Maybe some people are different but BM normally come 3-5 days later after birth. What I normally packed are; 1. pyjamas (dress with front button) - with or without BM hospital will ask to let BB latched on. 2. Toiletries- unless you don’t mind using hospital pre-pack, normally facial wash all these personal use are not included. 3. 1 set of clean clothes - include inner wear, unless you don’t mind discharge in the clothes you admitted. 4. Towel - maybe I am abit particulate about this, still feel own towel is more comfortable. Can use for wiping your face and body if you don’t intend to shower. 5. Miscellaneous- HP charger, socks, shawl, wet wipes etc. BB clothes are up to which hospital you go because KKH doesnt provide BB clothes for discharge. 😊 take care

I’m also on my 38 weeks! If you’re giving birth in KKH, I believe most of the things are provided for us such as baby’s pampers, maternity pads and all the essentials. So I brought along all my sample packets instead for these things just in case. Marriage certificate, IC, change of clothes to go home. If you decide you want to let the baby wear your own clothes, then you can bring a pair of those but if not KKH will probably provide as well. I brought my toiletries and my husband’s too. Slippers and socks for myself to keep comfy. A small pillow just in case I’m uncomfortable.

If you are doing c sec, no need bring extra pad or disposable underwear hospital will give a pack of 12 or so and its enough. Plus c sec, menses doesnt come right away.. im on my 3rd week post natal still nothing. lol Bring charger, hair tie, a change of clothes when you check out the hospital, wallet, All the necessary documents. dont need bring breast pump, pad, disposable underwear, toiletries. All these the hospital will provide. You cant shower too so dont need towel. even if you need to shower somehow, they have towels. Dont need bring like what books etc.. you will need all your extra time to sleep. So pack minimally.

Am at 38 weeks too. Giving birth at KKH, just packed my hospital bag. Hospital bag - hanky, nipple cream, discharge clothes, mittens & socks for bb, swaddle blanket, discharge clothes for mommy, disposable panty, nursing bra, nursing pads , nursing top, nursing cover, hand sanitiser, hair tie, 2 pairs socks for mommy, lip balm, maternity/heavy flow pad, spectacles, toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, snacks, phone and charger, water bottle, jacket, hot water pouch, documents - IC, birth plan sorry a bit messy. haha!

I packed so many stuff in my hospital bag. Ended up, I didn’t use 95% of what’s in there. The hospital provided almost everything from tissue paper, diapers, diaper creams, lotion, newborn clothes, swaddle, etc. I only got to use 2 of my undies and personalised toiletries e.g. deo. Hence, I suggest to pack minimally for you and your baby and pack more for your hubby if he’s staying with you - undies, clothes, snacks... And yeah, documents and charger...very important 😂

Your clothes, baby’s clothes, blankets for swaddling, diaper, wipes, breast pump and bottles (if you’re planning to breastfeed), cotton and small dish to wash baby’s bum, soap and brush for baby, thermos for warm water, small towels, alcohol, toiletries, napkin or diaper for you, charger, phone and/or camera, slippers, cash, relaxing music, Bible, small notebook to take note of anything

Depends on which hospital u r gg, n how long u r staying. But generally hp charger, your change of clothes, baby's clothes swaddle, mittens, socks x 2 sets Breast pads. Pads (unless u intend to use the ones hospital provides) Personal toiletries if u inteje to bathe and are expecting visitors. If i r doing natural birth, u will discharge between 1 to 3 days. If csec, longer so u may want other personal things

For baby: 1 set of baby clothes 1 swaddle Extra diapers and wet wipes. For mum: I use kotex pants with pad instead of maternity pad. So I got 4 box. 3 Nursing bra or bralette. 10 Nursing pad. My necessities like toner comb etc. 1 set of clothes for discharge. 1 jacket. Personal documents IC etc.

Clothes to go home, basic necessities such as tooth brush shampoo and body wash in a small container underwear if u want u can also bring ur make up and hair comb, socks and ur jacket for baby clothes to go home 1 pair of mitten and booties swaddle wrap and blanket as need to wear the hospital clothes before discharge and bring ur own towel too
