The following, I will give some financial steps you need to do if at this moment you’re facing the birth of a baby.

1. Immediately determine where you will give birth, and check costs.
This is important so that you can find out how much estimate that labor costs may be you spend. Options typically give birth there were two: in the Hospital / Clinic or Maternity Clinic.

Not only that, you also need to select the location. Does the hospital or the hospitals this was. Most families often choose the delivery location close to where he lived. No problem. The important thing, after you choose a location, try contacting them to check what are the estimated costs necessary if you want to do labor there.

If necessary, do a small tour to the place to see the atmosphere. It’s important for you to feel comfortable when doing labor in place. If you do not have a car, make sure you have budgeted for transportation at the time of delivery (car rental, taxi).

2. Check whether your labor costs are borne by the company.
If it is, yes, is it replaced entirely or only half? That way you can estimate how costs should you prepare for childbirth care. If you need to check whether it also replaced the replacement costs you spend for a visit to the obstetrician.

3. Start saving to meet the birth.
If the office does not provide such reimbursement, then you and your husband need to prepare yourself that labor funds. There are two ways to save can be used. The first is by saving money regularly every month. The second is to save only once. The second way could be used if at this moment you already have a number of funds that can be used.

Where you can save your money? There are only two investment products that I recommend: the first is the savings. This is because the savings will not reduce its face value and can be taken at any time.

If you invest just once, then you may be able to put your money into the investment alternatives, namely deposits. You can choose time deposits with maturities of short course, as time deposits a month. Thus, every once a month you can evaluate whether you will still put your money on deposit, or pick it up if necessary.

4. Start saving for baby.
Not only labor costs that you need to prepare. It is also important that you prepare for all kinds of funds for the baby during the first few months such as soap, powder, baby oil, shampoo, clothing and others. As for the cost of the needs of everyday expenses such as milk and baby food, should be included in your monthly budget daily.

5. Take insurance.
If your husband is the sole breadwinner in the family, he suggested to get an insurance. Insurance benefit can be used to pay family expenses due to the death of the breadwinner. And most importantly, Insurance proceeds can also change the payment for labor and all kinds of expenses for your baby later.
