What i need to do when its time to give birth ? Im a KKH patient .

Question

Hi mummies , FTM here , just wondering. When we 1st reached kkh when we have contraction or about to give birth. Where do we go to ? All i know is just go straight to level 2 delivery suite. After that what will they do ? Anything i need to bring along ? May i know what you guys bring inside your hospital bag ? As i dont want to overpacked the items. And can we shower our baby before discharge or just wipe down ? Thanks for all the replies. Im 30 weeks now , so quiet nervous as we dont know when the baby will come can be early or exact EDD right ?

yes level 2 delivery suite. they will assess your symptoms, monitor your contractions, bb’s heartbeat, and check your cervix dilation. depending on how close you are to labour, they might send you home or wheel you straight to delivery room. bring along your hospital bag with your clothes, bb’s clothes, your toiletries, chargers, snacks for hubby (cos you won’t be able to eat). kotex overnight panties was a must for me. breast pump to start stimulating your milk, or you can borrow from hospital. hospital provides bb diapers, wipes (and formula for bb if needed). you can, but i would suggest not to shower or wipe bb in hospital, but once you reach home as hospital is quite cold for bb’s newborn body. don’t risk bb catching a cold but up to each parents preference.
