What is on your “prep” list for baby countdown?

Question

I’m wondering if I should even bother with meal freezing? 
So far... I’ve stocked up on cleaning supplies. Switched over to Method, hand soap everywhere and multiple hand sanitizers. 
I’ve started a house wide deep clean, but it’s going slowly. 
Baby Laundry is 90% done. 
I’ve started my hospital bag list. 
Arranged care for my critters while we’re in the hospital. 
Contacted my daughters school to notify them that’ll she be out of school the days we’re in the hospital. She’s staying with grandparents by the hospital I’m delivering and it’s an hour from home. 
Nursery is ready. 
And that’s all I’ve done. Tomorrow marks 30 days to c-section. What’s on your prep list?

Answer

YES DO IT! You’ll be so happy you did. Nights can get so stressful and there’s nothing better than not having to plan, prep and cook every day. Seriously it made a huge difference. We were lucky also that our church made us a care calendar and we were brought meals every other day for the first 2 weeks. Then I had 2 more weeks of freezer meals prepped so I didn’t have to plan or worry about dinners for the first month, such a relief.

Answer

Do it! I did it with my fist pregnancy last year and I will be doing it this time around as well. It was a major life savor!

Answer

I didn’t think I would need a c-section so I didn’t meal prep and I was very sorry that I didn’t! Next time around I plan on freezing my favorite soup, tuna casserole, lasagne, and maybe some chili or a stew. The rest of your list looks great, though! If you plan to breastfeed, I’d get your pump all set up and designate a pumping “station” with easy access to nipple cream, pumping bra, extra burp cloths or rags, and a milk catcher for your non-pumping breast. If you’re bottle/formula feeding, get all of your bottles and supplies ready. 
Put a basket of pads or depends underwear next to your toilet so you can easily change when you’re using the bathroom. Also, wash some long night gowns and put them near your bed so you can easily slip into one.
Also, wash your guest sheets and towels, and clean their bathroom so you don’t have to worry about any of that when you’re recovering. I wasn’t planning to have my parents stay at our house, but after my emergency c-section I was so grateful to have extra hands around to help with the baby so they ended up staying for about a week after I got home from the hospital.
