The most certain thing about the due date is that 'there is nothing definite'. Therefore, it is very wise to start planning the contents of the labor package in the later stages of pregnancy and prepare them before 32 weeks. Some women will pack two bags - for delivery and for postpartum hospitalization.
Carrying clothes
Ask your hospital or delivery center if they have a suggested list and what supplies they will provide. If you're lucky, you won't have to worry about diapers, wet wipes, or sanitary pads. You can also ask relatives and friends if they have any special tips and skills
Adapting to the times is better than being flashy without substance... Men's underwear is wider and more comfortable
Adapting to the times is better than being flashy without substance. If female elders suggest that you bring a few men's underwear, please be grateful because they are spacious and comfortable, very suitable for postpartum use. You will be especially grateful when you need a cesarean section.
Carry written documents with you
You may find it very practical to prepare a plastic folder to hold a pen, your production plan, hospital written documents, and your prenatal card.
Charging cable and camera
You may be surprised at how many people forget to bring their mobile phone charger. If there are additional spare parts, please pack them in advance.
Now is also a good time for you and your partner to discuss taking photos and photography plans, and if necessary, pack spare camera batteries and memory cards. Mobile phone and photography regulations may vary by hospital. So, please understand what situations may arise.
Delivery supplies
Some birthplaces have low temperatures, while others have high temperatures. Some allow you to plug in music players or have devices provided by them; Some will insist on using only batteries for operation. If possible, it is best to visit and ask a lot of questions before packing.
