list of items required during delivery for baby?

What to bring to your labor and delivery

The arrival of your new son or daughter is a time of excitement and joy. It is often also a hectic time, so it can be hard to remember to pack everything that you will need at the hospital.

About a month before your baby's due date, make sure you have the items below. Pack as many beforehand as you can. Use this checklist as a guide to get organized for the big event.
Items for Mom

The hospital will supply you with a gown, slippers, disposable underwear, and basic toiletries. While it is nice to have your own clothes with you, labor and the first few days postpartum are most often a very messy time, so you may not want to wear your brand-new lingerie. Items you should bring:

Nightgown and bathrobe
Slippers
Bra and nursing bra
Breast pads
Socks (several pair)
Underwear (several pair)
Hair ties (scrunchies)
Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brush, lip balm, lotion, and deodorant
Comfortable and loose fitting clothing to wear home

Items for Baby

Items to bring for the new baby:

Going home outfit for baby
Receiving blanket
Warm clothing to wear home and a heavy bunting or blanket (if the weather is cold)
Baby socks
Baby hat (such as for cold weather climates)
Baby car seat. A car seat is required by law and should be properly installed in your car before you go to the hospital. (The National Highway and Safety Administration (NHTSA) -- www.nhtsa.gov/equipment/car-seats-and-booster-seats#age-size-rec provides recommendations on finding the right care seat and installing it correctly.)

Items for Labor Coach

Items to bring for the labor coach:

Stopwatch or watch with a second hand for timing contractions
Phone list of contacts to announce your baby's birth to friends and family, including a cell phone, phone card, calling card, or change for calls
Snacks and drinks for the coach, and, if allowed by the hospital, for you
Massage rollers, massage oils to relieve back pain from labor
The object you have chosen to use to focus your attention during labor (the "focal point")

Items the Hospital Will Need from You

Items you will need to bring to the hospital:

Health plan insurance card
Hospital admissions papers (you may have to be pre-admitted)
Pregnancy medical file, including over-the-counter and prescription medicine information
Birth preferences
Contact information of the health care provider who will be caring for your baby, so the hospital can let the office know your baby has arrived

Other Important Items

Other items to bring with you:

Money for parking
Camera
Books, magazines
Music (portable music player and favorite tapes or CDs)
Cell phone, tablet and charger
Items that comfort or soothe you, such as crystals, prayer beads, lockets, and photographs
