Patient's question:
My wife is 39 weeks pregnant. Yesterday, she went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, and everything was normal. The doctor said that if there are no special circumstances, she will come back next week for another check-up. After returning home, she prepared a hospital bag for delivery, ready to go to the hospital at any time if there are any changes.What kind of help do you need: What should be included in the hospital bag for delivery?
Doctor's answer:
Delivery Waiting Room Supply List1 box of breast pads to prevent leakage. Place the breast pads inside your bra to absorb leaking milk and keep your breasts dry and clean. Very practical.
3 towels: one for wiping hands, one for wiping feet, and one for cleaning the external genital area.
3 basins: one for face washing, one for foot washing, and one specifically for cleaning the external genital area.
Comb, soap, and an octagonal hanger.
A pair of cotton slippers and a pair of regular slippers, one for the mother and one for the accompanying guest.
Toilet paper, napkins, and wet wipes. You don’t need to bring a lot when you check in, as these items are available for purchase anytime.
1 cup with a straw. Very useful when it’s difficult to get up after giving birth.
A microwaveable lunch box, chopsticks, and spoons. Suitable for serving meals, dishes, and snacks. Hospitals usually have microwaves, so you can heat and eat anytime.
1 breast pump. In the first 1-2 days after birth, a breast pump is often needed to help with milk production.
Nutritional supplements. It’s a good idea to prepare some.
