Hi Jenn,

You've included almost all the things. I would like to add a few more things to the list....

Washcloths (preferably colored,to use as cold-compress if you sweat a lot)

Sugarless lollipops if you get tired of sucking on the ice-chips.

A new and fresh white T-shirt of your hubby (you can request the nurses to have your baby's footprints and handprints on the T-shirt) This will be a nice memory/keepsake.

Medicines - like the prenatal vitamins and any other medicines which you are taking.

Please add on to the list if you remember anything else.

Take care,

Alpana.

Hi,

Its good to pack a massage lotion or cream to use during contractions. If u like aroma oils thats also recommended to have for massaging use and some of them also help u relax.
