What do you need to prepare for childbirth? Things you must prepare and useful
There are many different types of items you need during pregnancy and after giving birth, and it takes time and effort to get them. Make a list of what you need in advance and prepare in a planned manner. Web sites such as baby products and clothing manufacturers and retailers offer "preparation lists," so it is also recommended to make use of them.
A must and useful item for moms before giving birth
A pregnant mother's body undergoes many other changes besides growing belly.
In addition to changes in body shape, the skin becomes more likely to dry out and become sensitive, making it more likely that it is not possible to stay comfortable with your usual clothes or underwear. It's a good idea to prepare pre-natal clothing (maternity wear) that has been designed with ingenuity in materials and designs, as well as maternity bras and shorts that are less tight, half tops and innerwear with cups.
The longer maternity pajamas that loosely wrap around your larger stomach also support you in a comfortable sleep.
We also recommend care items such as massage creams and moisturizing creams.
From around the fifth month when your stomach starts to become more noticeable, you will need to wrap your belly band (pregnant lace). Abdominal belts protect the stomach from cold and impact, support posture, and support the stomach from below to reduce the strain on your lower back.
It is said that nearly half of pregnant women develop hemorrhoids as the uterus grows, causing compression to the surrounding blood vessels and intestines and worsening constipation. If you have pain in your buttocks, a donut-shaped circular seat cushion reduces the strain on your seat. It may be useful for those who may suffer from pain in the perineum after giving birth, so it may be a good idea to have it ready.
What do I need when I'm hospitalized or after giving birth?
When hospitalising, the first thing you need is a set of three items: a maternal and child health handbook, medical card, and insurance card. It's a good idea to put them in a special case.
There are several essentials for hospitalization for childbirth that are different from those during normal hospitalization.
One of them is postpartum pads. It's like a large sanitary napkin.
After giving birth, parts of the placenta and egg membrane, blood and amniotic fluid that have accumulated in the uterus will appear over several days. It is called olive.
Puerperal pads are used to prevent bad dew. Using puerperal shorts that open the crotch area is convenient as they allow you to deal with the problem while lying down without having to change pads or take off your underwear during examinations.
After giving birth, we recommend that you firmly support the loose pelvis with a pelvic belt or pelvic support. However, if you give birth by caesarean section, you may not be able to wear a belt immediately. Consult your doctor before using it.
Once the postpartum period has passed and the dew has subsided, it is also recommended to wear a nipper or a remodeling girdle to tighten the waist and pelvis to restore the sagging belly.
Breast milk pads to prevent clothes from getting wet with the oozing of breast milk is also a must-have after birth.
It is also useful to have clean cotton or wet cotton to wipe your fingers, chest, and baby's face when breastfeeding. There are also delicate nipple care creams that can be used to care for nipples that tend to get rough.
Mother's bags are essential when going out with your baby after being discharged from the hospital, and have a large capacity that makes it easy to organize the contents, making them useful for visiting or in the hospital. It's a good idea to prepare it early.
Baby items to use immediately after birth
Milk and diapers are the most important things you will need right after birth.
Bottles are essential, as they are used when feeding milk and liquid milk, as they are used when giving milked breast milk. We will also prepare a special brush, detergent, and disinfectant to wash the baby bottle and the included nipples.
Mothers who prefer breast milk may also need formula or liquid milk when they are unwell or when they are not in sufficient milk. It's a good idea to prepare it for emergency purposes.
Diapers are the norm now, but when using cloth diapers, choose fabrics that are soft to the touch so that they do not irritate the baby's skin. Diapers come in sizes, so be sure to have a small size for newborns.
Use a thick, soft wipe, which is essential when changing diapers.
Swaddles are also used when holding a baby or to put them to bed when they are discharged from the hospital.
A swaddle is a large cloth that wraps around a baby, and it has many benefits, such as making it easier to hold a baby that has no neck in place, giving the baby a sense of security and supporting body temperature regulation.
It is convenient to have one, as it can be used in a variety of situations besides wrapping the baby, such as as a sheet to lay down when changing diapers or as a nursing cape.
Essential things to take care of your baby
What you need to wear is one of the things you need right away.
There are several types of underwear that vary in length and shape. What you should prepare as a must-have is a short, soft underwear that is short and soft to the touch, and a pair of underwear that has snaps in the crotch so it is difficult to remove even when you move. Baby clothes worn on top of them are connected at the top and bottom, and are convenient for pairing all that become pants-like when the crotch snaps are stopped, or dresses that can be worn as skirts or pants depending on how the snaps are fastened.
A bib (bib) to prevent milk from spitting or drooling your clothes, and a gauze handkerchief that can gently wipe your hands and face are also essentials. It's also useful to have sweat pads on your back, mittens to prevent your face from getting hurt with your own nails, and socks and hats to protect you from getting cold and protect you. It is also important to prepare nail clippers and take care of them frequently so that you can keep your nails short at all times.
Bedding is also required after being discharged from the hospital.
Baby futons are not only size but also hardness and feel to the baby's body, so we recommend that you have a special one. It's convenient to have a baby bed too.
In addition to mattresses and quilts, it is a good idea to have a few covers, such as a waterproof sheet, and a quilt pad to lay on top of the quilt to keep your quilted at all times.
Also, make sure to prepare detergents that do not contain synthetic fragrances or optical brighteners for washing your clothes and bedding.
Make sure to have a bathtub for babies, as well as low-irritating baby soap and baby lotion, and bath towels.
Outing items that can be used at home, not only when you're out
Baby carriers, an essential item for going out, are great not only when going out, but also when doing housework and putting them to bed. Please note that the target age varies depending on the product, but some are available from newborns, so make sure to use them.
BABY & Me's all-in-one hip seat carrier, BELK-S, can be used alone by removing only the hip seat, so even babies who are born can be held sideways. It is useful when breastfeeding and putting you to bed.
Also, going out with babies tends to have a lot of luggage, so it's convenient to have a stroller. A child seat is essential when carrying it in a car. Children under the age of 6 are required to use child seats when riding in a car, and it is against the law for adults to carry them in a car.
It's convenient to have a baby carrier or a cold-weather cape that can be attached to a stroller in cold seasons, and if you're likely to have the opportunity to breastfeed while you're out and about, you can have a nursing cape so you don't have a nursing room. Make sure to prepare it if necessary.
This is all you need to prepare your baby carrier!
