Packaging checklist for delivery and labor
If you are pregnant and heavy with child for over 36 weeks, then start stuffing the bag that you will bear in your labor room. For suitability, you can prepare a list of handy things that may help you at time of labor so that you have no regret of parting certain important accessories at home. It is not possible to equip yourself properly at time of contraction and crises, so you can do goodwill to yourself by arranging every thing ahead of time.
The most important possession for your packing should be the hospital registration papers and the insurance card, which are necessary for admission in hospital. To feel as comfortable as possible during labor, equip yourself with your favorite pillow. Carry a non-slippery slipper so that you can walk down the aisle as your labor progresses.
Take a wrapper and a pair of socks to keep you warm. Dry mouth is a very common indication during labor, so have lollipops to keep your mouth soggy and apply lip gel for moisturizing your lips. Brushing the teeth before labor can help you feel refreshed and stress-free.
For rubbing your back as counter-pressure during labor, your can carry a pair of tennis balls. If you have specs, then do carry them because doctors do not allow patients to wear contact lenses during delivery. Carry your camera to capture the special souvenirs of your life.
Lastly, keep the phone list of your friends and relatives along with the long distance calling card very near to you, incase of emergency it would be helpful.
