Hi All,

Has anyone got some sort of list of things to carry to the hospital.My Doc hasn`t given me any and just asked me to carry baby clothes.
But I am sure there must be so many things that I wud be needing in the Hospital.
I am in Delhi and wud have my parents and in-laws to take care of everything ,though.
Pls. share if any one of u have got any suggestions.
Luv

faki replied. sorry I forgot to include baby essentials..Also pack the going home suits to baby with recieving blankets... faki replied. This is what i packed for my hospital bag..you are not going to change your room..hospital stay is a very short time..so dont bother your self by packing a huge sutcase..lol

1. A nightgown, if desired -- Some women prefer to wear the hospital gown. If you do bring your own, and are nursing, wear one that opens easily.

2. Socks or slippers to keep your feet warm.

3. An extra pillow or two and a favorite blanket. Hospital bedding can be scarce.

4. Massage oil -- perhaps aromatherapy

5. . Your favorite personal care items -- flavored lip gloss, makeup, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, hairbrush, deodorant and body lotion. Be prepared for the photo opportunities.

6. Mindless reading material -- just in case you are in for a long wait.

i dont know you may include some more essentials which u might think important
