Getting ready for baby

After you have chosen the provider who will care for you during pregnancy, it’s time to start making a few preparations before baby arrives. Here are a few things you should plan for:

Arrange prenatal appointments
Select a provider who will care for baby
Attend childbirth education and parenting classes
Pack your bag for labor and delivery
Get a car seat so you can safely transport baby home

Not all treatments, tests and services are available at all Mayo Clinic Health System locations. Check with your preferred location in advance.
