What to pack in the suitcase for the moms-to-be.

As soon as you enter the third trimester, it's time to think about packing your maternity suitcase, but what things should you pack for the mom-to-be? Follow this checklist!


  • If you have a due date, the baby can arrive at any time, so to avoid stress and anxiety, it's best to pack for the maternity ward as early as the 8th month.
  • Inside? If you've got everything ready for the baby's arrival, you also need to make sure that your stay in the maternity ward is as stress-free as possible.
  • Pack four to five comfortable outfits, such as loose-fitting T-shirts and leggings, as well as three or four nightgowns.
  • Disposable panties and super-absorbent sanitary napkins to be ready for lochia or postpartum discharge.
  • A toiletry kit with shower gel, shampoo, deodorant, make-up, swollen legs and stretch marks care products, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
  • Something to relax, like music or a book, even if it is advised to rest when the baby is asleep!
