A few weeks before your due date, pack a small bag for the hospital with items you might need in labor and after birth. This includes:

• Your identity document.
• Any documents related to prenatal examinations.
• Toiletries such as toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, lipstick, deodorant, etc.
• Any book, magazine, or music player to pass the time and relax.
• Slippers and socks.
• 2-3 soft bras and 5-6 pairs of underpants.
• 2-3 comfortable nightgowns or shirts that reach to around your knees
• Maxi pads (sanitary napkins).
• Bottle of water.
• Clothes to return home.

For your new baby, you should also bring:

• Diapers and wipes.
• A vest/t-shirt and all-in-one cotton suit (if the hands and feet don’t close also bring socks and gloves). If it is winter you will also need a heavy all-in-one suit.
• Cotton hat.
• Blanket
