The ultimate list of things to do before your baby is born. This is a great roundup of the best posts all about how to prepare for your baby being born!
When I was pregnant the first time, I remember searching all over Pinterest trying to find things to do before my babies were born, breastfeeding tips, ideas for what to pack in my hospital bag, and all kinds of other baby-related topics. It was exciting but also not exciting because it was kind of stressful.
So to help out all you new (or more seasoned moms out there) I am putting together a few posts with links to the most helpful posts for pregnant and new mamas! Today’s post is the second in that series, and it’s all about things to do before your baby is born!
Before my first baby was born, I made a huge list of things to do to keep myself busy and also get ready for him to come. It was incredibly helpful, and I think that a big part of why the transition to being a mom was so smooth was because I was so prepared. It can be hard to figure out ways to stay busy that are also productive and help you get ready for your baby, so I have put together a list of ten posts full of things to do before your baby is born!
As is usual in roundups, if you want to pin one of these images except the collages, please click through to that mama’s site. These ladies put a lot of work into their posts and I want to give them credit!
Here are ten of the most comprehensive, best, and most popular posts all about things to do before your baby is born:

I love these kind of roundup posts! It’s so helpful to all the moms to be. I also like, that each one offers something different, which is always good because you have more options and ideas.
Chelsea Johnson says
Right? Every mom is different so it makes sense that every list is different. And it helps to look at a bunch before deciding what you want to pack in your own!!
