Every pregnancy period is filled with excitement, as well as emotional distress (at times). There's so much to do - and also to forget to do - before the arrival of your newborn child that what you really need is a list to help you stay on top of things. So here we go..
If you have owned your car for at least 2 years, it's a good idea to have it checked before the arrival of your child. Don't forget to also shop around for a baby car seat - the hybrid car seats for babies are great, they double as a pram as well as a booster seat, killing two birds with one stone.
You might like to also look into getting the windows of the car tinted to prevent your baby from getting sunburnt (they have extremely delicate skin).
Pregnancy is not all about work either. This is the last chance for you to relax and chill-out - Go get that pregnancy massage, it's fantastic. Why not get a facial as well? If you're on a tight budget, buy the facial masks for home use along with a bubble bath and relax at home instead.
A visit to your hairdresser might not be a bad idea as well. Many mums choose to have a quick make-over with a no-fuss hairstyle that's easy to maintain knowing that they will have very little time for grooming once the baby is born - besides, short hairstyles are back in fashion! While you're at it, you might as well go all out and get a facial or a pedicure and pamper yourself to the brim, relax and enjoy.
Most important of all would be to take care of your other household members, namely: your family dog or cat. This is the time to get your furry friend worming and flea treatment as well as other required injections. Keeping them healthy results in further safety to your newborn, so a thorough medical check wouldn't be such a bad idea at all. It is also a time when you might need to think about the safety of your baby with pets in the home. Do you need to install some safety gates to prevent your dog from getting dangerously close to your baby?
Start making changes to your home before your baby gets back from the hospital. You might need to seriously think about whether or not your pet will be allowed to sleep on your bed or couch, or even eat in the kitchen. These changes are for health reasons so make sure your pet is accustomed to these new habits early on.
Dog training school is vital if you have an unruly pet. Misbehaved dogs can pose a real threat to your little one so if you find yourself in this situation, get started and enroll your dog in obedience training. - 30526
