๐๐ป Shower before going to the hospital if you can! If you’re outside and your cramps are very bad / bleeding / any abnormal signs common sense to go to hospital straight.
๐๐ปBring hospital bag. If you are doing cord blood banking, bring the box that they will give you during your sign up.
๐๐ปGo to the labour / delivery ward. They will check if you’re dilated.
๐๐ปIf you’re in labour, daddy needs to register you at front desk.
๐๐ปMommy try to calm down.
๐๐ปThey will ask if you want the Enema. Say yes duh.
๐๐ปWay before this special day, you should already think / research about how natural you want the delivery to be. Your mind will not be clear when you’re having contractions! Then again, you may decide you want epidural before D-day then realise you want to go all natural that day. Whatever you decide, to prevent more chaos and emotion overwhelm, decide asap and try to stick to it.
๐๐ปIf you want epidural, the earlier the better (according to my anesthesiologist). If you’re very scared, ask for the laughing gas. I didn’t feel a thing cos I was so high on laughing gas.
๐๐ปDaddy call confinement nanny to inform her mommy is in labour
๐๐ปDaddy call cord blood banking person to inform mommy is in labour and pass that box you brought to the nurse (she will ask you for it when you admit anyway)
๐๐ปIf you’re doing placenta pills, call that person in charge to inform. They will come collect it from daddy. Just pay for the 24 hour collection. (If not you have to store it in an ice box and hold mommy’s placenta for several hours)
