macaronigirl will Jun 04, 2009 10:48AM go shopping for the mommy-and-baby(-and-daddy) bag this weekend. Yun ready na kunin sakaling tumakbo na sa ospital. Any tips?
Haze says Jun 04, 2009 10:57AM make sure there's clothes for you, hubby and baby. bottles just in case, diapers for baby, lampin, blankets,
macaronigirl says Jun 04, 2009 11:03AM oh look what i found! how timely i got this in the mail. What to pack...
Haze says Jun 04, 2009 11:06AM i think graco has one. that's what we bought for kyle. that time in 2005 it was around 8k. dunno how much now.
mrs mcsparkly Jun 04, 2009 11:41AM if you plan to breastfeed, no need to bring bottles. make sure to tell the nursery your feeding instructions. bring your abdominal binder na
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 11:44AM I brought a manual breastpump. Really helpful for soreness/bleeding. (I didn't know how to make Rafa latch properly at first, my bad!)
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 11:45AM Lots and lots of maternity napkins/adult diapers. (I actually used XXL baby diapers and tape, haha!)
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 11:46AM Bonnet for baby's head (so he doesn't get cold), mittens (so he doesn't scratch himself), 2 receiving blankets.
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 11:50AM Buy your own disposable bed pads so you don't have to use the hospital's (mahal sa ospital), hehe!
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 11:51AM If you're rooming Timmy in, notebook so you can chart his feeding/waking times and numbers of wet/poopy diapers (tatanungin ka ng nurse).
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 11:53AM Me, I brought a carseat already. Might as well kasi mahirap mag-shopping right after you give birth. (And it's really safer anyway.)
rowster says Jun 04, 2009 12:00PM 1 bareta bar to wash your underwear. (Sorry about all this underwear obsession pero messy talaga.)
feistymomma says Jun 04, 2009 02:09PM toni, get the sroller and carseat combo.carseat is imperative. dunno how hospitals are in PI but here in US, it's required
feistymomma says Jun 04, 2009 02:10PM can't take the baby home without carseat, for hospital bag, get a small travel bag to have your basic stuff.
ethanmama Jun 04, 2009 11:49PM Don't forget the cameras and baby book too. Also the papers needed for Philhealth deduction.
SexyMom says Jun 05, 2009 12:05AM don't buy so many things for the baby--mabilis lumaki. and of course, with breastfeeding, you don't need those so many bottles.
SexyMom says Jun 05, 2009 12:06AM and also, have you asked the doctor of the possibility of catching your "moments" in video or pictures? God bless you Toni
macaronigirl says Jun 05, 2009 01:48AM SexyMom Yes! He's allowed in the delivery room and he can take pictures. Sabi lang ng OB ko sa asawa ko "You're allowed but just promise
macaronigirl says Jun 05, 2009 01:48AM me one thing... you won't become a patient." Apparently may nahimatay na Daddy before hehe.
macaronigirl says Jun 05, 2009 06:13AM jentrajano hahahaha korek. hindi pa naman ako nagmemake-up! mukhang mapapamake-up ako nito
macaronigirl says Jun 05, 2009 06:31AM tama tama powder and lipstick. para walang oil sa face and kaputlaan ng lips.
Mrs. Ann J. says Jun 05, 2009 07:19AM put in a pouch some oil blotting paper and lip balm para maganda itsura sa photos pag nanganak hahaha.
kreez says Jun 05, 2009 07:50AM we started looking for carseat na tapos ung strollers medyo price they range from Php35K-60K dapat pala tumingin kami sa phils
gossip gehl Jun 05, 2009 07:59AM macaronigirl. oo tama si hazel, make-up! aside from my novenas, i had a face powder case and lipstick underneat my DR pillow
gossip gehl Jun 05, 2009 07:59AM buy a pack of newborn nappies and maternity napkins. more expensive if you buy from the hospital
gossip gehl Jun 05, 2009 08:03AM button-down pajamas/nightgowns, so that it will be easier to breastfeed
gossip gehl Jun 05, 2009 08:10AM uy may novena na kayo for safe delivery? i can send you guys a copy.
rowster Jun 05, 2009 11:17AM find out what your hospital will already provide. (TMC provided nappies & feeding cup.)
rowster Jun 05, 2009 11:20AM don't buy baby clothes until the last minute, and when you finally do i strongly suggest you visit this house on zodiac st., bel-air...
rowster Jun 05, 2009 11:21AM they carry carter's overruns, mga P50 to P100 lang. para kang namili sa divisoria, pero carter's, haha!
rowster Jun 05, 2009 11:27AM i also wish i had already bought and brought a nursing cover. kakahiya having orderlies walk in & out of the room while i was breastfeeding.
macaronigirl says Jun 05, 2009 01:53PM naiintriga na ako sa carters! tatlo na kayong nagrereco i'll visit siguro end july na.
DivisoriaGirl says Jun 06, 2009 01:52AM rowster: bakit naman sila labas pasok sa room mo? they should wait outside until you say they can enter.
gossip gehl Jun 06, 2009 04:51PM macaronigirl maids room lang ata yun na cinonvert into their "showroom"
