What should I bring into the delivery room?

Many mothers often have little experience and need to prepare some things in case of emergency during the long delivery period. So what do you need to bring into the delivery room? Let me give you a detailed answer below. The following things are what the mother needs to prepare when entering the delivery room. At the same time, there are many other things that the mother needs to pay attention to when she is about to give birth. Let’s take a look together.

1. Chocolate: After entering the delivery room, the baby will not be born immediately, so bring some chocolate at this time to increase the power of delivery.

2. Functional drinks: Natural childbirth consumes a lot of physical energy. I personally feel that the physical energy consumption is so great that I could never imagine it before, especially for the first child. You may not need to exert force, and the more critical times you have as time goes by, the more likely you are to run out of energy. At this time, you need functional drinks to quickly replenish your energy.

3. The mother needs to bring maternity pads, sanitary napkins, and tissues when entering the delivery room, which will be used after giving birth.

4. Baby clothes: Most hospitals require mothers to provide baby clothes, swaddles, etc. These are the items that the baby will need to wear after birth. Expectant mothers need to prepare them in advance so that warmth and love can surround the baby.

Family companionship and encouragement: Try to communicate more with your family before entering the delivery room. Encouragement from your family can give you more courage to face everything that is about to happen.

Eat a full meal: Before entering the delivery room, you may have been troubled by labor pains and have no appetite, but you must insist on eating a full meal to reserve energy for the upcoming "battle."

The first day after delivery should be based on the principle of "thin, soft, light and nutritious". The first meal after delivery can be an appropriate amount of relatively hot and easily digestible semi-liquid food. Such as: brown sugar water, lotus root powder, steamed egg custard, egg drop soup, etc. The second meal after delivery can be a normal meal. Some mothers feel tired or have poor gastrointestinal function within the first day after delivery. They can use light, soft and easily digestible food, such as cakes, noodles, noodles, wontons, porridge, steamed, boiled or soft-cooked meat and vegetables, and then have normal meals.

Be sure to bring chocolate and Red Bull to replenish your energy when entering the delivery room, sanitary napkins for postpartum use after giving birth, and remember to bring your baby's clothes. Even though you are suffering from uterine contractions before entering the delivery room, you must use the gaps between contractions to eat and store up energy to prepare for delivery. The principle is to keep the food light and soft on the first day after delivery.
