How can I help my cat adapt to a new baby in the house?

General

I’m expecting a baby soon, and I’m concerned about how my cat will adjust to this big change. She’s always been my only pet and has a pretty laid-back personality, but I know that the arrival of a baby will bring new sounds and routines that might stress her out. I want to ensure that she feels secure and not neglected when the baby arrives. What are some strategies I can use to help her adapt? Should I introduce her to baby sounds beforehand, or is there a way to create a safe space for her once the baby is here? Any advice on managing her feelings and maintaining her routine would be greatly appreciated!
