What are some ways to prepare for having your first child?

Cupid’s Advice:

It can be difficult to plan for your first child, as it’s filled with the unexpected. Cupid shares some tips:

1. Support: Find and keep in touch with your support group. It’s good to have friends and family around, but it’s also great to have people around you who are in the same situation with a new baby on the way.

2. Money: Babies cost money. Make sure you’re ready financially for a baby. Diapers don’t come cheap. Work hard to save in the nine months before your child is born.

3. Responsibility: Are you ready to be a new mother or father? Whether it means changing locations or revamping your lifestyle, it’s important to have the right mindset going into parenthood.
