The Big Baby Build Up
Pyjamas? Check! iPod? Check! Slippers? Check! One by one, you pack your essentials into your overnight bag, and feel those butterflies start to flutter in your belly – or then again, that may be just your little one rolling over to get comfy. But you know they don’t have much time to get settled, as your due date is only a few days away.
It’s difficult to know what to take to the hospital, so of course your bag is bursting at the seams with blankets, make up, wipes, snacks, drinks and enough mix and match outfits to clothe you and the entire maternity ward. In fact, you might have to overspill into your partner’s bag which at present only has a tooth brush, a phone charger and a camera inside.
You open the door to the beaming face of your mum who greets her belly-bound grandchild first before giving you a kiss on the cheek and presenting you with a couple of trays of lasagne to pop in the freezer ‘just in case’. She’s been bringing you pre-made dinners for the past month so that you don’t have to think about cooking when you’re both busy with the baby.
A foot suddenly obstructs the door as you’re about to close it – with their arms full of baby paraphernalia your partner stands on the doorstep with a multipack of nappies wobbling on top of the pile of purchases. You both suddenly realised you didn’t have a car-seat for the baby, which warranted a mad dash to the shop, so of course getting a few other bits and bobs at the same time seemed only good sense. It may be the third box of nappies you’ll have stocked in your cupboard, but you can never be too prepared!
The countdown to the big day of giving birth can be an exciting time, but in order for it to go as smoothly as possible, it’s important to be as prepared as possible with all the right provisions in place.
