10 Things To Do Before Having Kids

Its wonderful to have a baby and start your family. This is what most people tell you. But listen to our truth; you need to live your life both as an individual and married couple before you plan for kids. So if you are planning to have a baby, you need to live up your life first. Do everything you want to before getting pregnant so that you don't regret later.

Many people say that life before having kids is not very different after you become a new parent. But strictly speaking, this is not true. Your life changes and changes forever after you become parents. Take a simple example, can you both go to a noisy pub party after you have kids? Or can you think of going on long romantic drives after you have kids? The answer certainly comes as a big NO.

So, we suggest you to travel wherever you ever wanted to before you get pregnant. This is because you will be stranded at home for atleast 2 years once the baby comes. Before having kids, you could just throw a few things into a bag and leave for a weekend trip. But, after having a baby you need to plan a lot and trust me the list is never ending!

This article is not to discourage you to have babies but, to inspire a married couple to live their life to the fullest before having kids.

Here is a to-do list that you simply must follow before you get pregnant.
