Ask 10 expecting moms what their number one complaint would be about their partner during pregnancy. 9/10 would say that their partner didn't pull their weight and relied on them to educate them about pregnancy and baby prep.

Pregnant moms are already feeling exhausted, nauseous, emotional, and anxious about their pregnancy journey. They shouldn't also need to project manage all of baby prep.

So with this planner, you can be empowered to actually step up and take on your fare share of the work. And give her some much needed rest and peace of mind. I guarantee she will be immensely grateful and it will help you to build a great foundation as a parenting team.

Yes, Baby Prep HQ is designed to save you hours of research and planning. Instead of spending countless hours searching online or making to-do lists from scratch, you get a comprehensive, expert-vetted roadmap, all in one place.

Yes, absolutely. With our carefully curated and deeply researched shopping list, you'll avoid wasting money on unnecessary and low quality products.

The planner was originally created by Niki Nikatos, who is married to Fatherhood Ready co-founder John McBride.

She is a highly organized, detailed-oriented, and a total overachiever.

This planner is the product of:

• 3 years of motherhood experience and 2 pregnancies

• 100+ hours of online research

• Weekly conversations with other moms (IRL + in Facebook groups)

It’s incredibly well researched, informed by dozens of conversations with other moms, and crafted with tons of love.

You could do that, but it will take you dozens of hours thoroughly research and vet the thousands of different free lists and resources out there.

You should also be cautious about trusting most online shopping guides, because they are making advertising revenue off your purchases. That means their goal is to get you to buy more stuff, so they make more affiliate dollars.

We don't use affiliate links and don't make any money off your purchases. Our only goal is to help you save time and money.

The planner is hosted in Google Sheets, which we found to be the easiest and most intuitive way to give people access to the planner.

All you need to access the tool is a Google account. And to make your life easier, I would recommend downloading the Google Sheets mobile app so you can use the planner on your phone.

Baby Prep HQ can still be a game-changer! It ensures you haven’t missed anything important and helps you organize your remaining tasks efficiently. Plus, it can introduce things you may not have thought about.

Think of it like an insurance policy to give you total piece of mind.

Absolutely! That's exactly what it was created for and is how we used it during both our pregnancies.

The planner includes columns tracking:

• Who is responsible for the task?

• When is it due?

• What's the status?

This makes it really easy to divvy up the work, keep track of how things are progressing, and not need to keep checking in with each other.

Not at all! Baby Prep HQ is just as valuable for experienced parents who want a simple, efficient way to prepare for their next baby, without reinventing the wheel.

We just had our second baby 6 months ago, and I can tell you firsthand that we forgot about 90% of what went into baby prep. We immediately pulled out this planner and knew exactly what needed to get done.

Great question! This planner is very comprehensive, but also allows for customization based on your personal beliefs and needs. So feel free to add stuff, remove stuff, or ignore things that don't resonate with you.

That said, here are some of our core values on pregnancy prep and parenting that informed this planner:

• We follow the modern, evidence-based recommendations when it comes to pregnancy, birth, and infant care

• For product recommendations, we focus on high-quality, non-toxic materials that are safest for baby

• We are proactive planners, so we tend to plan ahead for many scenarios and don't like to wait to the last minute
