You are pregnant with your first baby
and your due date is approaching. You can't wait to finally hold your baby in your arms.
One dayĀ you run into your friend who has already had a baby about a year ago.Ā After a bit of catch-up,Ā she asks you, "so, are you prepared for the 4th trimester?"Ā
"What do you mean?"
"You know, after the baby is born."
"Oh, of course," you laugh, "I have the nursery set up and the diapers andĀ so many cute onesies and the swaddle blanketsĀ and everything!"
"No, I mean are you ready for what you'll need."
You had heard that thingsĀ could be hard after a baby comes, but you hadn't really given it much thought.
What do you say?
