LIST BREAKDOWN
1)Robe 4)socks 6)hospital slippers
Why would you need the above?
You are gonna be dressed in a hospital gown and it's gonna be
pretty cold.You might want to walk around as you wait
for labor to progress OR just go to the washroom.
Try to get something different from white because it could get messy.
Get something comfortable and soft.
2)Hospital clothes
How many?what to get?
Two pairs would be more than enough cos let's face it, u r lot going on
vacation. It's gonna be a short visit,but it's better to be prepared
You can choose from maxi dress or pajamas(better in black)
Or the better option would be if you have started buying ur nursing outfits..mayb a long nursing top and nursing bra..or
a front buttoned gown.
3)Mesh Panties
You don't want to be using your regular or expensive
panties from the time ur mucus
plug tears till after
postpartum bleeding..you might wanna stock up on
a few pairs of granny panties..the
high waist cheap
ones cos they are gonna stain a lot.
If you can get your hands on the mesh disposable underwear,I think that would be a better option.These may not be available in garment
shops or pharmaceuticals. .well atleast
not in dubai.
This is wer I bought them from
5)Nursing Pads
The necessity of nursing pads depends on whether
your milk starts coming in
immediately or not. Some
women don't start lactating till
they reach home or
mayb
2 to 3 days after.
Once the milk comes in..you don't want to constantly
stain your bras and keep
changing them..instead you
can buy disposable or washable
nursing pads.
here is a link for those in uae
These are comparitively easier to find. Most hypermarkets sell them
too.

6)Toiletries
Try and get travel sized ones for the below. All of
them are self explanatory.try
and get the smallest
sized ones cos you are onli
staying for a day or
two.
*toothpaste *toothbrushes*soap*small deodorant*shampoo *moisturizer
*lip balm*hair tie
8)Makeup bag
You may not need your entire makeup bag,but you r
gonna
have visitors after delivery.so just the bare essentials
..whatever you think is necessary to not look like a hot
mess..
9)baby stuff
Most people I know consider it to be bad luck to buy baby
stuff before the baby
arrives,but I have a bit of an OCD and
I like to be prepared. I bought a basic newborn pack containing
the bare essentials,So
I have gathered 2 pairs each of
*overalls *socks*mittens*baby
blanket *cap*1 receiving blanket
*nursing pillow*new born diapers*bibs*pacifier
However, in the hospital bag, i have packed only 2 pairs of clothing essentials

10)Postpartum Essentials
You may use all the erlier
mentioned stuff after the hospital stay as well but here are some things I
think you should buy
beforehand
*dermoplast
spray
*tucks hemmaroid
pads
*sanitary pads
*nipple cream
Dermoplast spray:
I had a tough time finding this
product. I have
heard that hospitals usually supply 2 or 3
cans of
dermoplast as you get discharged, but that’s
not the case
in
all countries, so I decided to get one for myself.
It
is used as a postpartum local pain killer spray.
Tucks hemmaroid pads:
hemmaroid
problem after delivery but some do. However
these pads are cooling and soothing and you can jus tuck
them into your sanitary pads. I would suggest the ones
containing witch hazel
Sanitary pads:
You will need to stock up on these,
preferably the maxi ones. You
will get through these
pretty fast as there will be heavy bleading
postpartum.
Usually the hospital sends you
home with a bunch of
super big pads, but just in case
that’s not the case,
it is better to be prepared. Moreover they are gonna be usefull
later as well
Nipple cream :
if you are planning on breastfeeding and even if you are not, your nipples are gonna be sore and these become a necessity.
I would also suggest buying a hydrogel
breast pad
which you can heat or put in t fridge to cool and soothe
your sore breasts
Specific types of pads are available for pregnant women, teens, daughter, mothers and even mature women.
