2nd baby questions

Kirsten

When should I start to get his room ready? As this is my second I've heard they come sooner?

Would it be okay to keep toddler home with us while recovering to bond (husband will be home)?

Tips and pointers as I feel like it was forever ago I had the first?

Trying for VBAC even tho dr said I need to be in labor or have a C Section by 39 weeks.

Currently, I'm 30 weeks - sprinkle shower Saturday!
