Making the Decision to Have a Baby

Choosing to have a baby may well be the biggest decision you ever make. So, while you should never take planning a pregnancy lightly, on the flip side, there is nothing to be gained by becoming overwhelmed by it all.

Like so much that is associated with conception, pregnancy and parenthood, you will have to find a happy balance between being deliberate and careful and just going with the flow.

My BabyManual’s pre-pregnancy section has been created in order to help you achieve this balance more easily. Our team of professional researchers and healthcare experts has done all the research on how to prepare yourself for parenthood, and its innumerable challenges and joys, so that it’s all together in one place, easy to access 24/7 and, most importantly, available for free. In fact, we have created a vast online library of helpful articles covering just about every conceivable topic related to planning your pregnancy, going through childbirth, and becoming a parent.

But right now, if you’re still in the process of making the decision whether or not to have a baby, our articles can help with many of the non-clinical aspects involved in that decision process, including:

• Factors to consider when deciding to have a baby
• Buying supplies for pregnancy
• Budgeting for a new baby
• Making a pre-pregnancy to-do list
• Taking care of your own wellbeing before becoming a parent
