When a new baby is on the way, expectant parents’ emotions go on a roller coaster ride. Anticipation, happiness, fears, and uncertainty all come and go. Once the initial excitement has settled, a lot of questions usually pop up: What should be included in the hospital bag? What should you pack in your hospital bag? And what things should you plan for well in advance before this new chapter of your life begins? Being well-prepared—from pregnancy through birth—makes the transition to parenthood much easier. Before you hold your little one in your arms, there are a few decisions to make and organizational matters to take care of.
