TIPS| Mommy Hospital Bag, What to Bring?

Since there's only at least 7 weeks to go before our delivery date, I decided to pack-up the things I'll need for the hospital. I will be bringing 1 "carry-on" sized bag and an eco bag and here are the contents:

1. Eco-Bag
   
• Caress Maternity Pads (2 packs) - PHP60 for 8 pads in Walter Mart; I haven't tried this brand yet, I used adult diaper and Modess maternity pads when I had Maggy in 2012.
  
  
  
• Caress Underpads (1 pack) - PHP168 for 10 pads in Walter Mart; I used hospital issued underpads back in 2012 and it cost me PHP40-45 each. This will prevent you from destroying the sheets, mahirap na matagusan.
  
  
  
• Toilet Paper
• Bathroom Slippers
• Newborn Diaper (pack of 4) - PHP30 in Landmark; as I've said from my previous post, this is expensive when bought in the hospital
  
  
  
2. Zebra-Print Bag
   
• Documents
• Marriage Certificate of Parents (photocopy and original) - hospital will ask for this when registering the baby.
• Medical Documents - bring all lab results since the beginning of your pregnancy for additional reference.
• PhilHealth/SSS - for those employed, forms are available online or thru your HR.
• Health Card
• Clothing
  
• Underwear - bring the ones that you don't mind having stain on. Bring at least 4
• Nursing Bra - for easy access during breastfeeding
• Pambahay - bring comfortable clothes, make sure your boobs are also easily accessible with these clothes for breastfeeding. Bring clothes good for 3-4 days.
• Hospital Gown - this is optional, but since I already have 2 from when I had Maggy, I might as well bring it. 
• Towel 
• Clothes for your husband - bring as much as needed.
• Socks - it gets cold in the hospital, this can help you get warm :)
• Cardigan - In case you're expecting guests, this can be a great cover-up on top of your pambahay
• Going-home outfit - Again, has to be breastfeeding friendly as the baby tends to feed a lot during this period.
• Binder - to help you feel firmer on your mid-area.
• Toiletries
  
• Nursing Pads - Although you may not have over flowing milk on your first few days, it's still better to come prepared.
• Wet Wipes - for wiping surfaces or to help you freshen up
• Cotton Buds
• Toothpaste/Toothbrush
• Deodorant
• Lotion
• Perfume
• Pen/Notepad
• Soap
• Alcohol
• Vitamins

I will also be bringing my usual bag (the one I always bring when going out), that contains gadgets and my make-up kit. But I don't think I will be wearing any make-up after delivery. I hope this list helps you in preparing for the things you'll need to bring to the hospital for your delivery.
