Preparing yourself & your home for the arrival of your brand new little one is a great way to ease your mind ahead of labor.
These are our top tips to help you feel as ready as possible.
1) Stock up on Supplies
Embrace those natural nesting instincts & stock up on EVERYTHING.
Batch cooking some easy freezer meals is a great idea, as well as kitting out your pantry.
From pasta & rice to cans, tins & jars… even lightbulbs, laundry supplies & loo roll!
And if you’re planning to breastfeed, it’s a great idea to have some nursing clothes ready to go.
2) Pack Your Hospital Bag
Obvious, but essential.
Getting your hospital bag packed & ready to go a few weeks before your due date is a great way to prepare.
It will help things run smoothly on the day, and knowing that it’s ready is sure to ease your mind as you wait.
