Wondering how much it will cost you to bring your newborn baby into the world? Well equipped health plans are required to cover pregnancy as well as newborn baby costs as well as an amount spent on testing & screening tests for pregnant women and newborns.

According to your company, you might fill in any gap with holiday leaves. Enquire about your leaves from your working department early so you have time to plan and fill out the necessary forms and complete.
DO SOME FINANCIAL PLANNING

Consider opening up a savings account for your little one. You can then make monthly contributions and then you can just adjust the monthly balance to go smoothly.
DO ESSENTIAL HOME REPAIRS
Set necessary holes in the wall and replace light bulbs. These are the basics ? Who has time for that with a newborn baby to get these things done ! Get all these home repairs , renovations done before the baby arrives. If you and your partner aren’t handy, consider hiring a helpman.
