WHAT THINGS ARE NECESSARY IN THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL - a list of things you need for mom and baby

The requirements in different maternity hospitals differ slightly. Somewhere they are democratic and allow you to collect a larger package. Somewhere they prohibit everything except personal hygiene items. Ask your obstetrician-gynecologist for an accurate list so you can avoid unnecessary fuss. If possible, learn about the conditions in the hospital from women who gave birth there: they can suggest some not obvious things. The more accurate information you have before giving birth, the less room for worry.

Distribute things in several packages:

• in the first place, put what you will go to the hospital with for prenatal preparation - everything you need before childbirth;
• in the second - what is necessary after childbirth for yourself and the baby for 3-5 days;
• in the third - things for discharge.
