What to put into the hospital bag?

[shirleyjasmine]

Hi,

I'm a first time mum and now currently 33 weeks pregnant. I would like to know normally what things all mummies will put into their hospital bag that they will bring during delivery.

I can't remember exactly what needs to be brought in. I believe the hospital that you will be delivering in or your gynae should be able to give you some advice on this. But from what I can remember:
- Your NRIC & Spouse NRIC (esp if you are going to register your child's BC immediately)
-Hospitalisation/delivery forms and/or any other medical information that you are given by the Gynae
-Your discharge clothes
-Clothes for baby to wear back home and probably a blanket or something similar to swaddle baby
-Diapers and sanitary pads (unless you are certain that hospital will provide)
-Books or something for yourself to listen to music or keep yourself entertained while waiting for delivery or if you happened to be bored while in hospital

This is what I can remember for now. Anyone with more information, please help to add on.

Wishing you a safe and smooth delivery!

Adding on to littleG list would be
- mitten and botties for bb
- camera to take photo
- charger (hp plus camera)
- disposable panties (cotton would be more comfortable)
- nursing bra
- PJ (if deliver at pte hospital, i think kkh provide)

actually diapers and sanitary pads, i did not bring since hospital sure provide. Some will bring breastpump but i will advise against it since you can rent one from hospital. I rent the medela bp at $25 for the entire stay. They will wash and sterilise for you. very convienent.
