As your due date gets closer, you may want to have your hospital bag packed and stowed away near your front door or in the car trunk. Your hospital bag should be filled and ready to \u201cgrab and go\u201d by the time you are about 36 or 37 weeks pregnant.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At least 4-6 weeks prior to your expected delivery date, you should ideally visit us for a <strong>pre-booking<\/strong>. This advanced preparation will be a stress-saver on the actual day, since you won\u2019t have to deal with too many admission requirements.<\/p>\n<p>On the day of your pre-booking, you can walk with your ID, obstetric records and health insurance documents. After registering with us, a deposit must be made &#8211; depending on your type of delivery. At this time, you can ask to view the delivery unit and you can also indicate any special requirements you would like, such as: special dietary requirements or a private room.<\/p>\n<p>While you patiently wait for your baby to arrive, try to stay in tune with your body for any signals that crop up that you find to be unusual. We recommend that you come in for admission if you experience any of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Contractions that are occurring every 10 minutes or less<\/li>\n<li>If your membranes have ruptured ( your water has \u201cbroken\u201d)<\/li>\n<li>If you have significant bleeding or pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are unsure, please contact your doctor or the Midwife on duty at our hospital 285-SAPH (7274) ext. 2256 or 2240.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from labour \u2013 (which may be predominantly on your mind!), there\u2019s also the delivery and recovery phases. During your recovery, you may want some \u201chomey comforts,\u201d such as: a robe, snacks, magazines or books and your cell phone.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><span>Now that you are all organised \u2013 we know you can\u2019t wait to see sweet baby\u2019s face! <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column section_typo=&#8221;section-typo-light&#8221; width=&#8221;4\/12&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1666784866972{background-color: #4aac50 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4>Here\u2019s a guide for what to pack for baby, so that you\u2019ll be ready for admission:<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"tm-sc tm-sc-unordered-list list-default \" >\r\n\t\n<ul>\n<li>4 baby onesies<\/li>\n<li>2 hats<\/li>\n<li>2 pairs socks\/ booties<\/li>\n<li>6 vests<\/li>\n<li>2 cotton blankets<\/li>\n<li>1 towel<\/li>\n<li>1 pack &#8211; disposable diapers<\/li>\n<li>1 pack &#8211; baby wipes<\/li>\n<li>1 jar petroleum jelly<\/li>\n<li>1 bottle baby wash \/ baby soap<\/li>\n<li>1 bottle baby lotion<\/li>\n<li>Baby hairbrush<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGoing home\u201d outfit for baby<\/li>\n<li>Car seat<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<div><b><i><span>NO yellow baby clothes and blankets.
