Things you may need before baby is born:

• Fit ball
• Maternity bras (Handy hint: you usually need the next number and cup size up from your previous size so for example a 12B before pregnancy becomes 14C in pregnancy).
• Breast pads (as colostrum can leak from about 20 weeks onwards).
• Read about hypnobirthing and book into classes if that's something that appeals to you. 
• Consider doing a baby first aid course through St John Ambulance. 
• Join St John Ambulance if you aren't already a member. Did you know that there is a specific membership for those of us who live rural or remote in Western Australia? 
• Head to the Red Nose site to read up about setting up a nursery, buying a car seat and other baby furniture, safe sleeping practices amd the effects of smoking on your baby before and after birth.
• Consider joining the Australian Breastfeeding Association.
