Relax moms, help are on their way with these smart and easy ideas to help you prepare mentally and physically for labor. Take a look and know that just completing a few things on this list is enough to make you feel empowered and in control. Yup, you got this!

Rest

You can't get a good night's sleep and then pull it out later when you're tired from eating sessions and burping late at night (although that would be nice!). But getting enough sleep in the third trimester will help you feel rested and refreshed. So try hitting the hay a little earlier and taking a nap when you need it.

Eat right

Fueling your soon-to-be-delivered body with healthy foods is a smart path to success when it comes to preparing for labor. As you approach the end of your pregnancy, fill your plate with nutrient-dense pregnancy superfoods such as lean meats, lentils, yogurt, wild salmon, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains.

Take class

The most important thing parents-to-be can do to prepare for labor and delivery is to take childbirth classes. The options are wide and varied, but most include relaxation techniques, breathing techniques, various delivery positions, pain relief options, and some tips related to basic newborn care.

You will also have the opportunity to meet new people, connect with your partner, and ask any questions about your upcoming big day.

Keep moving

We're not going to lie - childbirth is hard work, which is why exercising regularly during pregnancy sets you up for the challenge. By sticking to a routine you enjoy, whether it's walking, swimming, light dance classes, or light yoga, you'll increase your strength and stamina, and both will come in handy when it's time to push. If you can, do 30 minutes of exercise at least five days a week.

Focus on relaxation

If you see it, you can achieve it! Practicing mindfulness through mediation, yoga, or deep breathing can help train your mind to stay focused and relaxed on the big day. Stretching, visualization techniques or hypnosis can all be used to relieve fear and anxiety. You might even consider hypnobirthing as a relaxation tool to use during labour.

Wear your hospital bag

Another easy task to do is to pack a hospital bag so that it's ready to be used (and put it together is a fun thing!). Check out our practical list of items that you really need to include when you go to a hospital or delivery center, as well as some other good stuff for you, your new baby, and your partner.

Collect help

Create a support system before giving birth with some friends and family lining up to help. Whenever you can, say "yes!" for extra help, is it an offer to take your dog for a walk, cook food, or wash clothes. You may also consider renting a doula, either for convenience and support during delivery or as a post-trial help.

Write a birth plan

While it's certainly not mandatory, making your wish known before you give birth can help you feel empowered and ready and the birth plan is the right place to reveal everything. By placing a pen on paper, you can tell your delivery and childbirth team how you feel about pain relievers, certain delivery positions and use of IV, as well as your partner's role (sharing the umbilical cord, sucking, holding the baby).

Prepare supplies

How does it feel opening a pantry and seeing your favorite granola bar? You'll enjoy the same fun vibrations if you've filled the detergents, paper towels, and some food in the freezer. "Gorge," or stockpiling what you might need earlier means less stress and less run to the store - and more time to hug your sweet new baby.
