Set aside salt, pepper, garlic powder and sweetener such as sugar or a sugar substitute. Include your favorite spices. Tasteless food can be demoralizing. Include olive or corn oil for cooking and flavoring food. Box up basic food preparation tools and utensils to store with emergency food supplies. Make sure you have a can opener, eating utensils, and a cup. Also store a gel-fuel or butane stove with backups of cooking fuel.
Also, if you take the classes too early in your pregnancy, you may forget the information over time. I recommend that you plan to attend prenatal classes between 26-36 weeks in your pregnancy, and ideally completing the classes 4 weeks before your baby is due.
Your First Prenatal Visit. If you did not meet with your health care provider before your were pregnant, your first prenatal visit will generally be around 8 weeks after your LMP (last menstrual period). If this applies to you, you should schedule a prenatal visit as soon as you know you are pregnant! Even if you are not a first time mother, prenatal visits are still important since every pregnancy is different. This initial visit will probably be one of the longest.
