So, dear women, we bring to your attention a list of things to save. So, what to take with you for safekeeping:
What to take with you for safekeeping
- First of all, think about what you will wear in the hospital while you are lying in the hospital, take a few things with you just in case, for example, a nightie and a robe. The main thing is that the clothes are comfortable, as is any clothing for pregnant women. Of course, the hospital should offer you their clothes, but if there are no specific instructions, then nurses will allow you to wear their clothes in the hospital. And of course, it’s more convenient and pleasant, in your own clothes, and it will be calmer.
- If you prefer sweatpants and a loose sweater, you can take those too.
- Most importantly, don’t forget several sets of underwear so you don’t have to do laundry at the hospital.
- Shoes . Take slippers with you and make sure the soles are thick; the floor in the hospital will most likely be cold.
What clothes to take to the maternity hospital?
For clothes, mommy should have with her:
- Robe. The robe can also be issued at the maternity hospital. Check this question in advance
- Nightdress. The shirt can also be issued at the maternity hospital. However, you can use your own. The main rule is that it should be easily adjusted, or the strap should be easily removed for convenient feeding of the baby.
- Bra for breastfeeding. It is better if there are several of them, because... Doing laundry in hospitals is prohibited, but changing linen is necessary. The bra should be chosen from natural fabrics, buy a size larger
- Disposable mesh panties. They can be found at any pharmacy. However, mesh panties can be replaced with regular cotton panties. The main thing is to take a size larger so that they do not rub or squeeze the already damaged body.
- Socks. It may be cold in the room
You may need something else from clothes, but you can ask your relatives to bring this a little later.
List of things to keep for the hospital
