    Some other important things to remember! Make sure you bring any necessary medical documents and have that insurance card ready to go. Also, have a pediatrician picked out well beforehand. Good luck folks!

    I'm a newborn photographer myself and I always recommend to book your session while youre still pregnant! Obviously not at the early stage but even 1-2 months before your due date. Busy photographers might be fully booked and it's important to get the pictures done at the first 14 days of life!

  • @diction4453

    this video is pretty much perfect, i'm gonna show it to my husband. however, if you are looking into a newborn and even a maternity photoshoot, you want to try and schedule it a bit ahead of time with some places. it can be tricky, especially for a newborn shoot, to schedule a month or two ahead of time because you never know what could happen but usually photographers are pretty understanding and will try to work with you and when your baby decides to come.

    • @dadverb
      @dadverb  Před 6 lety +1

      You are absolutely right. We got lucky with our photographer getting booked so fast. Scheduling it a few weeks out is the best way to go.

    Wish i would have found this before having our baby. It would've saved me a lot of stress in figuring it out on my own. Our hospital provided so much that my husband didn't need half of what he packed, though. Better than the other way around! Also, repping that BYU hoodie!

    I’m so glad I found your channel! My husband’s already freaking out and I’m not even pregnant yet. I’ve shown him some videos from nurses/doulas, but I think he’ll relate more to a man’s perspective. One other good thing to pack that I heard mentioned on another channel is some sort of sleeping mat for dad so he can sleep more comfortably during a long hospital stay.

    This seriously made the stay with my wife in the hospital a lot easier! She had to have an unplanned C section, so instead of 348 hours in the hospital we were there 4 full days. My only amendment to this is prepare for the worst case scenario, and pack 3/4 days worth of clothes. The snacks saved my butt, trail mix, crackers, nuts anything filling and able to eat one handed.

    Hurts me when you say you need to pay for your stay at the hospital.
    In Norway, everything is free.
    Normally, they'll charge you a small fee for each visit to the hospital/doctor and you'll have to cover some of your medicine etc. ( Still really cheap, and if you have paid over a certain amount over the year, it'll all get covered/free. )
    But from the second you get a positive test, everything is free. Completely free, if you're insecure just call ahead and take all the tests they need. They'll follow you closely all the way, multiple checkups and ultrasounds. Doesn't even need to related to the pregnancy, if she'd have broken her leg everything would've been free, etc.
    And my wife has been unable to work for a while and gotten it covered, we'll soon get 10 months of full leave from work, with full pay, that we can share (almost) how we want. + 4 weeks (2 each) of leave right after the birth.
    After that we'll get a small amount to cover food, clothes and basics for the baby untill it turns 18.

    • @dadverb
      @dadverb  Před 6 lety +1

      Yeah, I'm sure it's relative to each baby, but a good skill to hone regardless. Our boy loved the swaddle and we eventually got some zip-up swaddle pods that he loved on. A lot more convenient to just zip instead of folding like a Chipotle burrito.

    I don't know how it is in your region but here in Estonia, you can get a personal midwife. Our worked at the very same hospital where we had a delivery. So when we had to go and things started to happen fast even before reaching the hospital, thanks to the midwife the paperwork and everything was taken care for even before we arrived. If it's your first baby, everything is happening so quick so even when labour does take time, you want as little distractions as possible. Getting a midwife is a good idea!
