Week 20 TODO's

  1. Now is the time to go easy on those lattes and cappuccinos, if you can't last without your morning coffee, opt for a decaf one!
  2. Book yourself a whooping cough jab to help protect your baby
  3. If you are finding out the sex of your baby, why not start organising a gender reveal party?
  4. Go for a nice walk to get some fresh air. It is important to stay active, even if it is just walking.
