Ready for Birth, Ready for Home?

Ready for birth.
Ready for home?

You've packed the hospital bag. The birth plan is typed and you could recite it. The nursery has been finished for a fortnight and you've started rearranging things that were already fine.

Almost all of that preparation stops at the birth. This is a five minute check on everything that comes after it.

One rule. Tap anything you couldn't answer out loud, at 3am, with your phone in the other room.

Leave the rest. The ones you tap become your list, and you've still got weeks to work through it while you're rested and it's quiet.

First, so I can make this yours

Your due date tells me how long you've actually got, and I'll say so at the end rather than guessing.

Roughly is fine. Nobody's holding you to it.

At the end you can print your own list, and I'll email you the full printable checklist to keep. Your due date is used to time what I send you and nothing else. Unsubscribe any time.

One page, just the ones you flagged. Stick it on the fridge, or take it to your next appointment.
