The Pregnancy Identity Workbook
Who You Were Before and Who You're Becoming
You are not becoming a parent. You are becoming a new version of yourself. This workbook names both.
For the person in pregnancy navigating the identity change that accompanies the physical one — who feels themselves becoming someone new and has no structured place to name it.
The Name It First Experience
The Pregnancy Identity Workbook. Pregnancy is an identity event, not only a physical one. Your body is changing. Your role is changing. The person you were before is not disappearing — they are becoming someone new. Most pregnancy resources focus on the baby or the body. This one focuses on you: who you were, who you are becoming, and what you are choosing to carry forward. The output is not a birth plan. It is your Pregnancy Identity Agreement.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- Name who you were before this pregnancy — the work, the relationships, the daily life — and describe what you want to carry forward.
- What is changing about your sense of yourself that you haven't fully named yet — and what do you notice when you try?
- What do you want for the person you are becoming — the specific things you are choosing about who you will be?
Research basis
Matrescence research (Raphael, Sacks) / paternal identity research (Palkovitz) / perinatal mental health (Howard) on identity disruption as a risk factor for perinatal depression / transition theory (Bridges) on naming what is ending as prerequisite for healthy beginning.
