5 weeks before c-section. What’s on your to-do list?

So basically as the title says, it’s 5 weeks til my c-section (2 weeks til I go on mat leave, I work 2.5 days a week).

What would you put on your to-do list for these last few weeks of pregnancy? I’m massively in the nesting phase so working through sorting cupboards etc. Baby’s room is all ready with clothes ready to go already etc. What else shall I do nesting wise??

Note I’ve already got a 4yr old DD, she’s at school during the week.

I honestly can’t remember what I did at the end of pregnancy with DD so would love any snippets of advice on how to approach these last few weeks.

Sleep, sleep and more sleep. Followed by baths and Netflix and all the other nice things you'll have to say goodbye to for a while!

I made food for the freezer when I started my mat leave. It came in very handy in those first few weeks.

Declutter so tidying up is fast. Cook. Freeze. Sleep. Long baths.

Pregnancy massage and bulk cook food to freeze - lunch, dinner and snack options.

Good idea on the batch cooking, I’ve been doing that already. Def decluttering, that’s def I on the list!

I did batch cooking too.

Buy a few pairs of comfy high-waisted “Bridget Jones” pants

I had lots of plans and then my DD decided to come early. If I had time I'd batch cook. Stock up on heavy items from supermarket. Watch some films and just try and relax for a while.

Oh yes @Cattenberg I’m totally living in the high waisted pants!
