Právě jste se rozhodli mít miminko…

A big life step that will bring joy, love and new experiences.

But with this nice decision comes a lot of responsibility and the need to start thinking about many things around. In this article, we'll take a look at a few key aspects to start thinking about once you decide to become a parent. Luck favors the prepared, as they say, and with the arrival of a new person in the world comes a lot of beautiful new moments, but also unforgettable responsibilities, and it is certainly meaningful to be aware of them. And you can find out which ones belong here.

The first important step to conceiving a baby is definitely…

Medical preparation

One of the most important aspects you should start thinking about is your health and the health of your partner. It is important to ensure that you are both in the best possible shape to ensure a healthy pregnancy and birth.

Before becoming pregnant, it is a good idea to visit your doctor and have a routine health check-up. Your doctor can recommend what lifestyle changes you should make to prepare your body as well as possible for conception and subsequent pregnancy.

In terms of pre-pregnancy care, it is important to start taking vitamins and minerals that are essential for the healthy development of the baby, such as folic acid. Specifically, this substance reduces the risk of developmental defects in the fetus.

Financial preparation

Whether we like it or not, having a baby is financially demanding and it's important to start planning how to deal with this gradual increase in costs. It is a good idea to start saving money, for example by opening a special account or savings fund for your child.

Tip: Try to make a budget that includes all the costs associated with pregnancy and caring for the newborn. Be sure to include expenses for clothing, food, medical care, daycare, and other necessities.

Legal preparation

Before the arrival of the baby, it is practical not to forget to arrange some legal matters, such as drawing up a will or taking out life insurance. Of course, it also depends on the specific situation you are in.

Home preparation

It's important to start thinking about how your home will transform when the baby arrives. You will need to furnish a room for the child, ensure sufficient security within the existing interior and maybe even think about a complete change of living if your current space is too small or unsuitable. Regarding tips for creating a children's room, we are preparing an interview for you with our chief designer and two-time mother Sabina, who is also "responsible" for the design and subsequent implementation of our beloved Showroom.

Education and support

It's good to anticipate what's coming and know your options. Nowadays, there is a lot of information available, so it would be a shame not to use it and thus avoid something that may not happen to you. But it is necessary to carefully choose the source from which you draw advice and determine your path in a direction that is close to you. It is certainly beneficial to start reading books on pregnancy and child care so that you are as well prepared as possible for your new role in life. You can also attend different types of courses or join selected online communities where you can share your experiences. And you can also gradually follow the posts here on our blog. :)

We would like to gradually create a comprehensive overview of advice for all those who are just about to become mothers, are experiencing pregnancy and will eventually become parents of a small baby themselves. We'll take it in order. So in this first blog, we quickly presented the very first steps that need to be considered before conception itself. In the following weeks, we will discuss each of the above-mentioned points in more depth, and then we will start developing further...

We will be happy if you are with us in this process and the articles will be inspiring for you. :)
