Each expectant mother, before the upcoming due date, begins to think about what things she will need in the hospital after the long-awaited baby is born. It is necessary to collect things in the hospital in advance, so that at the most crucial moment you do not forget something important.
The list of things necessary for women in labor is different in all maternity hospitals. Therefore, it is better to ask the gynecologist, who is registered with the pregnant woman, what she will need to take with her to childbirth. As a rule, the main things that a woman will need after childbirth are considered to be sanitary napkins and disposable mesh panties, which the woman will change after childbirth.
It is advisable to purchase some things in advance for the baby, who will be born, because you need to take with you to the maternity hospital for the child:
- diapers for newborns;
- two thin hats and a pair of socks, which will be put on the baby immediately after childbirth, and then wrapped in a diaper;
- sometimes the diapers themselves or sliders are required, although the latter are sometimes forbidden to put on the baby in the first days of his life;
- wet wipes for babies, so that if it is not possible to wash the child, it can be simply wiped off with wet wipes;
- cotton pads, they will also be necessary if there is no cotton at hand and there is nothing to clean the child's nose with.
These are the basic things that the baby will need. If possible, you can take a pacifier for a newborn with you, because mother's milk comes only on the third, fourth day and all this time the child will be practically hungry and will cry, so it is necessary to take into account all these nuances in advance.
Women who are not going to give birth for the first time know and remember about the list of those things that need to be taken with them to the hospital. But even in this case, it will not be superfluous to once again clarify this with an obstetrician-gynecologist.
Also, you need to take a small box of tea bags and a carton of milk with you so that the milk arrives better after childbirth. In some cases, women take drinking water with them, because boiled water in hospitals does not taste very good and quickly ends up in a kettle, and a woman needs to drink after childbirth almost constantly.
After giving birth, a woman can forget about food brought from home for a while, because she will only eat hospital food. Therefore, it is not at all necessary to take packets of fruits and juices with you, these products can cause allergies in the newborn and doctors prohibit the use of these products after childbirth.
