What does a birth set include?

Your baby is about to arrive in just a few weeks, so here are our tips for putting together your baby's birth set.

  • Generally, the maternity hospital provides diapers and bathing materials for the baby during the entire stay.
  • Some midwives provide a list of baby essentials.
  • Newborns' skin is very sensitive, so choose cotton onesies that are easy to put on.
  • Include a cap and booties to protect your baby's head and feet.
  • Sleeping bags, comfy outfits, and bibs are also essential.

Mental health is so up and down when pregnant 🫠. I really hope I give birth soon.. I'll be 39 weeks Tuesday, hopefully I can get my date set in stone for the induction. Idk how much more this momma can take.

I am in the same boat, I will be 37 weeks and only have 2 more weeks until I have her through surgery. Between being anxious and ready to meet her and time dragging ass, to being alone, having no significant other or friends to be there is hard as hell. You got this mama, ❤️ I believe in you! We can only take it day by day and hope for the best

I'm 7 weeks 1 day with my second set of twins. I'm considering doing C-section instead of natural birth this time. All my twin mamas, is this a good plan to have a C-section? I want one but I have no clue how it works to so can y'all give me details?

My daughter Skye was breech but I didn't want to undergo intense surgery and had her flipped but I've talked to my OB and she said that with a second set it could either be more difficult or easier. I just think it would be better if I gave birth with C section because I...

Has anyone set up the nursery or baby items in their room yet? I can't wait to open the boxes and set it all up, but it feels too early.

For moms who has a natural birth for their FIRST baby, at what gestation did the little one decide to come? At 40 weeks and getting pressure to set an induction date, but plan on waiting a bit bc baby is perfectly healthy and normal to come late.

I was exactly 39 weeks with my natural birth with NO epidural (not by choice lol) If I were you, I would wait at least a few more days to a week. Let your baby come on his own timing, unless advised by your doctors

Wow you fall into the 19% that has their first naturally early. You must have progressed really quickly to not be able to get an epidural. Yeah, refused to set a date today and told her I wouldn't schedule it until 41 weeks, and even then I wouldn't set the date until at least 41.5 weeks. She wanted to schedule it right away for that weekend, but I know it's just to nicely fit her schedule, which I don't like.
