Pack These Items For Your Hospital Stay

Congratulations! You are on your way to the hospital to deliver your baby. During the next few days you will be staying in a small hospital room without the comforts of your own home environment.

Although you cannot change your surroundings or eliminate the impending interrupted sleep, limited meal options and delivery recovery, you can prepare for your stay and avoid boredom by packing some nice to have items:

DVDs contact your hospitals delivery ward and determine if the hospital offers in-room DVD players. If not, pack a portable DVD player and some new movie releases. If you recorded your delivery, you can relive the birth experience by watching your home movie.

Music pack your MP3 player or a portable radio. Its nice to tune out the distractions in the hospital with some relaxing and enjoyable music.

Magazines catch up on the latest entertainment gossip and learn about recommended baby gear and trends.

Facial Mask even if you dont feel your best, you can treat yourself to a mini-spa service. Put on a facial mask, close your eyes and dream about your beautiful addition or additions to the family.

Stationery while you are watching a movie or TV show, write a few thank you letters or connect with friends via snail mail before you return home and encounter an extra busy schedule.

Journal document your hospital experience and your feelings about the birth and family changes. You will have a valuable keepsake in the years to come.
