Package to be delivered

After ten months of hard pregnancy, you and your family must be looking forward to having a baby! At this time, there is an important thing - the waiting package. Are you ready? What should I take and how much? Do you have any idea about the expectant mother? Refer to and prepare the waiting bag in advance, so that whenever the baby is coming, you can immediately pick up the bag and go to the hospital.

Calculate your due date

The whole pregnancy period is about 40 weeks, that is, about 9 months and 7 days. The expected date of birth can be calculated from the time of the last menstrual period. The calculation method is from the first day of the last menstrual period, the month minus 3 or plus 9, and the number of days plus 7. However, the actual delivery date may differ from the estimated due date by 1 to 2 weeks. If the last menstrual date of a pregnant woman is not clearly remembered or her menstruation is inaccurate, the doctor needs to calculate the due date on behalf of her.

Reminder:: The calculation of the due date of birth will make you "know" when you are a new mother, although less than 5% of pregnant women will give birth on the due date.

When will the delivery package be prepared

The time to prepare the labor package can be determined according to the mother to be's own situation. Some expectant mothers have been preparing since they learned of pregnancy. Some expectant mothers are already ready when they are 6 or 7 months pregnant, while some may not start preparing until they are about to give birth. Some expectant mothers do not deliberately prepare the waiting bag. If so, they will be a little flustered when they give birth temporarily.

proposal : It is best to prepare at the 7th month of pregnancy, so that not only has enough time, but also the expectant mother has better physical strength to go shopping in the mother and baby store, so that she will not be in a hurry due to emergency.

What to prepare and how much to prepare

You can consult the mother who gave birth or the doctor in the delivery hospital. Then make a list for easy sorting. Many hospitals will provide some maternal and infant supplies, so it is best to check with the delivery hospital in advance to avoid excessive preparation. Don't worry about the lack of things you have prepared. In fact, even if you lack one or two things for your family to prepare temporarily, it is no problem.

Special reminder: It is better to choose a new mother who gave birth recently for advice. It would be better if she gave birth in the same hospital. Don't prepare according to the opinions of your mother-in-law and mother generation. Times are too different.
