It’s hard to know what to pack in your bag when you go to the hospital, especially if you’ve never given birth before. It’s like going on a trip that includes activities you’ve never participated in before.
It’s a good idea to pack your bag several weeks ahead. It will put your mind at ease. Sometimes babies arrive early, and it will save you from packing last minute when you’re having labor pains or complications.
Things to do ahead:
“Attending a childbirth education class will not only help you to prepare what to pack in your hospital bag, but also prepare you mentally and physically on what to expect during labor and delivery, how to advocate for your own care, and how to prepare your body for the healthiest pregnancy and birth experience,” said Lauren Davis, BSN, a childbirth education coordinator with Intermountain Health Park City Hospital.
“The more knowledgeable we have about the birthing process, the less anxious we’ll be on the big day,” she added.
What you should pack for the hospital:
Intermountain Health hospitals provide:
Sanitary pads, diapers, wipes, onesies, pacifier, and a nasal aspirator.
What you shouldn’t bring:
