Hospital Bag Checklist. What to pack?

-
What to pack indeed.
Chances are when you are coming in for your 28 weeks check up, the nurses will ask you to pack up your hospital bag and place them in the car. Don't take her advise lightly. Small steps are key here ladies. For me, this is what happen,

Day 1 - Pull out the bag
Day 2 - Forgot about it
Day 3 - Forgot about it
Day 4 - Why is this bag hanging around?
Day 5 - Forgot about it
Day 6 - Move the bag to the storage box, cause I am completely forgot why it was out in the first place.
Day 7 - Realize I need to pack the bag
Day 8 - Pull out the bag again.
Day 9 - I'm tired
Day 10 - Looking at baby cloth and drift away
Day 11 - My husband reminds me to pack the bag

Yeah, small steps. Or maybe tiny mini small steps. So, what I end up packing in the bag?
I used Fjallraven Kanken 16L as my hospital bag. Later on this bag will become the diaper bag and my purse combine. I will not carry another bag as my purse. Its fine, right now I am using the same bag, the different is right now I'm using the mini one, 7l to be exact. It serve it purpose. And the bag is sooo big. Dont let the frontal face fool ya. Oh yeah I got the bag in the same design color as my previous bag. Even my husband does not realize that I just bought another Kanken.

They are literally the same


In the Kanken I pack:

Documentation
1. Buku Pink
2. MyKad

Cube 1 - Mom's Stuff
1. Towel 1x
2. Nursing bra 1x
3. Adult diaper 1x
4. Long sleeve long dress 1x
4. Headscarves

Cube 2- Misc Stuff
1. Toiletries Set
2. Headband and hairties
3. Snacks
4. Non-slip fluffy sock
5. Vanity Set
6. Electronics (Phone Charger, Powerbank)

Cube 3 - Baby's Stuff (going home outfit only)
1. Towel/Napkin 1x
2. Zip Up Sleepers 1x
3. Newborn Diapers 1x
4. Swaddle blanket 1x
5. Anakku Head to toe wash 1x

And then I realize, what about my husband? Or anybody that may be waiting for me while I'm in labour? So I pack a different bag just for them.
1. Sleeping bag 1x
2. Small pillow 1x
3. Snacks
4. Extra NB diapers
5. Extra Adult diapers
6. Extra pair of baby's stuff set

That's it. I will update this post on what I actually need and what I ended up not using.

Why am I here?

So yeah. I’m looking for a way to start a new project. I got my final result for my master's studies on 9 August 2019. Suddenly everything went blank. I stare at my sleeping husband right next to me. Snoring lightly as he is working hard during the days. Trying to provide me and our unborn child a better life in the future. But something is missing. Back then, I was always running around doing something. I completed my bachelor degree a year early from all my friends, graduating at 23, a month later I got myself a decent job, move to Damansara and start to earn my living. By the time the convocation ceremony, I furnish myself with a brand new car while my friends still struggling to look for a job. The job is great. I was occupied from 8 am till late at night. I figured I’m young. I should be working all the time and I am. I was determined to collect, carrell, and get all the information regarding this new world from my boss. He is great. He’s an AR who used to work in a big fir...

So you found out you are with child. What now? I dont know what to do too once the stick turn blue. I just wait around 10 weeks, then I called up Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Selangor (JKNS) at 03 5123 7333 for the next instruction I guess and what to do next. Obviously once we found out we are pregnant the advise from parents and friends start pouring in. Some says go to your first check up at 10 weeks, some said 12 weeks. How would you know for sure? And if you are going to go through government clinic, which one you should go? I have all these question in my head. So I called JKNS up. They were so helpful. The lady look up my home address up and said that I should go to Klinik Kesihatan Ibu dan Anak Seri Kembangan. I argued that my home is closer to Putrajaya than the suggested KK. And patiently she explain to me that my address are covered by Seri Kembangan Clinic. And I should go in when I'm at 10 weeks along in my pregnancies. No need to bring your own pregnancy test whatsover. B...

I've been looking for a parental-ish workshop around Klang Valley that suit our working schedule. Both of us works in construction industry. We do work full day on Saturday and sometimes Sunday too. Thank goodness I found the Parentcraft Workshop by Medical Marketing Review. This is their 10th session. I found out about their workshop through Mums Club Instagram the day of their 9.0 workshop. I just literally contact the contact number on the banner asking when is the next event and please conduct the workshop on Sunday. We had a good laugh. Fast forward on 21/8/2019, the minute they posted this banner I am jumping inside and register on the spot. Yeah and I got the 20% off. 4 days before the workshop, I received 2 email from the organizer. 1 of them is the QR code or the ticket for the workshop and another email is the venue information and the agenda. About the workshop. The venue Easy to reach, parking was a breeze, and easy to find the hall. The food Plenty. ...
