New Mom’s “Must Haves”

2012-02-15. Okay, to date, I’m in my 30th week. 10 more weeks and we’ll see our little darling :) Only a few of my friends know that we’re expecting, so forgive us for keeping this a secret. We just want to surprise everyone hehehe

Anyway, since it’s only a few more weeks before we welcome our baby to this world, we need to make a list of what we should prepare. So I’ve searched online and compiled a list of things that we’ll need…


Labor bags
(things we need to take to the hospital)

  1. birth plan (i think here in japan, there’s only one standard method for natural birth)
  2. boshi kenko techo (maternity health book)
  3. toiletries (comb, soap, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste –> not sure if they’ll provide these)
  4. lotion, moisturizer, lip balm
  5. towels
  6. 3-4 underwear (maternity kind), maternity pads
  7. dressing gown, socks
  8. receiving blanket
  9. change of clothes (for me & baby)
  10. nursing bra and breast pads
  11. digital camera & charger
  12. phone chargers
  13. books, ipad, etc.
  14. snacks, bendy straw
  15. tissue,
  16. CASH

I’ll stop here in the meantime. I’ll probably search some more to see if these are enough. And I need to research what things are provided in my clinic. :)
