Pregnancy is often viewed as an exciting journey. However, on an alternate journey, the Intended Parents do not bring the baby and may feel disconnected or impatient. Some ways to play an active role during pregnancy include trying to build a strong bond with your Spouse and sharing the exciting news with friends and family.
Many Intended Parents find preparing their home and life for the addition of a child takes effort. Here are some healthy and beneficial ways to nest and prepare for the birth of your surrogate baby.
- Prepare your home baby.Many times “nesting” can look like grooming. However you choose to prepare your home for the baby, you’ll want to create a space for welcoming the baby home. Many parents start by organizing the nursery, babysitting all the rooms, and giving your home a good cleaning and disinfecting.
- Cook meals ahead of time.Start early to save time (and energy) later! Once baby arrives, thank yourself for having a variety of foods in your freezer that can be reheated at any time. Not all families will have people bringing them food when the baby arrives. Having meals ready will give you one less thing to worry about when your family dynamics change overnight.
- Discuss serious matters.Now is the time to start dealing with important matters such as wills, guardians, and guardians. The unexpected can happen at any time, and talking about these things with your partner will help you both be prepared if necessary. Do your research and talk to potential caregivers to make sure they’re on board.
- Organize your hospital kit.You want to make sure you have everything you need to bring your baby home comfortably! Put your car seat in and pack the baby’s diaper, blanket, and clothes to take home. If you will be traveling and staying in a hotel for the birth of the baby, also prepare your suitcase or overnight bag.
Even though you’re not physically carrying your child, there’s still a lot to do to prepare for the baby’s arrival! Preparing your home and life ahead of time will not only help the wait time go by quickly, it will also give you peace of mind.
