♦ Hospital Bag Checklist ♦
I can’t believe I actually need to get my hospital bag ready. This is all getting too real! Time just goes so much faster. One of your 9th month checklist is to pack a bag for the hospital. There are not really too many things that go in the bag because a lot of essentials are provided by the hospital itself. Being my first pregnancy, I feel I may be all wrong and I need your help and suggestions in guiding me through. I read up online and watched some Youtube videos to find out what is really needed. My best advice is to pack light but thoughtfully.
Everyone is different to what they would like to pack, but there are a few essentials and handy tricks that are a must. A comfortable robe is something you would want to pack for when you have visitors.
Here are the details of exactly what I packed for the 3 of us –
