When you get right down to it, pregnancy and labor are only semi-controlled by you. Your baby may be late or early. Your labor may go perfectly or not quite how you expected. Your birth partner may freak out at the last minute, your breathing methods may not help labor pain at all, or you might even go into labor during a holiday party.
It’s frustrating to not have total control over the situation - but you can add some order to your life with an excellent set of pregnancy checklists. Here at SheKnows Pregnancy & Baby, we offer just that. I’m a huge fan of checklists, they totally help you feel more in control, and there’s something so satisfying about checking off tasks (use red ink!). Check out the following lists, which can help you get organized and add some calm to your world…
