Ladies, if you want to receive advice get pregnant and wait for all of the advice givers. There seems to be pressure to do things a certain way, dress a certain way, prepare in a certain way, give birth in a proper way etc., etc. Everyone has their own perspective, but as the person on the receiving end it gets a bit overwhelming (especially as a hormonal pregnant woman!).
However, one thing I am confident of, once the baby arrives it will be fully loved, probably fully read to, will hear lots of music, lots of stories and get to travel lots of places. Each baby is born to its own sets of parents and own family. We will balance the advice carefully and make decisions based on what works best for all of us.
