    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
