Some Miscellaneous Stuff List
As a part of a new beginning, pack all these items which should suffice for about two to three days stay in hospital. Last but not least you must carry extra bags to pack other necessary items. Once you get discharged from the hospital many things for baby and mother are given by hospital like baby food, medicines, diapers, medical documents of yours and baby. Also in India, many relatives visit the hospital to see the newborn & momma and they load us with gifts and baby products. All these extra things need space to keep and for that we need bags, so it's better to carry extra bags.
In all these hospital essentials, camera is one of the most important thing to pack to capture memory in your big day. Try to click shots without flash as bright flashy light is not good for the babies eye. Definitely its a personal choice and not compulsory. Once you complete the preparation for the delivery bag and now that you are confirmed, all the necessary items are packed, keep your bag in such a place that anyone can get the bag easily, because you never know when you will get the labor pain. If possible, stash your packed hospital bag in your car and if you're planning to go by cab or taxi put the bag by the front door. Just try each and everything ready for your baby's arrival and be happy to enjoy this beautiful moment.
