Preparing for a baby should start when you first find out that you're pregnant. Aside from taking lessons and reading up on what to expect during the pregnancy, you should also be preparing for your due date as well as for when you're taking your baby home.
In addition to buying supplies for your hospital stay as well as for the baby, you could also look to hiring a nanny or a babysitter that can help you out especially if you're not planning on being a full-time stay at home mom. If you're currently employed, you can ask your company if you can file a leave about a week before your due date if possible. That way, you have a week to be prepared and get relaxed and ready to give birth.
