Hospital bag for mum: Packing everything mum needs makes personal hygiene easier after the birth and helps prevent infection, especially for mums who have a caesarean. Here are 6 important items for mum's hospital bag:

- Clothes: The hospital usually provides maternity gowns, but you should also pack 1 - 2 extra sets of clothes as spares and to wear when you leave hospital.

- Jacket, shawl, socks and hat: Mums giving birth in the cold season should also pack socks and a hat to keep warm, or for when body temperature drops during and after the birth.

- Sanitary pads: Don't forget maternity pads for after the birth; mums who have a caesarean may need more. Pack 3 packs of sanitary pads.

- Waterproof underpads: 5 waterproof underpads, the kind used for surgical patients.

- Disposable paper underwear: 7 - 10 pairs is necessary and enough for both vaginal and caesarean births.

- Other toiletries: Towel, shower gel, shampoo, intimate wash, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, mouthwash.
