We will talk more about each list of things in the following sections.

What to take in the maternity hospital for childbirth?

When collecting a bag in the hospital, it should be folded things so that it is convenient to find them later. It is desirable that things intended for the premium department and childbirth be in a separate package. Also, you can also add up children's things separately.

For the premium ward and directly the birth, it is necessary to have the following basic list of things:

Washing slippers, slippers. Do not take shoes "through the finger." A woman may quickly need to dress and take off shoes, and such slippers will not allow to do it quickly
Socks. Sometimes it happens that the woman in labor can go barefoot on the floor, in the pre -explosion department it can be cool
A diaper for examinations, CTG and other manipulations. It is better if it is disposable
Toilet paper. It will come in handy after a cleansing enema, and possibly in the process of the birth itself. Also, toilet paper will come in handy after the birth itself, so you should choose the softest
Children's soap. After a cleansing enema, you can take a shower
Towel. Preferably small so that it does not take up much space. As a rule, it is forbidden to bring many things to the maternity ward
It is better to have a disposable crotch shaving machine with you. If the woman in labor is not prepared at home, then they will shave her hospital machines
A bottle of drinking water. Up to 1 liter will be enough. During childbirth, drinking water is prohibited, however, no one forbids to rinse the oral cavity between the fights
Hygienic lipstick or lip balm. During childbirth due to rapid breathing, the body loss of fluid in the woman in labor dry and crack. Lipstick and balm will help to cope with this
Mobile phone and charger to it. If you give birth not in a separate room, then you should definitely turn off the sound so as not to disturb the rest of the women in labor. Also, a constantly calling phone can annoy the medical staff

If necessary, you should have compression stockings or elastic bandages with you. If a giving birth to a woman has varicose veins, then she just needs to give birth in such stockings
You can also take a mint chewing gum with you to use it between the fights. It will help to cope with dry mouth, slightly relieve nervous tension
As for the shirt and robe, you will most likely be offered them in place. However, if you want to use your own, you should clarify this issue a little earlier in the hospital itself
If the birth is partner, then the list of things for a partner must be clarified in the hospital itself

Things that you will need after you are transferred from the maternity ward to the ward:

Personal hygiene products - toothbrush, pasta, soap, washcloth, shampoo, hair balm, hair dryer, smell of deodorant. It is desirable if all detergents are in small containers and without a pungent odor. I would like to note that ordinary laundry soap very well dries the location of the external seams, if any
Separately, I want to note a comb and an elastic band for hair. It is better if the hair is collected - they will not interfere with you in manipulations with a newborn
Face and hand cream
File and manicure scissors will always be useful. It is impossible to allow my mother to injure the delicate skin of the newborn with nails
Gaskets. More details about them will be described in the section below
A few diapers. It is desirable if the diapers are disposable. If they get dirty, you can simply throw them away. It should be noted that in some maternity hospitals are still issued diapers and lining
Shower towel
Hand and face towel. A woman will often have to wash her hands before manipulations with the baby
A means for the prevention and treatment of nipples. In pharmacies you can find a huge number of such funds. There are also such means, when using which there is no need to wash the breasts before feeding
Postpartum bandage. Immediately the skin on the stomach will be very stretched. For a more comfortable sensation, in the early days, mother can use instead of a bandage and an ordinary diaper. The diaper should be folded with a triangle and tied the stomach, tie on the back or on the side with the widest part. It is better to do such a manipulation lying
Notepad and pen. They will be needed if it will be necessary to record the recommendations of the doctor, the advice of other mothers
Tableware. This is a question in the hospital in advance. Most likely you will need a cup and a spoon
It is worth having several packages with you. They will come in handy for garbage and dirty clothes

You can also take with you painkillers against hemorrhoids and anal cracks. After childbirth, pain often occurs in the anus after the tension and pressure on the pelvic floor. Candles, if necessary, can then bring relatives.

You can take a tablet, books, magazines, knitting, embroidery, etc. with you. It is not the fact that they will come in handy, so do not take them with you in large numbers.

It is worthwhile to collect a package for discharge. It can be left at home, relatives will be given it to you immediately before discharge. In the bag it is worth folding the following:

Clothing for mom for the season. The main thing is that it is not tight, because After giving birth, the hips will expand, and the chest will increase from the arrived milk
Clothing for the season for the baby, an envelope for discharge. Instead of an envelope, you can use an ordinary blanket or blanket
A small gift for medical staff. So it has been started for a long time, but this is not a duty

I would like to note that a woman should not forget about cosmetics, if she uses one. You will be photographed without fail. Cosmetics can be taken in advance with you, or you can ask you to bring her relatives.

It will be better if the pregnant woman herself folds the package for discharge. Sometimes it happens that relatives for joy forget to put, for example, cosmetics or dress.

What to take with you to the maternity hospital for Caesarean?

A set of things for delivery using cesarean section is not much different from childbirth in a natural way.

It should only be mentioned that recently in maternity hospitals with cesarean section they are increasingly asking the woman in labor to have elastic bandages for binting legs during the birth. Instead of bandages, you can use compression stockings. In pharmacies, special compression stockings are sold for childbirth.

It should be noted that women in labor with varicose veins should definitely give birth in compression stockings or use elastic bandages.

Important: if a woman in labor cannot cope with putting on compression stockings or wrapping her legs with elastic bandages, she can use the help of medical staff.

After a cesarean section, a postoperative bandage will be useful to a woman. Do not buy it in advance, it is better to let relatives do this on the first day after childbirth. For the correct choice of bandage, the waist should be measured immediately after childbirth.

