Checklist: what to take to the hospital

It is necessary to prepare for such an important event as childbirth in advance. To be ready for a trip to the hospital, you need to think through all the little things and decide in advance what to take with you.

If you forget something, don’t worry! Everything you need can always be brought to you by loved ones. Things are transferred through the information desk.

The Just Right team has compiled a list of items that will be needed for this important event.

All the things that you will need in the hospital, it is better to decompose in advance into four packages. In the first package, collect all the documents and necessary things for the prenatal department, in the second package — things for the delivery room, in the third — what you and the baby will need after childbirth, in the fourth package — clothes for discharge.

Bag number 4. Extract from the maternity hospital

Usually this bag is not taken with you to the hospital, but left to your husband or relatives who will meet you. If you plan to check out on your own and things do not take up much space, you can put them in bag No. 3 or leave them in the storage room of the maternity hospital in advance.

For Mom: It is more practical to choose a sporty style of clothing or clothes that were comfortable to wear during pregnancy. If you want to look dressy, take a loose-fitting dress, tights and comfortable shoes.

For a child:

• In summer — diaper, cotton sleepsuit, blanket or terry/fleece overalls (depending on the weather), light cap with ties
• In autumn and spring, add a demi-season insulated jumpsuit / envelope, a warmer hat to this set
• In winter, take a warm winter overall/envelope with fur lining, a warm hat.

It is not allowed to take fabric and leather bags with you to the maternity hospital. It is better to distribute things in the maternity hospital in large dense plastic bags (bags from the supermarket will do) or purchase plastic transparent bags. The convenience of such bags is that they are very roomy, close with a zipper, and the contents of the bag are always in sight.
