      Getting Ready for Your Baby - 50Minutes

      Getting ready for your baby

      Problem: you are finally pregnant, and you are very excited about your baby. Nevertheless, you are plagued by worries and feel overwhelmed with questions: how can I get ready for the arrival of this baby? What do I have to do before they come to make them feel at home? How am I going to get organised when they will be there?

      Aims: although this guide is mainly for expectant mothers, it aims to help both parents to prepare, materially and psychologically, for the arrival of their new baby in order to welcome it as best they can.

      FAQs:

      When should I tell my boss I’m pregnant?

      How should I choose my paediatrician?

      When should I register my baby in a crèche?

      How can I get over the baby blues?

      How should I prepare myself if I have twins?

      What will happen if my baby is premature?

      What are the obligatory vaccinations for babies?

      How can I prepare my older children for the arrival of their new brother or sister?

      How can I get my dog ready for the arrival of the baby?

      Welcoming your baby means giving them a pregnancy that is full of love and kindness. It also means anticipating their future needs in order to get ready for this extraordinary adventure that you and your family are about to experience. The parents-to-be will therefore find in this guide a whole range of advice to help them to get their house ready, plan what will be necessary for the newborn and deal with the pregnancy period as best they can, in order to be psychologically prepared to give their baby the time and attention it needs. This guide will also attempt to provide some answers to the questions which often arise over the weeks before and after the birth.

      Dealing with your pregnancy and preparing to give birth

      Wellbeing above all

      Although being pregnant is not an illness, women are advised to see a gynaecologist as soon as possible. Your baby’s happiness starts with your wellbeing. Take care of yourself: eat a balanced diet, go easy on fatty, sugary foods and fizzy drinks so as not to gain more weight than you have to, and drink a litre and a half of water a day. Try to
