What preparations should be made before giving birth?

From the perspective of childbirth, we believe in natural childbirth because it is the safest and most beneficial way of childbirth for mother and baby. But what do we need to prepare in advance before choosing natural childbirth? In many cases, even if mothers who choose natural childbirth have calculated the due date, the pain often comes suddenly, and it would be too urgent to prepare things in advance. In order to avoid giving birth in a hurry, pregnant mothers need to prepare the delivery items during pregnancy.

The most common ones are health insurance cards, maternal health guides, birth permits, identity documents and appointment registration certificates. Cash, overdraft cards, chocolates, etc. Because in addition to the health insurance card, maternal health guide, birth certificate, ID card and appointment registration card required for hospitalization, cash and debit cards are for convenient payment. You must know that in many cases, payments for pregnant women during childbirth need to be divided into different departments, and some departments cannot be paid by credit card, only cash, so you must always have cash on hand. As for chocolate, it can be said to be a magic weapon to replenish energy, which can help pregnant women have enough strength when giving birth.

Prepare a few sets of open-mouthed pajamas (mainly for easy dressing and breastfeeding), sports trousers that reach the ankles (for warm protection), a pair of slippers, and two pairs of cotton socks. 5-10 packs of clean, disinfected and sterilized strip handkerchiefs, several packs of long sanitary pads and a few sets of spare underwear. Nursing bra and disposable breast pads, abdominal belt for postpartum birth, 1 cotton towel for cleansing face, 1 cotton towel for washing feet, 1 cotton towel for washing lower body, soft-bristled toothbrush, mouthwash, whitening toothpaste, and hair comb. Because you need to stay in the hospital for a while after giving birth, and these can be a good way to go to the hospital to clean up.

Prepare several sterilized pads or gauze pads (for cleaning the breasts when feeding the baby), 2 small washbasins (1 for pregnant women and 1 for babies), a box of soap powder (for washing washbasins and other supplies), a piece of soap (for cleaning pregnant women's underwear or newborn diapers), and a crotch pad. There are multiple packaging bags, which can be used for storage or as plastic bags. A bag of lotus root powder. Lotus root powder is beneficial for reducing swelling and promoting ventilation after childbirth. Cups with lids, detergents, dishcloths, watermelon cutters, (curved) plastic straws or water cups with plastic straws, etc.
