The set includes a variety of clothes, these are bodysuits with sliders and overalls with a blouse, thanks to which, without purchasing a large number of clothes, you can understand what suits you and your baby.
Most maternity hospitals use their own sterile diapers and undershirts and do not allow anything extra to be brought in. Parents are asked to bring only diapers. Don't take too many at once. It is necessary to evaluate the reaction of the baby's skin to the material from which they are made, to choose the right size.
Of the baby care products, you will need baby soap without any additives and diaper cream. You can also take an electronic thermometer, it is more convenient than ordinary ones, which are given out in maternity hospitals, because. significantly speeds up the temperature measurement process. Some maternity hospitals may require more sterile bandages and wipes for baby care. Take a small napkin, the size of a man's handkerchief, it will be convenient to wipe the baby after spitting up.
If private and in it are in order from state maternity hospitals, you may be allowed to bring your own clothes. What you will dress your baby in is completely up to you. Two undershirts are usually used: thin and thicker, cap or scarf, diaper, then thin and thick (flannel) diapers. Some parents immediately put on a baby overalls over baby's undershirts and diapers.
On discharge from the hospital, you need to prepare everything of your own. It is much more convenient to put on a diaper for a child, rather than a homemade gauze diaper. Consider weather conditions when choosing clothes for a newborn: he should not freeze, but he also does not need to overheat. If it's cold outside, be sure to wrap your child in Baby blanket: thin or thick, depending on the weather. If you decide to do without a blanket, then over the overalls (warm or light), put on a still warm blouse and pants, woolen socks are also possible, do not forget about a hat or cap. Place the child in an envelope.
You conscientiously departed your pregnancy, and now the child is eager to leave your cozy belly as soon as possible - you have begun childbirth. This means that you need to go to the hospital. Some women are at a loss and do not know how exactly the trip to the hospital takes place and how events develop in the future. You can learn about how women in labor get to the maternity hospital, and what is needed for this, from this article.
Instruction
If you are in labor, call immediately ambulance. Already she should take you to the maternity hospital. Don’t bring anything extra with you, just easy-to-clean slippers and a cell phone (which you will most likely take away and put in the safe at birth, but you may need it for emergency calls).
To begin with, remember that if you have started giving birth, then you can go to any maternity hospital. No district maternity hospital is assigned to anyone, regardless of whether you are a citizen of the Russian Federation, whether you are registered in this city and whether you have a compulsory medical insurance policy, you have the right to give birth in any. If you have begun childbirth, then you must be admitted to the hospital. But there are also some features.
Take the relevant medical card with you. In the event that you have not been observed by a gynecologist during pregnancy in your antenatal clinic or some other clinic, then in any maternity hospital you should still receive medical care, but at the same time you will be transferred to another maternity hospital.
In case you have any serious illnesses, for example, pathologies of the cardiovascular system, endocrine system or kidneys, then you will also be transferred to another, specialized maternity hospital. There are also maternity hospitals for women who give birth prematurely, that is, before thirty-six weeks. If you have one of these cases, then it is to one of these maternity hospitals that she should take you.
You can conclude an agreement in advance with one of the maternity hospitals operating on a contractual basis. If you have no other choice and have to go to such a maternity hospital without concluding any contract, then they will also provide you with medical care, but then, after the baby is born, they will not observe you there and will be transferred to a regular maternity hospital.
If you have entered into an agreement with such a maternity hospital, then you will be required to be accepted there, regardless of the circumstances.
Easy childbirth, good luck and health to you and your baby!
A good doctor can help you deal with the anxiety, fear, and uncertainty about childbirth. This person must be competent and qualified. It is advisable to collect information about all obstetricians in your area, listen to feedback about them.
Instruction
Decide for yourself if the gender of the doctor who will see you and deliver your baby matters. For some women, only the competence of the doctor is important, and everything else does not matter. Gender does not affect the qualifications and abilities of physicians and physicians. This choice depends only on your preferences, on the feeling of reliability that the doctor inspires you.
You can choose a whole group of doctors. If you are led by one specialist, he observes the pregnancy and delivers. Many pregnant women prefer this option, as they get used to "their" doctor and trust him. But the downside of this approach is that when the time is right for you, the person may not be able to be around.
A team of specialists consists of several doctors who practice together. They will watch you in turn, but you cannot know who will deliver the baby. But still it will not be a stranger. The next day you can see another doctor from the group.
