Reduce stress and keep on track by following this pregnancy to-do checklist.
1. Finalize Baby's Sleeping Arrangements
Decide on where your baby will sleep during the first few months, whether it's in a bassinet, crib, or co-sleeper in your room.
2. Research Cord Blood Banking
Look into the benefits and considerations of banking your baby's cord blood, which can be a potential source of treatment for future health conditions.
3. Find a Birth Doula
If you're interested, start looking for a birth doula to support and assist you through the childbirth process.
Communicating with Your Baby
Begin talking or singing to your belly, especially from around week 27, when your baby starts to hear and may respond to your voice, fostering early emotional connections.
