What Should You Bring Hospital Before Giving Birth ?

Here's a list of essentials to bring for you and your baby, courtesy of the American Pregnancy Association:

Your health insurance card.

Your completed pre-registration forms for the hospital.

A nightgown and a bathrobe.

Slippers and several pair of socks.

An outfit to go home in. Clothing that you wore at about six months of pregnancy probably will fit best.

An infant car seat and head supporter for your new baby.

A hat and socks should be part of your baby's "going home" outfit.

If you plan to feed your baby formula, bring bottles and your chosen brand of formula to the hospital.
