Childbirth is one of the most important and emotional events in life for the prospective parents. The couple desperately waits for almost 40 weeks to finally hear the "coos", cries, and witness the sleepy sighs and tiny yawns of the infant they’ve given birth to.
The journey from conception till childbirth is soaked up in mixed up emotions of stress, anxiety, curiosity, and happiness.
It ends by making its way for the mood of celebration and homecoming of the newborn. Packing the maternity bag is one of the bizarre qualities that the expecting mother naturally possesses. Since normal labor can take place anywhere between 37 to 42 weeks of pregnancy, it is always a fairly good idea to pack the maternity bags in the 37th week of gestation just to avoid the last-minute confusion and rush.

Think about the items that help you relax. Your favourite music?
Spectacled Mothers who wish to see herself giving birth to a child often bring glasses or a pair of contact lenses for clear vision. (Tip: Glasses may become foggy during delivery, therefore it is advised that you bring a pair of contact lenses to witness childbirth.)
Who doesn't want to capture the joyful moments of childbirth?
Keep a camera or a camcorder to capture the big moments of life. Make sure to keep a battery charger in addition to the cable cord just in case the hospital, don't let you use the plug. (Tip: Do not forget to keep the mobile charger!)
A kimono-type gown that the hospital provides you with after the baby is born, some women prefer to wear their own nightgown. Keep an extra pair of clothes that you would like to wear while going back home.
(Important: Do not forget to keep a lot of pairs of Maternal Underpants even though the hospital provides you with mesh underwear and sanitary pads! The best is to have a set of disposable or use-and-throw underpants available in the market.)
