Believe me, you will never make an exhaustive list in advance for the maternity hospital. You will definitely need additional things, and the husband or one of the relatives should be on the safe side.
However, you can complete the alarm bag as completely as possible so that as many as possible of the really necessary things are at hand. Also note that it is forbidden to take textile bags to maternity hospitals, only polyethylene bags that can be washed.
So, the site shop-ultra.ru offers its own version of the list to the maternity hospital. It consists of 2 parts - things for mom, things for the child.
For Mom:
1. Documents: passport, exchange card + all tests and ultrasound (including for dad), insurance policy, contract (if it is a private clinic).
2. Clean clothes (e.g. long T-shirt, nightgown, light robe, socks) and washable slippers for the antenatal unit (for you and your birth partner), towel. Take those things that you don't mind.
3. Still water, light snack, phone charger.
4. A package for the delivery room is purchased at the pharmacy at the maternity hospital.
5. In the postpartum period, you will need: bedding (your own is always better, even if they are provided in the hospital), two nightgowns, a bathrobe, washable slippers, cutlery, hygiene items. In addition to traditional toothpastes / brushes and shampoos, buy urological pads, postpartum panties, disposable diapers, nursing bra pads, nipple crack cream, a disposable razor. A bandage and a breast pump may be helpful.
Wet wipes, antiseptic, liquid soap, paper towels, garbage bags will also not be superfluous.
We deliberately do not mention medicines and other medical products, the list is different in each case, especially if a CS is planned. And various household consumables (like washing and cleaning powders) that are included in the list can be considered as a charitable contribution and can be easily replaced with a sum of money.
For a child:
1. A pack of size 0 disposable diapers. When choosing a size, be guided by the weight of the baby according to ultrasound. For a child up to 3 kg, the 0th size (newborn) is suitable, and if from 3 to 5 kg, the 1st size.
2. A set of clothes for the delivery room: a bonnet, a vest, sliders. Scratches and socks for newborns ( https://mamsy.ru/filter/malysham_odezhda_i_komplekty/noski/ ). Everything is clean and well ironed.
3. Several sets of clothes for the first days of life.
4. Cotton and flannel diapers. Light blanket or blanket.
