For me, counting down to ML in 1 wk time and bb delivery to 2 wks time. I has 1 bag for Cordlife, 2 bags for myself (pyjamas and pads). Hesitating if to bring the breast pumps .... congrats to all those mummies who have delivered. -) Cant wait see bbThings to bring:
Identification card
Marriage Cert
Antenatal booklet (the booklet you bring for every checkup) or whatever hospital form
CAMERA
Handphone charger
Hairband, rubberband to tie your hair (My hair gets easily oily and it's damn gross to have oily hair in your face!)
Toothbrush, toothpaste, facial wash
Front opening clothes for easier breastfeeding
socks to keep your feet warm (i didn't bring)
jacket (i didn't bring)
slippers
Maternity pads (or the extra long pads for substitute. the blood flows like crazy for the first few days so this is very important!)
Disposable paper/cotton panties (just throw away after use, convenient!)
Shampoo & Soap (if you are intending to bathe. i did not bathe in the hospital)
Mittens
Towel/swaddle
1 set of bb clothes
(All depending if your hospital provides for bb or not)
For clothes, I wore back whatever that I wore to hospital on the day of delivery cos I changed before I went to hospital. Upon reaching hospital, they took my clothes and I was changed into the gown already. So my clothes can re-wear. Lol.
Most of the things I listed are based on what you need personally. AND there are ALOT of items which the hospital will provide you, so it's best to check with the hospital so that you don't bring too many things! For mine, KKH provided me with disposable paper panties and pads. I didn't bring socks and jacket, just cover myself with blanket and it's warm enough for me (i was in aircon ward). I didn't bring front opening clothes cos KKH provides hospital gowns. And I wear my slippers there. Lol... So for myself, I practically didn't have to bring anything at all lah. Don't forget to bring your cameras ahhhh! Take pictures of bb! ^^

Yup, just take hot shower and dry hair asap. I bought confinement shower gel as a compromise with the elders. Also bought no rinse shampoo in case I'm too tired to stand long in the shower - have long hair and no intention to cut. But think I'll go layer it tomorrow...Me also doing on my own..
Mei2009, I intend to shower everyday as well.. Just to take care with hot water right?
Was told by gynae that Thomson medical now does not offer free formula milk as to promote breast feeding.Do we need to bring FM? Cz not sure is it free in hospital.