Reduce yours to a few candidates, weighing all the pros and cons. Ask your friends, it is quite possible that someone will be able to advise you on this or that specialist. Well, if it is a relative of one of your friends, the doctor will give you increased attention “by acquaintance”.
Now the practice of home doctors who observe all family members has been revived. This doctor also specializes in obstetrics. In this case, he will also be a children's doctor for your child. Such medical practice implies continuity and good awareness of the health of all members of your family.
First of all, you should pay attention to the remoteness of the maternity hospital from home, after all, the closer the maternity hospital, the more comfortable and confident you will feel, knowing that under any circumstances you can easily get to it.
The following criteria are visiting relatives and the possibility of partner childbirth; How does the hospital feel about breastfeeding; anesthesia during childbirth - is it possible to use it and what types are available; is it possible to give birth with a doctor by agreement; the cost of childbirth and the postpartum ward (find out if there is a shower and toilet in the ward or on the floor, heating). Although the stay in the maternity hospital is not long, the conditions in it still play an important role!
It is worth learning about the level of medical equipment, its quality. During childbirth, various kinds of problems can arise, therefore, the maternity hospital should have departments for adult and pediatric resuscitation, intensive care, modern equipment and equipment in case of difficult births. Find out the statistics of deaths of mothers and children in the selected maternity hospital.
Medical staff is an important criterion for childbirth. It should not be forgotten that apart from good reviews about doctors and midwives should also be positive
By the end of the 8th month of pregnancy, labor can begin at any time. In order not to experience discomfort, not to pack things to the hospital at the last moment, risking forgetting the necessary items, responsible expectant mothers pack their bags in advance.
What does the list of things for the hospital include? Ask at the reception desk what you need to take with you and what things you do not need. Each maternity hospital has its own rules and lists, which may vary depending on the season.
Things for a child in the hospital
It's better to take more than you need
The list of things in the maternity hospital consists of essential items for mom and baby. You need to take only the most necessary, necessary constantly, otherwise you risk bringing a couple of extra suitcases with you. Therefore, when collecting things for a responsible event, be guided by the principle: only what you cannot do without. What are these things?
All the things that you need should be divided into three parts:

Unpack the first one immediately after entering the maternity hospital (items that will be required before childbirth). Leave the second one for later. This will avoid unnecessary hassle and confusion.
Another point: if you are planning a joint birth, collect a separate package for your husband.
When packing, follow these principles:
- pack documents into a separate file or folder;
- put all things strictly in plastic bags. Sanitary and epidemiological standards in maternity hospitals prohibit bringing leather or fabric bags from home;
- divide the list into 3 parts: to the delivery room, postpartum ward, discharge (and also to the husband if the birth is joint). Prepare transparent bags and sign them;

The due date is approaching and future mom starts going to the hospital. It is better to prepare everything you need in advance than not to put something in a hurry, and then get upset. Before the exciting moment comes, let's find out what to take to the hospital in order to feel comfortable there. The list consists of the necessary things and documents. Let's conditionally divide it into three bags: for childbirth, after childbirth and for the baby. The fourth bag, intended for discharge, can be collected, both for admission to the medical institution, and brought by relatives at the time of discharge from it.
It is advisable to put things for the baby in a separate bag or even ask relatives to bring them after childbirthWhat is the best bag to put things in?
According to sanitary norms and rules (SanPin), it is forbidden to take bags made of leather, fabric or wicker to the hospital. Such materials can become carriers of germs and viruses. It is advisable to pack things in plastic bags. The bag should also be transparent so as not to delve into it for a long time in search of the right thing. The hypothetical "three bags" cannot be taken literally. The staff of the institution is unlikely to allow you to bring 3-4 trunks.
Stock up on one roomy bag, put all the prepared things into it, breaking them into sectors so that you know where everything is. By the way, you can buy a ready-made bag in the store if you find one that suits you. If you or one of your relatives knows how to sew, make your own version of the "alarm suitcase" for the woman in labor. Some mothers are quite satisfied with the usual plastic bags with handles.
What documents do you need to take with you?
Being observed by a doctor during the entire period of pregnancy, you have acquired a large number of medical documents and certificates. Some of them should be taken to a medical facility. Starting from week 32, make it a rule for you to carry documents with you - the period set by the doctor may change at the request of your crumbs. If everything goes well, go shopping by week 36, collect a “disturbing suitcase” with things. Put in it the following documents:
- the passport;
- an exchange card of a pregnant woman with full information about the course of pregnancy and test results;
- insurance medical policy giving the right to medical care;
- if you have an agreement with a medical institution, be sure to put it;
- receipts for paying for a separate room and for a joint birth, if you decide to use these services.
