Of course there is some planning which you need to do as you near the end of your pregnancy, such as creating a birth plan and packing your hospital bag. Both of these may seem small and of little consequence, but they are important.
When the time comes for you to go to the hospital things can get very chaotic and if you have failed to pack your hospital bag then something will get left out. It is also very easy to deviate from what you have planned for your birthing experience, and that is why having a birth plan in place is so important.
