Hospital Bag Checklist – Did You Pack These?

Posted on 6:00 am by PreggNet Team

If your pregnancy has crossed 36 weeks, then its time to pack the hospital bag with all the things you will need for labour and the birth. Whether you intended to have your delivery at home or hospital you need this check list, so that they can be found easily when the time arrives.

Insurance card – this very important as when you reach hospital you do not want to come back all the way to collect your insurance card.

Digital Camera – to take pictures of new born.

Phone book – As some hospitals do not allow usage of mobile phones.

Massage oil – hospitals provide this but it’s always better to carry your own massage oil to feel more comfortable.
Front open nightgowns – help you to breast feed your baby easily.

Baby’s cloth – one-two set of cloths for your new born, baby blanket and diapers. It’s advised to wash the cloths and blanket in baby detergent in advance.

Additional pair of socks and slippers. No need to elaborate…

Sanitary pads.

Music player or iPod – to keep you relax and make the birth of your baby easier.

Books and a magazine – if things take long time you can read books or magazines, so that you do not get bored.

Car seat.

Do not pack – jewelery and extra cash or credit cards.
