Hey ladies any last minute advice (prep for before I go in, certain things you wish you cleaned, took care of before the baby came, things no one told you?) I've just been scheduled for tomorrow at noon. TIA
A step stool really helped me in and out of the shower, bed and to get into cabinets. Have an easy to carry basket with all your nursing/bottle and bathroom supplies you can take with you from room to room. Try to stay on one floor of your house if you
-Move as much as you can within reason as soon as they let you. Get up and walk to the bathroom as soon as you are allowed. Walk down the hospital hallway as soon as you are allowed. Don't push yourself too far, but push yourself with
Definitely make sure your house is at least mostly clean. That will make coming home a lot sweeter, rather than entering back into a mess you know you inevitably will have to clean up. That was really nice for me.
Having a step stool to get in and out of the hospital bed would have been great, you will still need help though, I couldn't lift my legs up for like 4 days.
i wish I wouldn't have had visitors the first day. She was born at night so no visitors
