The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan the first weeks at home with a new baby. Due date or birth date: [date] Who's at home: [e.g. me, partner, a 3-year-old] Leave: [e.g. partner off for 2 weeks] Help on offer: [family, friends, neighbours] Visitors: [who wants to come and when] What I'm worried about: [anything] Before you start, ask me up to 3 short questions if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A loose plan for weeks 1 to 6, with the minimum that needs doing each week. 2. A help rota showing who brings meals, does the shopping or takes the older child out. 3. A freezer and easy-meals list. 4. A checklist of things to sort before and after the birth, such as registering the birth (within 42 days in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; Scotland has its own rules), claiming Child Benefit and registering the baby with our GP, each marked "check on GOV.UK". 5. A friendly message to send visitors about when and how to visit. I'm not asking for medical advice; tell me to ask my midwife, health visitor or NHS 111 about anything health-related. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
