[tamarind26]

Me naman i bought 2 packs of maternity napkin and 1 pack of adult diapers.

[design21]

Saan ba may maternity napkin na whisper? is this even available? If not ano ba meron sa grocery?

[cerelina]

sa watsons sis meron modess and caress so far yun pa lang nakita kong brand tapos sa mercury meron din nabibili na underpads

[redpickles]

So helpful mga sis!!! Thanks:)

[bibits]

is 1 pack of maternity napkin enough? i bought 1 pack of maternity napkins and then 1 big pack of an overnight napkin i hope those are enough

to be safe for the first few days, have atleast a pack of napkins for each day. depende din kasi how strong yung bleeding is and also syempre palit ng palit din esp after every punta sa cr. ako I just bought 1 pack of maternity napkin kasi i preferred to use na the overnight napkins since its thinner and may wings sya

[marssie]

Diba during stay sa hospital, provided na ang maternity napkins? Few pcs lang kasi dala ko gagamitin ko lang sana pag uuwi na...

[cerelina]

based dun sa friend ko na nurse whose working don sa hospital na pag aanakan ko they provide daw but it has extra fee patients can bring naman daw their own things, im not sure if its applicable to all hospitals kaya I bought 2 packs na lang nung caress na maternity napkin just to be sure

Tsaka mga sis old undies gamitin nyo para in case mag ka stain tapon nyo na lang dito sa hospital sa US free ang disposable undies and napkin. Pero may dala din akong sakin. I prefer using overnight pads yung makapal the whole day kase di ako tinatagusan. Kase on top of pads mag tucks pa na nakalagay at ointment kaya messy talaga. So every wee wee palit ng palit

Sa baby checklist naman may take home pa kong diaper from the hospital pati milk at clothes from them... kaya pauwing damit lang binaon ko..

[purple29]

^^ That's true kaya it's better if you can bring your own maternity napkin and underpads to lessen the charges to your hospital bill. Nagulat nga ako kasi pati yung cup na pinagsukahan ko naka charge din sa pala sa akin.

[akiteklea]

^yup true yan, especially sa st lukes lahat my bayad, pati yung 1pack of cotton balls na P3.00 nakalist sa breakdown at pinabayad pa sa amin. Kaya better bring your own stuff talaga.

^^buti pa sa US, lahat libre! Inggit naman! 

[marssie]

Sige bring na nga ako extra baka di na sagutin insurance ko yung mga yun. How about facial wipes nagdala ba kau? How do keep your face and body clean habang nasa hospital? Lalo na sa mga CS?

[Janet31]

also consider mo na din [textspeak!] adult diaper...
I think kakailanganin mo yan.

[GeRi Sp!cE]

Cs ako when I gave birth kaya Hindi room-in Si baby.

Baby clothes-don't bring too much if sa nursery magstay Si baby.
Diaper-lahat ng nagamit na diapers ni baby charged sa bill. Ask the nurse if you can just provide your baby diaper.

based on my experience at TMC, here are essential stuff that was very useful during our 3 days/2 nights stay which i brought on my own.  Room-in din si baby and delivered via NSD.

Mommy stuff:
- disposable undies (cotton ones from Watsons, this was very useful for me). 
- modess maternity pads (no idea where to buy this and this was the only brand available at Watsons)
- toiletry kit (yes, i took a warm bath the next day when the nurse told me I can take a bath anytime as soon as the IV line and the epidural catheter was removed from me)
- going home clothes and make-up kit

*underpads was provided by the hospital, i guess this was charged to my bill
*bedding was comfortable enough and i only used the hospital gown the whole time but my hubby brought my favorite pillow just in case

Baby stuff:
- 4 receiving blankets
- 4 set of clothes
- lampin, burp pads, wash cloth
- lactacyd (since my mustela stuff has yet to arrive)
- 1 pack of diaper

*there is a baby kit provided by TMC which includes a lot of stuff including diaper, lactacyd, johnsons baby bath, ointment, cups, small basin, alcohol, cotton balls, etc..

once your baby is roomed in, all of the clothes needed will be provided by you so nagamit ko lahat nung set of clothes.  he was also given a bath everyday we were at the hospital.  i used the receiving blanket as bath towel since i didn't have one.  mittens and bonnets are also important since air-conditioned ang room.

mga sis ano ba dapat gamitin kay baby na alcohol for cleaning the pusod? isprophyl or ethyl?

[GeRi Sp!cE]

^sis they clean the same way. It's just a matter of buyers preference. I like isopropyl better than ethyl. I don't like ethyl alcohol's smell.

[nikki]

Sis m_lim, TMC provided 70% isopropyl alcohol in the baby kit para pang Linis ng pusod ni baby at para mag dry agad. Sa first weekly check up ni baby, his pedia also specified 70% isopropyl alcohol -- so I guess I would go with isopropyl if I were u

[ifcastro]

Sis pag nagdala kau ng breastpump sa hospital bag... Nisterilize niyo ba muna?
