to a relationship.

The pressure of parenthood can also lead to communication breakdowns. Without preparation and teamwork, these changes can result in frustration and disconnection.
