Having OCD tendencies, I have been asking friends and family about what I should put into this bag. I already have one ready and have done research online as well, but getting tips from those who have recently gone through it is definitely best. Today, I did a final research with my sis (who recently delivered in the same hospital) and my good friend Tes (who is quite into details as I am).

Here goes:

FOR ME:

Digital camera, extra SD Card and extra batteries or charger

Cell phone, extra credit, and phone charger

Cotton undies

Slippers and socks for labor ward

Personal hygiene items (Shampoo, lip balm, lotion, soap, toothpaste and brush, comb, deodorant, etc. )

Sanitary pads, disposable panties (apparently provided at Al Wasl hospital)

Contact lens supplies/glasses

Nursing bra, pads and lanolin

Wet wipes

Makeup (lip balm, powder, mirror)

Clothing to wear home

Snacks (muesli bars, barley sugars, lollipops, crackers, chocolate for afterward)

Drinks (sports drinks, bottled water, juice)

Headband / hair ties / hair clips

FOR HUBBY:

Extra clothes

Pillow and sleeping bag (if we can get a private room and he can sleep in the room with me)

Snacks and other food, water or juice

List of people/numbers to call/SMS after birth

FOR OUR BABY:

Car seat

Going-home outfit (Onesies, cotton hat, bib, socks, mittens, booties)

So, what do you think?  Did I forget anything???