The exchange card will give the obstetrician all the information about the course of pregnancy, so late term must be carried with you at all times. By the way, concerning joint childbirth. Documents are needed and your soulmate. Doctors will require a passport and a health certificate from your husband. This is done for the safety of the baby.
Calculate some amount of money that may be needed to buy medicine or pay for some services. Put large and small bills in your wallet. Realizing that the moment of the birth of a new person is an unpredictable thing, be sure to keep a mobile phone in your purse or pocket to quickly call an ambulance and notify your relatives.
What things to prepare for childbirth?
The list of items that will be useful to you during childbirth is small. The maternity hospital's policy is to give birthing women the necessary clothes, but you can take washable slippers. However, each obstetric institution sets its own rules, it is better for you to find out about their existence in advance. In theory, you should collect:
- nightgown (loose fit);
- drinking water (1 liter or more if you so desire);
- towel (maybe two);
- baby soap (liquid);
- disposable toilet seats;
- warm socks (not wool);
- you can grab a video camera or a camera if you want to save a joyful historical event in the life of your family on them.
Add to the package with your things and equipment for the newborn, which the staff of the institution will put on after the birth. Some institutions use their own baby diapers to swaddle an infant. Find out this question in advance - you may not have to collect an outfit for a newborn, only for discharge. Stock up on the following:
- vest, bodysuit or blouse;
- diaper;
- you can put sliders;
- bonnet.
Some maternity hospitals provide their own diapers and clothes for the newborn - this issue needs to be clarified in advance Mothers who are about to give birth for the first time often ask if they can bring food with them. Believe me - giving birth, you will definitely forget about any food. If you want to take something for a snack, you can stock up on dried candied fruits or fruits, cookies, crackers. Boiled eggs and broth will do. Do not overload your "alarm suitcase" so that you cannot lift it.
List of things for mom after childbirth
Having given birth, mother spends about 3-5 days with her little treasure in the maternity hospital. What to collect for this period, what items would be appropriate for a nursing mother? Add some wardrobe items to the list of things. Be sure to put the products that you use for personal hygiene. Stock up on water and foods that you ate before giving birth. If you want to look attractive - grab a cosmetic bag, but be sure to read our additional explanations in a separate review block. We have prepared a list for you.
clothing
- Clean nightgown, bathrobe, slippers. Choose a model with a cutout for comfortable breastfeeding. Some maternity facilities give out their own clothes, check this in advance. Put two pairs of warm socks if you are giving birth in winter.
- You need a special bra for breastfeeding, equipped with detachable pockets on the nipples. Such a product will provide you with convenient feeding of the child.
- If the maternity hospital does not give out underwear, take disposable underpants (cotton, 3-5 pieces) and postpartum pads.
- You will also need bra pads, which perfectly absorb leaking milk. If you do not take them, all the clothes will be stained, which turn sour and begin to smell bad.
- Take care of the figure - grab it.
Using a bandage immediately after childbirth will help to quickly restore the figure Hygiene products
- Normal set for daily care: toothbrush, shampoo, soap, body cream, deodorant (roll-on), shower gel (see also: ). Disposable toilet seats. Moms whose births ended with stitches can ask someone close to bring them the softest grade of toilet paper.
- Remedy against. Choose one that does not require rinsing. Cracks appear in many mothers and cause pain when feeding. The cause is improper attachment of the newborn to the breast. Buy Bepanthen or D-Panthenol cream.
- Glycerin suppositories. Help with stool problems.
Food, cutlery, leisure items
Items that are presented in this section, you can not take with you on the day of admission to the hospital. Any of them can be conveyed to you by relatives when you visit. Cutlery items can be limited to a mug and a teaspoon. You can make notes on your cell phone. We have compiled a list of examples:
The question about drugs is often asked. A maternity hospital is a medical facility where you will be given any remedy for headaches, nausea, or more serious medications, if needed. Moms who know what's coming C-section, you should clarify the list of necessary medications from the doctors of the maternity hospital or perinatal center.
Additional explanations for important positions
We will answer the questions that inevitably arise among mothers going to the hospital. People often ask about pads, wondering which ones are best for postpartum hygiene. Pharmacies offer special postpartum pads, which may be called postoperative or urological. Made from highly absorbent material. One pack is enough. If you think you can get by with regular "night" pads, take them.
