WHAT TO PACK:

In the height of anticipating their newborn, one thing which Expecting parents often overlook is packing Hospital bags for delivery. You should definitely always have a bag packed for hospital emergencies.

After living through the emergency birth of my boys. I still have a Hospital Bag.

Mothers are usually prepared but fathers should be as well.

I spent 2 unprepared weeks in the hospital with my expecting wife.

I created a checklist. Hopefully you  will be more prepared than I was.

• Backpack or something on wheels: Think mobility. You might have to move from one hospital room to another. Babies arrive when you least expect it. You will have to secure your items plus your partner’s belongings quickly.

• Change of clothes: Think comfy, such as sweats, sweatshirts and pajamas

• Change of shoes: sneakers recommended

• Chargers for tablets, laptop and cell phones

• Health bars, trail mixes, dry fruits, jerky, nuts

• Water bottle, reusable utensils

• Coins for vending machines and parking

• Labels: you might have to share a refrigerator & want to label Food

• IDs, Insurance information and other relevant paperwork
