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..

Has your car been serviced recently? If not, you should definitely need to get this done as fast as possible. Send your car to the mechanics and make sure everything’s in safe, working order. Getting a baby capsule for the car is also another essential task. Ask around for accredited installers.

You may also with to install sun shades on your car windows to ensure that the harsh sunlight does not damage your baby’s delicate eyes and 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.

Dogs and cats can be dangerous around your bundle of joy, so make sure you take the necessary precautions if you own any pets. You should get any in-house security fences installed to set boundaries for where your pets can and cannot go to ensure the safety of your baby. And speaking of safety, it’s the perfect time now to get your dog or cat vaccinated and brought in for a check-up as well.

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.