When choosing a dressing gown, find out if the institution provides state-owned sterile wardrobe items. If you can bring your own clothes, choose a light cotton robe with a zipper or a wraparound that will allow you to move freely and ensure comfortable breastfeeding. It is desirable that the product has pockets for various women's little things (hairpin, hairpin, hair band, handkerchief, telephone).
While listing things, we talked about soap. Do not use a lot of detergents. You can take liquid baby soap with you, which is enough for you and the baby.
There is one more nuance and it is connected with the recommendations of doctors. Doctors advise a woman who has given birth to wash her genitals with laundry soap. Please note that the procedure should be superficial. Wash the external seams and the surface of the body with soap, in no case do not use it to wash the interior. Alkali, which is part of laundry soap, negatively affects the vaginal mucosa, especially when it is inflamed or damaged during childbirth.
Normal laundry soap perfect for intimate hygiene women in labor List of things for a newborn

- Hygienic products made of cotton wool (discs, sticks with a limiter). It will be needed to clean the ears and nose of the crumbs, to lubricate the umbilical wound.
- Wet baby wipes or disposable handkerchiefs.
- . Since you cannot predict the reaction of the baby to the product, take the cream in a small tube.
- . As a rule, they are issued in maternity hospitals. If you think that you trust your own things more, take 2 of cotton fabric and 2 of flannel (size - 60x90). Financial opportunities allow - buy disposable diapers.
- Soft towel.
- Vests, blouses, bodysuits. Choose models sewn with external seams. Take them at the rate of one for each day, about 4-5 pieces.
- If the sleeves on the wrists of the blouse are open, put on “anti-scratch” mittens.
- Rompers or overalls made of cotton, 4-5 pieces.
- Cotton or flannel bonnet - the choice of fabric depends on the season. Buy 2 pieces of the same size.
Let's take a closer look at diapers. Doubts about their number, size, brand torment many young mothers. Forget about gauze right away, reusable diapers and diapers, stop only at disposable diapers. Trademark choose according to your own taste, quantity - limit yourself to a small package. Buy what you like, but based on our recommendations. Returning home with the child, pick up better diapers.
Perfect for maternity hospital disposable diapers which you can choose according to your taste. What things to take for discharge from the hospital?
The selection of things for discharge from the hospital depends on the season. Most of all, women are concerned about the equipment of the newborn.
Summer
In the summer, you can get by with a cap, a vest or a light blouse and sliders. Additionally, wrap the baby in a thin blanket or envelope. For a trip in the car, put on a cotton overall for the baby.
Autumn / spring
The joyful event took place in the off-season - navigate with equipment for the baby according to the weather. Pick up a demi-season overalls for the crumbs, wearing warm underwear under it. If discharge occurs at the beginning of winter or spring, use the set of clothes for the cold season, which we described above. The main thing is not to bandage the newborn so that he does not overheat, stick to a reasonable decision.
Winter
Now let's see what you need to take a baby born in winter. Add a warm hat, an insulated envelope or overalls (preferably a transformer) to your summer underwear set. It is better to transport the baby in the car in outerwear, since it is difficult to pass the belts of the baby car seat under the blanket or envelope. Remember - the rules for transporting children in a car require the use of a special car seat. Rompers, a vest and a cap that are worn under outerwear, take flannel ones.
Clothes for mom should be comfortable and appropriate for the weather. It is unlikely that you will be able to easily squeeze yourself into the jeans that you wore before pregnancy. The stomach has not yet gone without a trace and tight clothes will give you discomfort, even if they fit. Choose loose clothing for your own outfit: skirt, dress, cardigan, sundress. Take shoes with a small heel or without it. Let them bring a cosmetic bag from home - you want to be beautiful in memorable photos.
What should not be brought to the hospital?
Remember that your stay in the hospital is limited to 3-5 days. There is no need to gather as if you are going to the sea for a month. Decorative cosmetics It's a matter of child safety. Contact with a baby who has just come into this world should be absolutely safe for him. Powder, shadows, lipstick can get on the baby's body and cause allergies. The maximum that you can afford is to lightly tint your eyelashes.
Do not use strong fragrances. The baby should smell the mother's scent, which he recognizes as native and protective. Feeling the natural maternal aroma, the baby sleeps peacefully, eats well, comfortably gets used to the new environment for him. Forget about the pacifier if you plan to breastfeed your baby breast milk. The nipple in the hospital is an extra accessory. The baby sucks well at the breast and is quite satisfied.
