@thishollywoodgirl, the advice I didn’t expect was to start taking prenatals before ttc. I also got an app to help track my periods. not knowing what kind of birth control you’re on or if your a big planner I don’t really know what else to add.

@thishollywoodgirl - Preparing to TTC is a little different for everyone I think. I prepared by taking prenatals and researching where I wanted to give birth (ended up choosing a birth centre within a hospital). This was good because it was a difficult place to get into and I had to tell the doctor that was where I wanted to give birth at my first appointment in order to get in. I also ended up using a fertility app and ovulation tests around month 3 and spent a lot of time watching TTC and pregnancy vlogs on YouTube.

Thank you both!
I will definitely have to try out an app to track my periods though, and the prenatals before TTC - we wont be trying until [name_u]July[/name_u] or later of next year but it’s good to have an idea of what to do.

As for birthing options, I think S/O and I are likely going to use our local hospital - it recently opened a new birthing centre though, [name_m]SIL[/name_m] used it last year and she seemed to have a good experience with it.
