Packing for the BIG DAY

Your midwife or OB will have a list of things suggested for your partner to bring to the hospital and you will have your own list.

Here's the list of things I've packed in my bag for the big day to the hospital. I packed my swim gear as our initial plan is water birth and I want to join Monica in the birth pool. I also packed my toothbrush, a pair of sandals, pajamas pants, a pair of underwear and extra tshirt/sweater. In terms of accessories, I packed my watch with a second hand to time her contractions, a go-pro to film, digital camera as well as battery chargers for all my gadgets (eg. mobile phone, camera, ipod, etc). I am also packing some snacks and drinks incase Monica gets hungry or dehydrated. Plus, I want to stay in the room with her as much as possible. Other stuff that I would suggest doing is setting up the infant car seat beforehand and preparing the outfit for your child going home.
