When i was about to give birth with my kids, I prepared a lot. I bought some baby clothes, diaper, feeding bottle I fix the crib and everything that I will be taking to the hospital. I even cleaned the house regularly and the curtains. i want the house to be clean for the coming of my baby. I research stuffs that will help in development of my kids. I even choose what hospital i would give birth and whose the doctor... almost everything. I dont want to worry about other things after i gave birth. I want my child to have my whole attention.

I assume you are pregnant . . . congratulations!!! Having a baby is always an exciting time for the mother especially. You can never completely prepare for the arrival of the baby but you can only do so much. If you already know the gender of the baby and have completed the second semester, it will probably be wise to start shopping, however you do it is up to you. May I suggest you plan a baby shower or have a friend do it for you, you might save up a lot of money on baby goodies. But then again you are talking about choosing a country to give birth in, then a baby shower might not be possible . . . Good luck with the pregnancy, hope you have a healthy one!

hi there. preparing for the coming of a baby is quite exciting. i suggest that you go online and search for the checklist for baby needs as well as you needs. this will help you organize your things. dont only prepare for the things but prepare yourself physically and emotionally because there are many changes that will happen when the baby will come out. good luck.
