Last preparations: we make the list of things in a maternity home

We ran past 30 weeks of waiting, and time brings you closer to the meeting with the baby. It's time to prepare a list of things in the maternity ward so that when you collect the bag, you will not forget anything, on the one hand, and on the other hand, do not carry several bulk packages to the hospital with something that you will not even need to have.

Perhaps, it's too early to collect things yourself, especially since some of them you use at home everyday, but you can already make a list of what you need to take with you to the hospital .

Documentation

The papers top the list of things in the hospital. It:

1. Passport.
2. Exchange card.
3. Insurance medical policy.
4. Contract for childbirth, if it was.

Fold it all in your daddy and carry it with you constantly, you never know where and when you begin to be caught. After all, the papers contain information about the course of pregnancy, information about the state of your overall health, and the results of the tests are also there. Few of the future mothers want to be in the same ward with suspicious mothers who have never given HIV or syphilis tests because of their way of life.

If the birth is planned jointly, the husband's documents will be needed: passport, test results and fluorography.

List of things in the hospital

1. Watch or phone

The longest of the three birth periods is most often in the prenatal ward. To calculate the duration of bouts, you need a stopwatch or a clock with a second hand. You can also use a cell phone for this purpose.

This means of communication will also have to be used at the same time to fix key information, for example, to write down the name and patronymic of the doctor, the necessary telephones. In addition, sometimes you really just want to talk with your beloved husband, who is forced to expect the birth of an heir outside the walls of the hospital ward.

2. Water

Be sure to bring a small (not to be heavy) bottle of plain water. Drink, perhaps, the doctors will not allow, but you will necessarily want to moisten your lips.

3. Warm socks

Almost all women experience chills at the time of labor and immediately after childbirth. I want to be warmed to the maximum, but you will not wear a sweater in the ward. The only thing you can help yourself is to grab a few pairs of woolen socks. You can take one, but there is a great chance to stain them, so it's better to stock up the shift.

4. Elastic bandages

For women going to the planned cesarean, in the list of things in the maternity home it is necessary to include elastic bandages - 2 pieces of 3 meters. They bandage their legs for the duration of the operation, in order to avoid the widening of the veins. You can replace them with special anti-varicose stockings.

5. Hygiene items

To determine what to take with them to the hospital from hygiene items, you need to know in advance about the conditions that are given to the women in labor. In most institutions of this profile there is a shower, so that a gel or liquid soap and a body sponge will come in handy. Of course, you can not do without a toothbrush and toothpaste.

Gaskets choose with the largest capacity and buy several packs at once, so that after the birth do not worry about this. It is better to replace habitual toilet paper with wet wipes for intimate hygiene.

For hair, grasp the hairbrush and elastic band or hairpin.

6. Lingerie and stuff

Linen is better to take a wide, made of cotton, and one that does not mind. Not the fact that it can be washed on arrival home.

Towels and diapers for inspection will have to be changed at least several times, so take with you 1 set, and the rest at home and instruct your relatives when you give them a lift.

In the cold season, grab warm slippers for the ward and rubber - for the shower, in the summer enough and some waterproof, where you can walk and wash.

7. Tableware

Theoretically, dishes are given in the maternity hospital, but in practice it looks like this - a plate, appliances and a mug is left for half an hour, after which it is taken for processing and at unseasonable time one can not even drink tea, tk. Nothing. Therefore, deep and shallow plates, forks, spoons (tea and table) and a glass will come in handy.

8. For feeding

After the birth of the baby, you will need a pair of nursing bras, breast pads and a breast pump.

9. For the baby

For a newborn, diapers are often required, if only in a particular hospital it is not accepted to give up this benefit of civilization. It is very rare for a child to be allowed to put on clothes brought from home - all clothes are sterilized in the hospital, and this is carefully monitored within the walls of the unit, so they will have to wait until they get home with the outfits.

Now that you are ready for the appearance of an heir, you will be calmer, and the last days of this golden time will pass in an atmosphere of joyful anticipation of the meeting.
