What to prepare before giving birth

For pregnant women, no one can understand the anticipation for the fetus in their belly. After such a long pregnancy, they are just waiting for the moment of delivery. Now that living conditions are better, people are more particular about life than before. Therefore, what to prepare before giving birth has become a hot topic. Pregnant mothers also communicate with each other, fearing that their preparations are not thorough enough, and after giving birth, they will be useless, so they rush to buy things. Preparing everything in advance is the wish of many pregnant mothers.
