Just entered my 8th month and suddenly im feeling like there is so much to prepare and i dont know where to start. What all should i be focusing on now, hospital bag, exercises, diet? First time mom here so pls guide.
This is the time to sort out hospital paperwork and insurance approvals so there is no last minute panic. We listed out essentials and bought baby basics gradually to spread the cost. Keep some emergency cash ready too.
Mainly stick closely to your appointments now, they monitor baby's position and growth. Note any reduced movements, swelling or pain and call your gynac promptly. This stage needs a bit more watchfulness.
8th month is when you get serious about prep. Pack your hospital bag, finalise your delivery plan and keep your scan and checkup dates strictly. Rest more and watch for any reduced movement or leaking, report those at once.
I just delivered recently so this is fresh, the 8th month flew by honestly. Keep your bag ready by the door, I learnt that the hard way. Rest as much as you can now because sleep gets rare after.
