35 weeks going 36

Congrats on being in your final month, mama! A few of us mums swear by packing extra maternity pads (the hospital ones aren't always enough), comfortable nursing bras na madaling i-open, at least 5-6 pairs ng disposable underwear, and a going-home outfit sa pre-pregnancy size, trust me, mas realistic yan kaysa mag-expect ng instant slim down hehe. Don't forget your own toiletries since hospital ones can be harsh, phone chargers (medj importante para sa photos at updates), at if you're planning to breastfeed, bring nipple pads and a good nipple cream like Mama's Choice Nipple Cream since it's pregnancy and breastfeeding-safe, one of my friends said it made a huge difference sa first few weeks. Good luck sa December delivery, you've got this!

Congrats sa malapit nang due date! Okay, so aside from the basics na alam mo na, a few of us moms swear na kailangan talaga ng extra nightgowns with buttons (front-opening is key para sa skin-to-skin at breastfeeding), extra underwear na disposable type para hindi ka mag-alala na masira, at slip-on slippers with grip kasi maglalakad ka ng marami sa labor. Dala din ng isa sa mga kaibigan ko ang matress protector cover kaya mas organized ang setup niya sa hospital bed, at yung sariling pillow with colored pillowcase para sa iba. Oh, at don't forget the phone charger, honestly, game-changer yan para sa photos at updating family hehe!
