34 weeks pregnant

Have the preparations gone according to plan? Perhaps you have finished fixing up the baby’s room, the bed, the pram, the changing table, and…yes, there is an awful lot to get to grips with. Try to help with planning and purchasing.

Have you spoken together about the actual delivery and what to expect? Have you thought about your role? If you’re still working on the birth plan letter you might want to add a few lines about what you want and can help with. And be sure to check that the hospital bag is packed and includes everything you might need. There are a lot of lists online of what needs to be in the hospital bag and this might be overwhelming. But remember to keep it simple and focus on only the essentials.
