Getting Organised before your Due Date
You are expecting your baby and it’s getting near to your due-date, now is the time to plan those things which will be impossible after the birth date. So, while you are still able and maybe even with some helping hands, here are a few pointers which may be helpful, but I’m sure that you can think of many others.
In the months leading up to the expected event it is a good idea to start to stock up on all those heavy provisions like soap powder, soap , sugar etc. After the happy event you’ll be hard pressed for much needed rest and sleep and shopping for soap powder will be the last thing on your mind. Stock up on readymade food packets or frozen foods especially frozen vegetables which are so good when you get back home. Pre-making dinners and freezing them is also a good option.
It is a very good idea to have general house cleaning exercise throughout. Don’t over-extend yourself but after baby has arrived you will find precious little time to house cleaning chores.
All those outside clothes which require washing and ironing can now be done so they will be ready for those days after you have delivered your baby.
Get in a few packs of diapers (nappies) for when you get home with your baby. It’s useful to stock up with 2 to 3 packs of all sizes.
Make sure you find time to get that final haircut and maybe a pedicure nearer to the due-date.
Ensure that your “baby-room” is fully completed with all furniture, wallpaper and all accessories fixed, working and in place.
In the very last week before your due-date, contact all your email (phone) contacts reminding them of the good news and the fact that you will soon be unavailable for three to five weeks as you’ll be tied up with your new parental duties.
For those very few friends and relatives not on email, Facebook, phone etc. have some happy event cards with envelopes pre made ready for the happy day so that you can send them when you get home with your baby.
Enjoy some long walks and personal candle lit dinners while you can before the due date. It’s great for your personal relaxation and puts you and baby into a peaceful environment which greatly benefits baby.
Ensure that you have your hospital bag packed and available with your baby's stuff packed as well.
