Aside from getting yourself ready for labor, you must also have your maternity go-bag essentials ready as well, especially if you’re really close to giving birth.
In case your baby decided to arrive early, it is recommended that you prepare most of your labor and birth essentials 2 to 3 weeks before your due date. Here’s all you need to know.
Are you excited to see your baby? Have you completed all the necessary tasks you need to do before you give birth? Being able to complete all the preparations before you see your little one will put your mind at ease and will make your delivery smoother and less stressful.
Here are things you need to do before your baby arrives:
The Four Stages of Labor and Delivery
After giving birth, you might not have the chance to deep clean and organize your house for a few weeks to months. That is why nesting is a great way to make your house ready for the baby’s arrival and for you to be less stressed when you get home from the hospital.
Other preparations prior to giving birth depend on the type of delivery and the place you will give birth. It is important to check with your birth team the processes you need to take so that you can enjoy the last moments of your pregnancy.
Packing your bag before giving birth is quite stressful and exciting at the same time, especially if you’re a first-time mom. Here is a list of essentials you might need for yourself, your partner, and your baby.
For yourself and your partner:
A camera or a video recorder is also an important gadget the parents never forget to bring during birth. It is for you to capture the best moments of your delivery (if allowed) or to capture your first moments with your little one.
When you are so close to giving birth, you might feel pressured and stressed. Keeping yourself busy and carrying out last-minute preparations before your target delivery date will help you ease your worries.
Do not forget to get yourself and your partner ready for a new chapter in your lives. Enjoy the last moments of your pregnancy and soon after, you will meet your little one.
