The long-awaited term of childbirth approaches, and it is necessary to be prepared for this event not only morally. That in maternity hospital and at an extract from it near at hand there was all necessary, it is necessary to consider beforehand what things to take.
To some women doctors recommend to go to maternity hospital some days before the estimated term of childbirth. In that case the patient is placed in prenatal office which differs in nothing from usual hospital.
It is expedient to prepare necessary things in advance, having put them in a bag not to do it in a hurry, expecting "Ambulance" and feeling fights.
It is necessary to take the same that usually take at hospitalization in prenatal office: something to read the nightgown, a dressing gown washing slippers, a mug, a spoon, toilet paper. If the woman accepts vitamins, it is necessary to take also these tablets to continue to accept them before childbirth. From personal care products not only the toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, a towel and sanitary pads, but also a bast and also shampoo will be required. All this is useful and after the delivery, such set of things can be taken also at the emergency hospitalization.
From documents it is necessary to take the passport, the pension insurance certificate (Insurance Number of Individual Ledger Account), the health policy, the birth certificate and the dispensary book.
The most important document at hospitalization in maternity hospital – the dispensary book of the pregnant woman. Information which is contained in it helps doctors to predict possible complications during childbirth.
After 37.5 weeks the childbirth can begin at any time. On this case it is necessary to carry constantly with itself a necessary set of documents. The lack of things at the emergency hospitalization is not so critical: sterile linen for childbirth, diapers and diapers for the child will give out in maternity hospital, and all the rest will be brought by relatives after the delivery. Along with things which are always necessary in hospital in postnatal office, disposable pants and the superabsorbing sanitary pads will be required, in the first days the bleeding is quite strong. That there were no problems with breastfeeding, the milk pump is useful. Concerning ointment for treatment of cracks on the nipples, drugs and nutritional supplements strengthening a lactation it is better to consult to the doctor and to ask relatives to bring what he will recommend – "amateur performance" concerning medicines does not bring benefit. For discharge from maternity hospital the kid needs two baby's undershirts – thin and flannel, two diapers – too thin and warm, a cap, a diaper, a blanket in a blanket cover and a tape. According to tradition, boys are tied up a blue or blue tape, and girls – red or pink. It is the most convenient to buy a special set for an extract – it contains all necessary linen. If the usual diaper, but not pampers is used, the children's oilcloth of 30 by 30 cm in size will be required. What has to be endowed, depends on season and weather. It is better to take flannelette in the summer, in the winter – the cotton, and woolen blanket can be used in any weather. Will not be superfluous if the spouse, taking away the woman and the child from maternity hospital, presents a bouquet of flowers and box of chocolates to the doctor who delivered.
