Your preparation timeline
Enter your due date and see when to arrange your preparations.
Dates are our practical suggestions, not medical appointments or legal deadlines. Start earlier if needed; if a window has passed, use the task as a starting point for today.

Before the birth
Ask about availability, registration and terms. Start earlier if local waiting lists call for it.
Put your wishes and work weeks side by side. Ask your employer which agreements and application dates apply to you.
Discuss what you need, what you can borrow and which larger purchases you want to compare.
Set up the sleeping and changing spaces. Ask your kraamzorg organisation what they need at home.
Who can help with food, shopping and any older children? Discuss visitors and keep important phone numbers together.
Ask your midwife or hospital what to bring. Go through the journey, the bag and the last-minute items together.
After the birth: a separate list
These tasks depend on the actual birth date and your situation. Check the official instructions and deadlines; this tool does not calculate them.

The administrative topics follow the official overview. The practical windows and tasks about supplies, the bag and support are Wiegklaar suggestions; adapt them to your situation and your care provider’s instructions.
