Oh my god, next weekend! You’re a ticking time bomb! 🙌 Have you gotten everything set up? I’m already making my husband install the car seat and I’m not due until March.

Yes! We got our car seat inspected at the hospital a couple weeks ago, and finished the nursery by Christmas since we had family visiting and my nieces used the room. So now just anxiously awaiting baby!!

Sorry for the delay, baby girl ended up arriving Saturday! We delivered at Rose and had a mostly positive experience. I was induced which was not part of my birth plan so that's the only downside, but otherwise felt it was great. We used a Rose Doula which was the absolute best decision for us and made a huge difference in my experience as well.
But yes Swati I think we ended up being pretty covered with the essentials! The only things I've had to order last minute are some additional pp recovery items beyond the standard (like a sitz bath).

Wow! Congrats! I’ve been working with a doula and while it’s been a little expensive I definitely feel more confident that it’s the right thing to do. May I ask why you were induced? I always thought the likelihood of getting induced goes down when you have an experienced advocate like a doula.

I was induced for preeclampsia concerns. My #1 goal was optimizing for a vaginal delivery so they felt waiting out potential preeclampsia would put me more at risk of needing a c section
