Dear Lovelies,
Some have likened everything that has to do with labor, delivery and postpartum to the apocalypse. Let me put you through everything you need to know about it. Some people say that having a baby changes everything, just like the apocalypse changes the world we call home…
What many don’t realize is that once you become a parent, you metamorphose into a whole new being. Everything will change and I mean EVERYTHING! So the earlier you get your head in the game, the better for you and everyone around you.
If you argue that women have been giving birth since forever and nothing has changed and it’s not like they have more heads than you do… then you are living in denial.
The first step to becoming prepared is to acquaint yourself with childbirth books, ‘Supernatural Childbirth’ is a good one to start with. The next step is to eliminate fear as it can impede the labor process. Just know that you are not alone, you are not the first and you won’t be the last to be afraid.
Go baby shopping and include everything from baby sleep suits to freezer foods and detergents. Trust me, you will be needing them and be glad you got them.
Pack your hospital bag few weeks before time, having in mind that the EDD has a rough estimate of plus or minus 2 weeks.
If you’ve got these few tips covered, then I guess you are well on your way to surviving and thriving in the baby apocalypse. Get going momas!
XOXO!
