The Ultimate Childbirth Checklist – Preparing Your Hospital Bag

Posted on 5:53 am by PreggNet Team

The preparation of your hospital bag should begin before your delivery date. The preparation in advance makes you relax and hassle-free when your contractions start so that there will be enough time for you to rush to hospital.

Here is the list of essential items that you need to pack in your hospital bag.

Nightdress – you need to pack some two-three loose fitting with buttons to the front dresses. The loose fitting dresses will help you to breast feed your baby.

Wash bag – your wash bag should consist of body soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tooth brush, cleaning wipes, lip balm and conditioner.

Sanitary towels and underwear – remember to pack feeding bras which have soft and comfortable breast pads.

Extra pair of socks and slippers. No need to explain, right?

Phone book and loose change – some hospitals do not allow a mobile phone, in that case you need to write all the important phone number in your phone book and carry some loose change for pay phone.

Swimwear – if you are planning for water birth or want to relax in a pool before the birth; then remember to pack swimwear in your hospital bag.

Favorite Pillow – carry your favorite pillow as holding a familiar pillow is far more relaxing than a hospital pillow.

Camera – to take pictures of your new born.

All set? Great! lets go get that baby into the world, mama!
