When your due date is around the corner, there's excitement in the air—and a little nervousness too. One thing that gives you confidence during those last few weeks is knowing that your hospital bag is packed and ready.

Many moms in Jaipur ask us—“What exactly do I need to take to the hospital?” The short answer: just enough to keep you and your baby comfortable, clean, and cared for. But packing smartly (not just stuffing things) makes a big difference when those first contractions kick in.

So here’s a no-nonsense, mom-tested checklist to help you be prepared—mentally and practically.

When Should You Pack?

Ideally, pack your hospital bag when you're around 32–34 weeks pregnant. Don't leave it too late—you never know when the baby will decide to arrive early. At Maternite Hospital, we’ve seen enough moms rushing in at midnight with half-packed bags and forgotten documents.

What to Pack for the Mom

1. Medical File & Documents

• Your reports, scans, ID proof, and hospital registration papers
• Insurance papers (if applicable)

 

2. Comfortable Maternity Wear

• 2–3 loose nightgowns with front opening (easy for feeding)
• Maternity panties & nursing bras
• Shawl or light sweater (Jaipur hospitals can feel chilly with AC)

 

3. Toiletries

• Toothbrush, toothpaste, face wash
• Hair ties, comb, soap, lip balm (your lips will feel dry!)
• Sanitary pads (hospital usually provides, but carry extra)

 

4. Personal Essentials

• Phone + charger
• Water bottle
• Snacks (biscuits, dry fruits, ORS) for your post-delivery hunger
• A pair of slippers

 

What to Pack for the Baby

1. Newborn Clothes

• 3–4 sets of cotton jhablas or onesies
• Mittens, socks, and caps
• Soft cotton towel and 2–3 napkins

 

2. Diapers & Wipes

• Newborn-size diapers (carry 10–12)
• Wet wipes & rash cream

 

3. Blanket & Swaddle

• 2 lightweight cotton swaddles
• 1 soft blanket (especially for Jaipur winter months)

 

4. Feeding Essentials (if advised by your doctor)

• Bottle, formula, sterilizer (only if doctor suggests)

 

What to Pack for the Partner or Attendant

• 1 pair of clothes
• Toiletries
• Snacks and water bottle
• A notepad and pen (to track baby’s feeds, doctor instructions)

 

A Quick Note from Maternite

You don’t have to carry the world with you—just enough to feel like yourself. A lot of what you need is already available at the best hospital for pregnancy like Maternite. But it helps when you have your own comforts from home.

We always suggest our moms talk to their gynecologist in Jaipur during their 8th-month checkup to confirm what the hospital already provides—and what you need to bring.
