No doubt, you’ve been preparing for the birth of your little one with books, apps, advice from strangers and family alike.

Welcome to parenthood! You’re going to be great.
What new parents need to thrive as parents, especially during the critical first few years comes down to four key things.
• Quality Information
• Resources
• Support System
• Confidence
Let’s break down these four things:
2. Resources
3. Support System
We all need support, and much more during the first months with a new baby. Whether it’s a parent, grandparent, neighbor, coworker, friend, nurse, counselor or someone else, there are people who want to help and support you. It may not be the people you thought, but someone is there. If you aren’t sure who your support system is, we can be that answer. Parent Partners Plus has 10 free, helpful, reliable, supportive and informative programs to fill in any of these gaps because your and your baby deserve to have the best support system possible.
4. Confidence
You will have the confidence in your ability to be the best parent for your child! It will come and it could happen in a few days, or a few months, or even a few years, once you have the best information, know where to go for resources and can rely on a trusted support system, your confidence in your job as a parent will grow!

Funny Maternity Leave Messages
If having a fat tummy for nine months makes you sad, don’t be. Because the real struggle starts after it becomes flat again. So, enjoy it while you still have it fat and good luck with raising a child.
Maternity Leave? If you were smart enough, you would understand why it's not called ‘Maternity Vacation’ like a ‘Summer Vacation’. Because it's not a vacation, it’s training for the worst!
It's just a matter of a few months for you to say goodbye to your freedom forever! And look, everyone including you, is just so much happy about it! Congratulations!
Happy maternity leave to you! The baby bump is looking gorgeous as ever, and I’m sure the little one inside you can’t wait to meet the world!
Now is the perfect time to eat without regrets and blame it on your unborn! So, gain weight without fear and have a comfortable maternity leave!
Happy baby break to you! You are finally allowed to have intense mood swings at random hours of the day without any consequences!
You are finally off to pop the baby out, so happy baby break to you! May you have a safe, painless yet adventurous delivery ahead!
Happy maternity leave to you! Here’s to more crying at ungodly hours and more kicking inside your tummy! May you have a smooth delivery!
Enjoy the maternity leave and prepare to say ‘GOODBYE’ to your freedom. But hey! I know you are going to say happily.
This is the last few days when you can rest and sleep and poo properly. So enjoy every bit of it. Happy baby break, strong woman.
Enjoy the time while everybody thinks you are not fat but pregnant. Just Kidding. The real struggle is coming, be prepared, and enjoy every moment of this beautiful leave.
Sleep as much as you can. Because, after a few months, you will be busy wiping poop all night. Motherhood is great! A lot of good wishes to you my dear!
I hope you are enjoying your maternity leave. Don’t worry if it makes you look fat. There’re more reasons to be worried when the baby angel finally arrives.
Congratulations dear! I thought that the arrival of a baby is the only time humans feel happy knowing that their ultimate ruin is close by. What an irony.
