[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A good, nutritious, balanced, clean diet matters a lot in the health of your baby.  I had GD and I was extremely careful about every bite I put in my mouth.  My baby's health and the state of my placenta was excellent as a result. I put on a total of 8 lbs and my baby was 6.5 lbs at birth.  I was able to shed the pregnancy weight very rapidly.

My favorite book was Dr. Spock because it said to follow your instinct and my instinct was to love my baby!

Breastfeeding is very hard for the FTM. You need a lot of help, very good diet and maybe it is worth it to get a lactation consultant.  Be flexible in feeding, you may need to supplement with formula at time so that you can recover or get some ZZzzzs

All post delivery help makes your life easier.  If you choose to outsource, outsource before baby arrives so that you can supervise and set expectations and try the people out.

Declutter ruthlessly. Konmari your whole house.  Pare down.

Set up all financial papers in order, including wills, extra insurance, power of attorney etc.  Especially important if you are an immigrant and have no family in this country. [/quote]

This sounds extremely disordered. [/quote]
