Most expectant mothers have mixed feelings, either they are excited for the arrival of their babies or nervous of going to labor. On the other hand, moms should be ready and in good condition in welcoming their babies when they arrive.
To achieve this, expectant mothers should do some things. Probably, you will hear many pieces of advice from your loved ones on what to do before your baby arrives. There are really plenty of lists to do. Hence, it is also advisable that you do the most important things so that you will not be overwhelmed.
Huffington Post shares to-do-list for expectant mothers before their babies arrive:
1. Go Somewhere
Plan a vacation or just go to some places you like, probably to a friend's house, mall, church or in the restaurant. This is the last chance to go outside without any preparation. When your baby is born, you cannot get away for a few years.
2. Pamper Your Spouse
Do not forget to pamper your husband and revive intimacy between you. Sometimes a husband is neglected when the baby is born. Take time to appreciate your husband so that your relationship with him is strengthened. You'll see -- he will be more inspired on the arrival of your baby.
3. Nurture Yourself
As you pamper your husband, you need to pamper yourself, too. Go to a salon. Have a foot spa massage, polish your finger and toenails, or get the latest haircut. You can also get some good sleep to recharge and feel more rejuvenated. Doing any of these can surely nurture your pregnancy. If you feel good about yourself, your baby would feel good, too.
4. Attend a Parenting Class
Momvelous states that one of the most important things an expectant mom should do is to know how to take good care of her baby. Knowing the basics of baby care must be learned. It is recommendable that you attend a parenting class or you can ask a friend with children on some few basics.
5. Take Time to Meditate
A miracle is coming your way. Take time to reflect and meditate for the blessing that is to come and the journey that simply awaits you.
