Your Suitcase
For
Labor and Delivery
|
 |
The following items should be packed in
your hospital suitcase/bag. You should have this ready at the end
of your seventh month. The baby won't wait if you pack and try to remember
everything when you go into labor. You should pack enough for a three day
stay, even if you are planning on twenty-four hour discharge. Remember
the baby may have its own agenda about how it wants to come out. For your
easy reference, please print out this list to use when packing.
