After 34 weeks of pregnancy, a woman expecting a baby should think about what to take with her to the hospital and collect all the necessary things. They should be prepared in advance, because much will need to be bought in various places, and this will take time and effort.
For convenience, all things must be decomposed into 4 packages: mother for childbirth, mother after childbirth and for discharge, baby in the first days of life, baby for discharge. Attach a note to each package where the contents of the package will be indicated in capital letters. In the package you need to put a list of all the things that you need to take with you to the hospital. Tell your husband about the packages in advance, because childbirth can begin unexpectedly, and you and your husband will worry, and you will not have time for fees.
What you need to take with you to the hospital? We offer you a basic list of things. It may vary depending on the requirements of the hospital, your habits, tastes and preferences.
