Preparing your maternity leave

Prepare everything you need for the day you'll give birth. Your case should be packed about a month before you're due. Besides your everyday belongings, remember all of the medical paperwork you may need. Put them all together in the same file.
Remember to write down all of the important phone numbers on your fridge or next to the phone, ie taxi, ambulance, doctor as well as all of the people your husband should ring once your baby is born.
Think to ask someone you trust to be able and come and look after your other children if you have to leave in the night, or simply watch over your home, feed the cats etc.
