In fact, you should pack a few weeks before your due date. That way, you’ll be prepared if the baby comes early.You should pack bags for yourself, your partner, and of course your baby.

Sanitary pads

Toiletries (shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, skin care lotion, hairbrush, deodorant, etc.)

An outfit to wear home (including socks and booties)

Onesies These are baby “bodysuits” that are designed for ease of dressing and changing, and add an extra layer of warmth under the baby’s outfit.

You might also want to bring snacks such as granola bars, crackers, dried fruit, etc. After going into labor, you will probably be hungry. You should also bring change for the vending machines in case the hospital cafeteria is closed.
