10 Things You Should and Should Never Do While Pregnant!

Resist the temptation to go shopping for your baby while you’re still pregnant because it won’t actually prepare you for having a child. Most couples start buying lots of stuff, getting a bigger car or upsizing their home when expecting. This might give a fake reassurance that they’re ready for the baby but there are actually more important things to be prepared for.

Keep in mind that the big stuff can wait until you’ve comfortably settled into being a family, and more importantly, remember that all your baby needs is your love and care.

The kind of preparation you need to do, especially if it’s your first pregnancy, includes finding ways to make your life after giving birth easier for you (think about your daily meals), talking to friends and family with a newborn to get an idea of the challenges as well as the joys, and consulting a childbirth educator to know what to prepare for.
