How did you prepare for your pregnancy?

Hi Congratulations! It must be an exciting and overwhelming time for you and family. If this is your first baby there will be quite a lot of things to buy before baby arrives. I will suggest doing this in the second trimester which most people call the honeymoon period. It is good to have a checklist of items you need to buy and probably some things you can inherit from friends or family members who just had babies too. It is also good to watch some videos of breastfeeding and read up about things like storing breast milk to prepare for the early days ahead. I did not really prepare way in advance but just read up whenever I have time and whenever I am in a new trimester I will read about the things to note for the trimester for eg the diet and supplements I should take. You can download the Babycenter app which has a week by week guide throughout pregnancy and even after baby is born. Most importantly enjoy the pregnancy as this is supposed to be a joyous period so don't stress yourself out too much.
