Prepare for your new-born during your pregnancy

Every pregnancy is different and no pregnancy can be compared. Each woman goes through her own journey when it comes to pregnancies and each journey is beautiful in its own way. But preparing for your new-born is a beautiful journey of its own which, different from pregnancies, can be compared and you can always look for tips others who have gone through this journey before you.

Let’s be honest, nothing can totally help you prepare for a baby, especially when it is your first. But there are a few essentials that might help the transition to the mum life just a tab bit easier.

When preparing for your baby to come, it is important to discuss general parenting things with your spouse or baby daddy. There are so many things that you and your partner will discover about each other as parents during your parenting journey. It’s important to roughly be on the same page when it comes to parenting and looking after the baby you have brought into the world. Although it is mostly a ‘learn on the job’ process when it comes to parenting, but here a few ideas to discuss before your baby arrives.

-What you think may change when the baby arrives? What is important to keep the same when it comes to your relationship and daily routine? Is there anything that either of you will give up when the baby is born (e.g. morning exercises or weekly commitments)?

-Potential babysitters to have in mind for when you need

-If you are going from 2 incomes to 1, are you planning ahead?

-How each of you were raised? What were things that you liked and didn’t like and what you will do and not do while parenting your little one together?

Another thing to help you prepare for your baby is a sleep routine. We recommend planning baby feeding and sleep schedules and routine your baby sooner than later to make your life easier.

Advice from us when it comes to preparing for your new-born. Of course, you will want to search everything online with tips and advice for pregnancies and bringing your new-born to the world. But it’s best to stay away from the forums. There are so many pregnancy sites out there that haven’t been updated for years and years.  Which is why they are a waste of your time. The best way to get good and useful advice would be asking your parents or friends that have been parents for a long time, of course your doctor and even a blogger whose parenting and pregnancy stories are similar to yours. There is no better advice than that of people who have been through the same or a similar journey to yours.
