Packing list for childbirth:
3-4 weeks before the due date, it can be a good idea to pack the bag you need to take to the hospital – You cannot be completely sure when the little one will announce their arrival.
- Birth journal
- Health insurance card
- Loose clothing for mom – including slippers.
- Nursing bra and nursing pads.
- Clothes for baby.
- Outerwear for baby – for the trip home.
- Toiletry bag with various items.
- Maternity pads – not all delivery/birth rooms have some that can be used during the stay.
- Large underwear – maternity pads are somewhat larger than regular ones. You might borrow a pair of your husband's boxers.
- Diapers for baby – a few in both size 1 and size 2, as it is not known in advance what fits the baby best. Not all delivery/birth rooms have some that can be used during the stay.
- Pacifier – washed and sterilized.
- Cloth diapers – not all delivery/birth rooms have some that can be used during the stay.
- Duvet for baby.
- Car seat or Easylift.
- Mobile phone – So you can text/call the closest ones once the baby has arrived.
- Charger for mobile – You never know how long you will be there.
REMEMBER ALSO:
- Soft toilet paper (is the nicest after childbirth)
- Squeeze bottle (you will need this if you have a tear)
- Nursing-friendly clothing
- Wet wipes
- Food for partner
- Flip-flops
