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.
First two trimesters: Prenatal visits continue every 4-6 weeks through the first two trimesters, or until you are 28 weeks along. At each appointment, your care provider will weigh you and take your blood pressure, listen to the baby's heartbeat, and measure the growth of your uterus and baby.
