During the stay at hospital, you and baby will wear the hospital's suit. You only need to bring 1 set each for when check-out from hospital. If you believe those traditional thing, bring a hat or handkerchief to cover baby's head when leaving the hospital.

You need to bring more sanitary pads, better bring those for night uses and heavy flow.

Bring thermos for keeping warm water, better drink warm water. Few packs of milo or nestum in case hungry or no appetite to eat food.

Good tips, tysm

I took package 3D2N, I don't have to shower, wash up or something?

Bring a lot of snacks (that's applicable for post-natal diet), biscuits etc. It's super hungry after delivery.
If you're delivering at govt hospital (not sure about private) bring newborn baby diapers and baby oil. They will use the baby oil to clean baby for the first time.
Bring DVT or flight socks if you have.
I don't think you need pajamas, you will hospital clothes all the time until you discharge. For discharge, bring a comfortable, non restricting clothes. You will never know if you went in for natural birth and ended up with c-section.

Ok thank u, I will pack some chips. What's a DVT?

I heard doctor can help press your stomach until baby in correct position for normal delivery.

How's your little boy? is he still in hospital? My heart breaks too when u said they took blood test from his small hand

So cute

Try plain crackers or oat crackers. Chips have too much salt.
Did you try the music and the yoga pose to turn baby's head?

My baby is still in hospital and we're spending every day at the hospital to accompany him. Just need to wait for weight to reach 1.8kg.

Ok thanks for the advice. I'll pack energy bars then.

Yes I tried the position you advise but stopped after doing two days lol

Feel tired to do and maybe not necessary. My stomach is bigger now and I feel not convenient to do much exercise.

Will continue to pray for your little boy to gain weight faster. Are you breastfeeding him at hospital? I heard govt hospital allows breastfeeding

Here's a song to u https://youtu.be/MN4HUut8Q0s God bless

Chinese cant use normal water to wash or shower for the 1st month, u can shower with boiled and herbal water, for washing your hair try powder type of shampoo.

You should walk or do some light exercise, u can do it short n frequently kind of walking.

all the best ya

Everyday I walk very fast, is this a good thing?

Also, I was thinking to wash my hair daily at confinement centre. Which means once shower, I'll use hair dryer immediately. Is that ok? any mummies did it?

so it is alright to wash my hair everyday with warm water (like normal day taking a bath) and immediately blow dry?

I hardly catch a cold
