👩🍼 For Mom
1. Important documents – Your ID card, medical reports, and insurance papers are required for admission and doctor reference.
2. Comfortable clothes – Loose nighties or gowns make it easy to breastfeed and rest after delivery.
3. Going-home outfit – A soft, loose dress is best since your body will still be recovering.
4. Underwear & maternity bras – Supportive bras help with feeding, and cotton underwear is more hygienic.
Maternity pads/adult diapers – Post-birth bleeding is heavy, so hospital pads may not be enough.
6. Toiletries – Basic hygiene items (toothbrush, soap, moisturizer) keep you fresh and comfortable.
7. Slippers & socks – Easy for walking around the hospital and keeping warm.
Phone & charger – To stay connected, capture moments, and contact family.
9. Water bottle & snacks – Labor and recovery can make you thirsty and hungry, so light snacks help.
