Yay SJ, nearly there! Sounds like bub is almost done too.

I did half of my Masters after DD1 was born (the other half beforehand). So glad it's out of the way. I enjoyed it but just wanted to get through so was very pleasantly surprised when I ended up with a Masters with Distinction. I didn't even know such a thing existed. I aced my last few subjects, much better time mgt skills post-baby! So it's certainly possible.

My top three things, hmmmm... Fit ball, definitely. Didn't use much else this time. Lol Maybe my Blessingway counts, that was vital prep for my headspace, and also reading Ina May. I didn't end up needing many practical things with the speed and relative ease of delivery. Apart from several good debriefs.

For DD2 the birth pool, for sure. And wheat pack and fit ball.