The trembling excitement before childbirth is familiar to most women. Experiencing and rejoicing at the same time, you are preparing for the greatest sacrament. Practicality is good and you will of course take all the necessary things with you. However, the most important thing that you bring to the hospital is a great love for the one who should be born. We wish you the easiest birth so that your treasure is born healthy and strong.
Fees to the hospital should begin as early as a month or even two before the expected date of birth. Firstly, because in the vast majority of cases they occur approximately 2 weeks earlier than the due date, that is, by, and by this time you should be fully prepared for their start. Secondly, now free time and relatively good health contribute to this: you have already gone on maternity leave, and with the approach of childbirth, it will be more and more problematic to go shopping (there may appear, fetal pressure on bladder will force you to run to the toilet every minute). And in general, you should not postpone everything until the last day. You will be much calmer and feel better if things in the hospital are ready in advance.
For the greatest convenience, we suggest that you form three bags at once. One will contain things that you will need during childbirth and immediately after them. In the second, put everything you need for the duration of your stay in the hospital, and prepare the third for discharge. And in each of these bags there will be a separate package - for the child.
So, what will your baby need in the first days of his life?
In the "maternity" package, collect the following necessary things for the crumbs:
- disposable diaper;
- diapers - 2 pieces (calico and flannel);
- bodysuit or vest;
- sliders;
- cap or thin hat;
- socks.
You will take these things for the child with you to the hospital immediately when you go to give birth.
In the second package, put things for the baby in the hospital, which will be brought to you after the birth:
- disposable diapers for newborns for 2-5 kg - 1 pack;
- cotton buds and discs;
- baby wipes;
- diaper rash cream or powder;
- liquid soap for children;
- moisturizing cream for children;
- brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide, calendula tincture (for treating the navel);
- Digital Thermometer;
- nail scissors with blunt ends;
- diapers - 5 pieces of cotton and flannelette (even if you are not going to swaddle the baby);
- undershirts - 3 pieces each thin and warm;
- anti-scratch mittens - 2 pairs;
- socks - 2 pairs;
- knitted hat or cap - light and warmer;
- several interchangeable sets of clothes top + bottom (sliders + blouse) or 2 diapers for each day;
- bodysuit;
- jumpsuit-sleeping bag with buttons or a zipper in front (according to the season);
- disposable diapers or oilcloth in the crib;
- a blanket with a duvet cover or a terry towel;
- small towels or cloth napkins.
You may also need a bottle and pacifier. If you do not plan to supplement or supplement the baby, as well as give him a pacifier, then you can do without them. But just in case, it might not hurt (and in some maternity hospitals, a bottle is included in the list of mandatory things) - then grab a brush as well.
Separately, prepare a package with children's things that the baby will need for - their relatives will bring you on the last day of your stay in the hospital or on the eve of sending home:
- disposable diapers - 2 pcs.;
- overalls-sleeping bag x / b - on buttons or a snake in front (according to the season);
- thin cotton hat or bonnet;
- socks (according to the season);
- cotton and flannelette diaper;
- overalls-envelope with a solid bottom - terry or winter insulated (according to the season);
- hat for the street (according to the season);
- bow or ribbon for "gift wrapping" (optional);
- cloth napkin or handkerchief;
- a car seat for newborns, or a carrying bag, or a cradle from a stroller (for transporting a baby in a car).
For convenience, put baby things in separate bags, place each of them in a separate bag with your “maternity” things, and sign them so that you don’t confuse them later in a hurry.
It should be said that each individual maternity hospital has its own internal rules and regulations. It is likely that on the first day you will not be allowed to bring any personal items with you: already in the hospital, you and the newborn will be given sterile clothes and necessary supplies. Or the maternity hospital has its own approved list of things for the child - compare it with this and correct it. The list may differ depending on whether your maternity hospital practices cohabitation of the mother with the newborn or not.
All these questions should be clarified in advance if you already know where you will give birth. In any case, it is better to prepare and think everything through in advance to the smallest detail than to drive a dumbfounded daddy around the shops and try to explain what you need. Moreover, all children's things must first be washed with a special children's hypoallergenic phosphate-free powder and ironed on both sides, dousing them with steam. Regarding the size of things from the first children's wardrobe, then take the 56-62nd.
