Things to pack to go to a Hospital for a C-Section- Pregnancy Care

You're likely to be in the hospital for two to four days after a c-section as Dr.(Mrs) Pulkit Nandwani speaks on her blog.

Use my specially prepared list to make sure you have everything you need for your stay – and be sure to check out the suggestions:-

I recommend making sure you have things ready to go when you're eight months pregnant and these are the duties of the best gynecologist in Rohini to provide the best treatment and care.

Remember: Your body doesn't know you have a c-section scheduled. You could go into labor at any time in the weeks before your scheduled date. These tips will also be published on my facebook page.

For you

·         A picture ID (driver's license or other ID), your insurance card, and any hospital paperwork you need

·         Toiletries: Pack a few personal items, such as a toothbrush and toothpaste, lip balm, deodorant, a brush and comb, makeup, and a hair band or barrettes. Hospitals usually provide soap, shampoo, and lotion, but you might prefer your own.

·         A list of people to call and their phone numbers, your phone and charger: After your baby's born, you or your partner may want to call family and friends to let them know the good news. Make a list of people you'll want to contact so you don't forget someone important when you're exhausted after delivery.

·         A bathrobe, a nightgown or two, slippers, and a few pairs of socks: Hospitals provide gowns and socks for you to use during your stay, but most will allow you to wear your own clothes if you prefer. Choose something loose and comfortable that you don't mind getting dirty. Your own slippers and robe come in handy once you're up and walking around.

·         Eyeglasses: if you wear them , Even if you usually wear contacts, you may not want to deal with them while you're in the hospital.

·         Comfortable nursing bras or supportive regular bras: Whether or not you choose to breastfeed, your breasts are likely to be tender and swollen when your milk comes in, which can happen anytime during the first several days after delivery. A good bra can provide some comfort, and breast pads can be added to help absorb leaks.

·         Several pairs of maternity underpants: Some women love the mesh underwear usually provided by the hospital, but others don't. You can't go wrong with your own roomy cotton underpants. Make sure the waistband is loose enough that it won't press on your abdomen at all. The hospital will provide sanitary pads, which you'll need because even after a c-section, you'll bleed after delivery. Make sure you have a supply of heavy-duty pads waiting at home!

·         Snacks: Depending on your situation, you may be able to begin eating small, light meals relatively soon after surgery. As recommended by a gynecologist in Rohini, while bland hospital food is good for those early meals, eventually your appetite will come back and you'll be glad to have some snacks around – like fresh fruit or whatever you think you might enjoy. A bottle of nonalcoholic champagne might be fun for celebrating, too.

·         A book on newborn care: The hospital with a good gynecologist will probably provide you with a book, but you may prefer your own. Of course, the postpartum nurses will be there to answer questions and show you how to change, hold, nurse, and bathe your newborn if you need guidance.

·         Whatever will help you relax and feel comfortable: Here are some possibilities: your own pillow (use a patterned or colorful pillowcase so it doesn't get mixed up with the hospital's pillows), music and something to play it on, light reading material, and a sleep mask to help you nap during the day.

·         Photos of your other children: When they come to visit, they'll see that you haven't forgotten them.

·         Gifts for older siblings, Some parents bring gifts for the new baby to "give" to big brothers and sisters.

·         A notepad or journal and pen or pencil: Track your baby's feeding sessions, write down questions you have for the nurse, note what the pediatrician tells you, jot down memories of your baby's first few days, and so on. Some people bring a baby book so they can record the birth details right away.

·         A going-home outfit: Bring something roomy and easy to get into (believe it or not, you'll probably still look 5 or 6 months pregnant) and a pair of flat, comfortable shoes. If you're going to wear pants, make sure the waistband is loose and won't press on your incision.

For your partner

·         A camera or video camera with batteries, charger, and memory card

·         Toiletries

·         Comfortable shoes and a few changes of comfortable clothes

·         Snacks and something to read

·         Money for parking and change for vending 

For your baby

·         An Installed car seat: You can't drive your baby home without one! Have the seat properly installed ahead of time and know how to buckle your baby in correctly.

·         Baby clothes for the hospital stay: The hospital with the best gynecologist in rohini will provide diapers and some sort of clothing, such as a pair of pajamas or a sleep shirt. You can bring baby clothes of your own if you like. One-piece stretchy outfits that snap or zip up the front are easiest for diaper changes.

·          A Going home outfit: Your baby will need an outfit to go home in, including socks or booties if the clothing doesn't have feet, and a soft cap if the air is likely to be cool. Make sure the legs on your baby's clothes are separate so the car seat strap can fit between them.

·         A Receiving blanket: The hospital will provide blankets for swaddling your baby while you're there, but you may want to bring your own to tuck around your baby in the car seat for the ride home. Make it a heavy one if the weather's cold.
