What should women prepare for when they are about to give birth?

Every family is always full of expectations for their children, especially in the late pregnancy when the due date is gradually approaching. However, many inexperienced families always don’t know what they need to prepare during childbirth in order to take better care of the baby. But women need to make preparations before giving birth so as not to be in a rush. Let’s learn about what women need to prepare when they are about to give birth.

What should women prepare for when they are about to give birth?

1. The breastfeeding clothes you wear yourself, some have openings on the top and bottom of the breasts, some have openings on the left and right, which are convenient for breastfeeding. There are short-sleeved and long-sleeved clothes, and they are sold online. The one that is more convenient to wear is more convenient when your parents-in-law are at home.

2. Prepare rolls of toilet paper with 100 sheets each. You can use them in the delivery room, as well as when you enter the delivery room after giving birth or after you return home. Doctors also recommend using that kind of toilet paper because it is convenient and breathable, and better than postpartum sanitary napkins.

3. Hairpin. I gave birth in August, which was very hot. It was cool when you gave birth, but you may also feel hot because you are weak after giving birth and sweat easily. So I suggest you prepare a hairpin and put all your hair back, otherwise it will be very hot if you cover your hair in front.

4. Corn heat powder can be used by adults and babies. People tend to feel hot when they sweat. And they usually don’t know how to take care of their babies after giving birth, and some mothers-in-law don’t let them take care of the babies either. So they have to do it themselves. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will feel irritable and hot and get heat rash, so they can use heat powder.

5. Prepare a few pairs of loose underwear, because the recovery after delivery may not be so fast, so you still need to wear the kind of particularly loose underwear, which is also convenient for putting toilet paper

6. Prepare a pair of softer flat shoes for easy wearing when getting out of bed after giving birth

7. Prepare two small belly bands for your baby. The weather will be cold after you give birth to your baby, and it is easy to catch a cold in the morning and evening, so let your baby wear a cotton belly band to prevent the stomach from being frozen, which will cause diarrhea!

8. A thin small hat for babies can be worn when going out for vaccinations to prevent them from being blown by the cold wind.

9. You don’t need to prepare a lot of clothes for your baby, because the baby is small and soft, so it is really hard to put clothes on him. Just put on a large top, and don’t wear pants. Then wrap him in a thin blanket.

10. You can prepare a wide-mouthed bottle. If your baby drinks milk, it will be convenient for adults to pour milk powder. The standard caliber is too narrow to put milk powder in.

11. You can buy milk powder in small buckets first, because if you have a lot of breast milk, you don’t need to drink milk powder, so it’s not so wasteful to buy a small bucket. When making steamed buns, you can put the milk powder in it and eat it, or you can drink it yourself, which can increase breast milk.

12. Wet wipes must be prepared. Use wet wipes to wipe the baby after defecation to prevent red bottom

13. Also prepare gauze to wipe the baby's body. If the baby is too soft to bathe during the confinement period, use gauze to wipe the baby's body.

14. There is no need to prepare a breast pump in advance, because you don’t know how much milk you have and whether you can use it. You can choose the brand in advance, and it’s not too late to ask your husband to buy it if you need it after giving birth.

15. When bathing your baby, you don’t need to use shower gel or shampoo. Just wash it with clean water. If you need to use it, use it once a week. Don’t use it too often.

It is very important to know what women should prepare when they are about to give birth. As long as you are fully prepared, you won't be in a mess after giving birth. First of all, the mother needs to prepare sanitary napkins, straws, maternity pads, nursing underwear, confinement clothes, and admission documents. In addition, there are many things for the child. First of all, the baby's supplies include bottles, milk powder, breast pumps, prickly heat powder, and diapers. In addition, the family should also prepare a crib and bedding for the child. In addition, the baby is relatively young and needs to change clothes frequently, so you should prepare more clothes for the child. Generally, the things prepared before delivery should be prepared according to the season and your own living conditions.
