By nature, I’m a problem solver. When I’m faced with something new and unknown, I tackle it in the best way I know how: hitting up Google to research until my eyes glaze over, speaking to friends and family, and psychotically documenting all the information I collect so I can compare and contrast before making my final decisions.
This strategy was no different upon learning I was due to become a mother to my daughter, in the winter of June 2021.
I was passionate about having all the background knowledge, all the tips to make the journey easier, and also doing everything I could to make sure my husband and I made the absolute most of what I now look at as the most beautiful, special time of our entire lives.
My motto: parent smarter, not harder.
Watch: Be a "good" mum. Post continues after video.
I look back with zero regrets, and I’m so excited if all my planning can help to make another mum-to-be’s experience during pregnancy and early motherhood even better. Below I’ve listed everything that helped me in my journey, separated into those two very distinctive periods: pregnancy and postpartum.
