Pay attention to your diet, level of exercise and relaxation to
maximise health.
Seek advice and information about place of delivery and when selected
search out supportive help.
Obtain treatment for specific health problems.
Think about homoeopathic, Chinese medical or other options to minimise
difficulties during delivery and afterwards.
Who will you want at the actual birth? I would suggest partner/helper,
midwife and perhaps one other. You don't have to invite the whole
neighbourhood!
Arrange for at least a month of rest and recuperation afterwards
so that you can be involved solely with the new baby (or as much
as possible given your home situation).
Relax and enjoy the experience. Pregnancy and delivery is a normal,
human event.
