How prepared do you feel to manage sleep deprivation as a new parent?

I haven't really thought about it—I'm hoping I'll just adapt naturally. I know it will be tough, but I'm not sure what realistic strategies to use. I've discussed tag-team sleeping with my partner and have some backup plans. I have a detailed sleep strategy, support lined up, and realistic expectations in place.

Do you have a support network in place for your parenting journey?

Not really—I'm planning to figure most things out on my own. I have family nearby, but I haven't formally connected with parenting groups yet. I've researched local parenting classes and have a few people I can call for help. I'm actively involved in parenting groups, have help scheduled, and know my local Canadian resources.

How confident are you about your mental health during the postpartum period?

I haven't considered this—I assume I'll be fine. I know postpartum challenges exist, but I'm not sure how to prepare. I've talked to my healthcare provider and have some self-care strategies planned. I have a mental health plan, know warning signs, and have professional support identified.

What are your expectations about perfectionism in parenting?

I expect to have everything under control and maintain my pre-baby lifestyle. I know things will be messy, but I'm worried I might not be doing enough. I'm working on letting go of perfectionism and accepting realistic outcomes. I've embraced that messy, imperfect parenting is normal and healthy.
