A lot happens in your life. Some you process more consciously than others and some you don’t experience at all. Some events are the result of a choice, and some you cannot do anything about. Some things also have a great impact on your life, but that does not always have to be the case. One of those events could be having a child on the way. Having a child on the way is fun. We would therefore like to start by congratulating you! Having a child is just about the most beautiful thing in the world and you should be happy about it. But it is also an enormous responsibility. Why? Because having a child means that you have to have quite a few things in order. We understand this very well, and that is why we are going to do our best together. How will we do this? By telling you in this blog exactly what you need to arrange before having a baby!

Paternity test

First of all, it is wise to have a dna testing while pregnant. This may sound a bit extreme, but it is always good to have. This way, you know for sure that the alleged father is really the biological father and there is no doubt about that. If ever a situation arises where doubt is cast, you have this in hand. Also if you get into a dispute over custody or alimony, it is good to have this. There are DNA home test kits easily available.

Finance

When you get a child, you want the very best for him or her. No, your child does not have to have a baby shower at the Burj Khalifa with the royal family, but you do want him or her to have what he or she needs. This is what you need to ensure by getting your finances in order. Paying off debts or making a plan to do so, saving for later, making sure you can buy what you need and staying out of financial stress.

Mental state

The same applies here as to the previous step; you want the very best for your child. However, the execution of this is somewhat different. You can only take care of others if you take good care of yourself. You want to be and remain positive, strong in yourself and be able to withstand stress. In short, you want to be in a good mental state. If you have this together, you can take better care of your child than if you do not. We therefore strongly advise you to start with yourself.
