🌸Are you ready for your Big day? 🌸You must be very excited this time, bit tired too, but be patient little more, your wait is almost about to get over.
📌Your baby might arrive earlier than expected. Happend with me my baby arrived almost 18 days prior my Due Date. So it’s worth having your hospital bag packed for you, your birth partner and the baby bag during the third trimester at about week 38 − just in case.
📜This checklist will help you pack your pregnancy hospital bag so you’ll not miss anything.

✔️Hospital file - Have your medical records handy, so that your doctors can easily see your medical history.

✔️Your ID proof - You might need

✔️Relaxing pass-times - Like a book, magazines, a tablet to watch movies or series, or a music player.

✔️Eye mask and earplugs - To help you get rest in a busy and bright maternity ward. I carried with me and trust me they helped me a lot.

✔️Nightdresses - You’ll need something comfortable to sleep in during your hospital stay. Pack at least one soft nightdress. Choose a front-opening one if you plan to breastfeed.

📌 HOSPITAL BAG FOR BABY👶
✔️Bodysuits - You may need to add to what the hospital provides in terms of accessories and layers. Remember, with bodysuits it’s a good idea to choose those that fasten up at the front.

✔️Socks and booties - Newborns can get cold easily. Even during skin-to-skin contact, your newborn can wear a hat and socks.

✔️Blanket - A blanket of your own is always good to have on hand to use during skin-to-skin contact.

✔️Diapers - About 20 to 30 cloth diapers made especially for newborns, good for newborn's skin.

✔️Cotton balls or Wipes - Newborns’ skin is particularly sensitive, so it’s best to use only cotton wool balls or wipes.

✔️Muslin squares - To prevent dribbles from getting on your clothes.
📌If you have a minute, check what your hospital has on hand or provides so you won't need to take those items. Then, once your maternity bag is packed, keep it handy.
