Top Tips for Preparing for Another Baby
Tip 1: Break the News Thoughtfully
When telling your child(ren) about the new baby, tie the timeline to events they can relate to, like holidays or birthdays. This helps make the wait feel less endless for younger children who may not fully understand time yet.
Get them involved in the pregnancy! Show them baby bump pictures from when you were pregnant with them or let them take part in creating bump photos now. Small gestures like these can make them feel special and included.
Tip 2: Take a Refresher Antenatal Class
Even if you’ve been through pregnancy and birth before, there’s always more to learn! Whether you’re hoping for a different birth experience this time or aiming to replicate a positive one, antenatal education is key.
Refresher antenatal classes are tailored to parents expecting their second or third baby. They help you reflect on past experiences, prepare for this birth, and take time to focus on this baby and pregnancy.
How was/were your previous birth experiences?
Do you want to have a different experience, or do your best to ensure that your labour and birth are as good as they can possibly be again?
Take some time out for this pregnancy, this baby, and prepare for this birth.

Tip 3: Prepare Siblings for the Transition
Introducing your older child(ren) to the idea of a sibling takes time and sensitivity:
Books: Use stories like There’s a House Inside My Mummy or Topsy and Tim: The New Baby to spark conversations.
Conversations: Relate the concept of babies to people they know who have siblings and talk about how babies need sleep, food, and care.
Big Changes: Make significant adjustments (like moving bedrooms or potty training) at least 2–3 months before the baby arrives to avoid overwhelming them.
Tip 4: Prepare for Parenthood 2.0 (or 3.0!)
Every addition to your family is different, and the dynamics change with each child. Some days will feel overwhelming, but many others will be filled with love and joy.
As you navigate this transition:
Reflect on past experiences to plan for a birth that feels right for you.
Take time for self-care and give yourself grace—“good enough” is often perfect.
Embrace the new normal and know that every stage, even the tough ones, is temporary.
As I say in the eBook, some days will feel like the hardest thing in the world, but some days you’ll feel like you have everything mastered.
It’s a journey.
Sometimes, the jump from 1-2 is less of a shock than 0-1. Sometimes it’s the other way round. 2-3 can seem unmanageable or the baby can slot right in.
It is all normal.
