I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes.
I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready.
When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂
I divided the list into 3 categories:
Mommy
Daddy
Baby
I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby girl!
I also made sure Ellie’s things are all complete. As much as possible, I want everything to be there when we need it! I hate going back and forth from the house and convenience store. 😅
My mom sent me food during my confinement and she brought the cutest little mini electric stove. It was only as big as the electric kettle from the hospital! We used it to heat my soups or steam my husband’s food. We loved it so much that we decided to import it and sell at Petit Bébé Ph! 😍 So so convenient! We plan to bring this on our next trip abroad with out little E.
Anyway, hope this list helps! I also have a birth plan which I’ll post in another entry. :) Happy birthing!
