What are the preparations for pregnant women before delivery?

Before giving birth, expectant mothers need to prepare a lot of items so that they can take corresponding measures after the child is born. However, many expectant mothers are first-time mothers and do not have much experience. Here we will introduce what preparations pregnant women should make before giving birth, hoping to be of great help to those expectant mothers.

Maternity bag checklist – supplies for mom

1. Cardigan: Wear it over your hospital gown in cooler weather or in the morning and evening, so you don’t have to worry about catching a cold when walking around in the ward or hospital.

2. Discharge clothes: 1 set of clothes. When you are discharged from the hospital, you will not have a big belly, so you should prepare a set of clothes suitable for wearing on the day of discharge.

3. Nursing bras: 2-3 nursing bras are convenient for feeding newborn babies. Just prepare 2-3 replacements.

4. Belly binder panties: 2-3 pairs of belly binder panties have the same effect as a belly belt, but wearing them together will have a better effect.

5. Breast pads: 1 box. Put the breast pads in your underwear to absorb the leaked milk and keep your breasts dry and clean. It is very practical.

6. Maternal sanitary napkins: 1 pack. After giving birth, the lochia cannot be discharged all at once, so a maternal sanitary napkin is needed.

7. Towels: 2, one for hands and one for feet.

Maternity bag checklist – baby supplies

1. Baby swaddle: 1. This is used when the baby is discharged from the hospital. There is usually a special one provided in the hospital.

2. Baby clothes: 1 set is also worn when discharged from the hospital. Choose the appropriate thickness according to the season.

3. Bibs or hand towels: 2 can be used when they get dirty while drinking milk.

4. Foot covers: 1 pair of gloves will affect the child's brain development, so doctors do not recommend their use. It is best to prepare baby nail clippers or nail scissors. Foot covers are for keeping warm, and these are not necessary items.

5. Bottles: 2 can be used when the mother has no milk. Pay attention to the size of the pacifier and choose one that is suitable for newborns. One feeds water and the other feeds milk.

The above are the items that pregnant women should prepare before giving birth, except for clothes. There are some other items. In addition to preparing items for myself, I also need to prepare items for my baby. The items introduced above are the most practical. When the baby is born, you must be fully prepared to give the baby a healthy body.
