Buy some nursing essentials

You should also ensure you have enough nursing essentials like nursing clothes, bras and pads. You could check online to see what options are available or if you're still able to, go shopping.

You could also have some of the maternity clothes you already have adjusted (like adding a zipper) so that you don't have to buy new items that you'll only use for a short period of time.

Prep your space

It's also very important to organize your space in a way that will accommodate you and the baby in a convenient way.

This might mean getting someone to deep clean and rearrange some things and organise your supplies so that they're easily accessible. Doing this will help you have a much easier time settling back in once the baby comes.

Organize for some extra help

It's also wise not to assume that you'll be able to do everything on your own. You never know, you might need more time to heal, and even when you don't, you need support.

This is the time when you should be figuring out who will help you out whether it's a house help if you don't have one, or a family member.

It would be much better to have someone around immediately rather than have that extra burden of looking for someone later.