I would like to say a few words about food. The night before, before surgery, a woman in labor for dinner can only drink a glass of yogurt. And on the first day after the operation, it can only use water. Therefore, a woman, with a planned cesarean section, should take yogurt and a considerable amount of water with her. It is advisable to purchase bottles of water with a “sports” neck - for the opportunity to drink in a lying position.

What clothes to take in the hospital?

From clothes, mommy should have with him:

Robe. The robe can be issued in the hospital. Check this question in advance
Nightdress. The shirt can also be issued in the hospital. However, you can use your own. The main rule is that it should be well upset, or it is easy to remove the strap for convenient feeding the baby
Breastal brawler. It is better if there are several, because It is forbidden to wash in hospitals, but it is necessary to change linen. The bra should choose from natural fabrics, bought a size larger
Disposable panties-skeletons. They can be found in any pharmacy. However, panties-panties can be replaced with ordinary cotton. The main thing is to take a size larger so that they do not rub or squeeze the already affected body
Socks. The ward may be cold

Perhaps you will need from clothes and something else, but you can ask for relatives a little later.

What from food to take in the hospital?

If you are in the hospital for preservation, or undergoing an examination, then you can very well take yogurt, fruits, dried fruits, nuts, cookies, drinks with you.

But with products that you can take with you a woman in labor are much more complicated. First of all, the future mother should think about the health of her baby. It is necessary to exclude products that can cause allergies in a newborn.

You can generally abandon the idea of \u200b\u200btaking food with you to the maternity hospital. But, it is necessary to take into account the time of operation of the dining room in the hospital.

Sometimes a situation arises when a woman gives birth, for example, at 21.00, and at this time the dining room has not been working for a long time. I want to eat immediately immediately after the delivery. In this regard, you should take with it a minimum set of low -allergenic foods for a snack:

Cookie
Birch juice

It is important to consider that after childbirth, in the first few days, the woman in labor should be limited to fluid intake, then the nursing mother can easily transfer the arrival of milk.

What gaskets to take with you to the hospital?

There is currently a huge selection of gaskets. However, after childbirth, it is necessary to opt for one of:

Special postpartum gaskets
Urological gaskets
Ordinary, but not ultra-thin, nightmares with large, for example 5-6, the number of drops

The intensity of postpartum discharge depends on:

Characteristics of the body
Type of delivery - spontaneous or operational

After childbirth, using cesarean sections of the discharge, usually less. But during childbirth through the natural birth canal, the discharge is much more abundant.

For the first time, it will be enough to have 10-20 pieces with you. If necessary, relatives will lead later.

Be sure to take into account the fact that in some maternity hospitals it is still forbidden to use gaskets - lining are used. This is necessary for a doctor - it is easier for him to observe the discharge and how the seams heal, in case of their presence. It is necessary to clarify this issue in advance.

What should you take in the hospital for the child?

And now about the most pleasant. For a child, you should take the following with you:

2 cotton diapers
2 flannel diapers
2 caps
2-3 sliders
2-3 body
2-3 blouses
Booties or socks
Mittens for newborns - “scratches” will help protect your baby from his sharp nails
Diapers
Children's soap. Preferably liquid - so in the common chamber it will be more hygienic
Cream for diapers or powder
Moisturizing cream
Wet wipes. Using napkins should only be in case of emergency. They can injure delicate children's skin
Soft tolerant or diaper. They will come in handy when there is a need to wash the child after the toilet
Children's manicure scissors may be needed - sometimes babies are born with very long nails
In some maternity hospitals, you need to take a children's blanket with you. Check this question in advance

Clothes for the baby should be chosen by season. There is no need to take the entire wardrobe of the newborn with you to the hospital. As necessary, relatives can lead things.

Clothing for your crumbs should be made of natural fabric, preferably seams out or hidden seams.

Which diapers are better to take in the hospital for the child?

The choice of diapers for a newborn should be approached with special responsibility.

It is difficult to predict what weight your baby will be born with. The real weight does not always coincide with the weight that was discussed on the last ultrasound.

In order to avoid incidents, it is better to take size 2. Size 2 is designed for a baby 3-6 kg. If necessary, in the future you can replace them by a smaller size.

There is no need to buy a large package of diapers:

First, the hospital will need no more than 10 pieces
Secondly, some diapers tend to cause allergies in a newborn. Having bought a large package, you can just throw money in vain

When choosing diapers for crumbs, remember that they should be as comfortable as possible for your child:

Choose thin diapers-first he will go to the toilet just a little bit
Choose soft diapers. The main thing is that they are pleasant to the body and do not rub

What is needed in the hospital and child: tips and reviews

The list of things, according to the reviews of women who gave birth, are mainly reduced to the list of which was discussed above.

However, the following tips are found:

Do not disdain shirts and robes that are issued in the hospital. Let them not look very presentable, but they are definitely sterile. The shirts get dirty very quickly, not every relative at the first call will be able to bring clean clothes
There is no need to buy silicone pads in advance - they are expensive
There is no need to take a breast pump with you - it may also not come in handy. If necessary, relatives will bring
Mom can safely use children's cream instead of hand cream - saving space in a bag
Compression stockings are much more convenient than elastic bandages
The breast gaskets were not useful to everyone - there is no need to take them right away
Instead of soap for mom and shower gel, you can use baby soap. It is better to take liquid with a dispenser - convenient and hygienic
You can find the recommendations that you need to take the tiles of bitter chocolate for mom after childbirth. Chocolate is a strong allergen. Do not risk the baby's health

As the birth approaches, the woman begins to worry more and more, whether she provided for everything. Do not succumb to emotions - the above lists of things will help you better orient yourself and do not forget anything.
