Loose-fitting, comfortable clothes: Pack loose-fitting nightgowns or comfortable pajamas for the duration of your hospital stay. They will provide you with ease of movement and comfort. You can find a range of comfortable maternity nightwear at Spring Maternity.











Nursing bras and breast pads


Choose nursing bras that offer support and convenience for breastfeeding. Pack a few pairs of breast pads to absorb leaks. Browse nursing bras and breast pads at Pupsik Studio.


Personal Care Items

Toiletries: Bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, soap, and other personal care items to make yourself feel fresh and clean during your stay. Find travel-sized toiletries and personal care items at Guardian Online, or at their physical stores with multiple outlets all over Singapore.






Maternity pads

Stock up on comfortable maternity pads for post-delivery bleeding. Maternity pads are designed for postpartum bleeding, offering extra absorbency and coverage, while sanitary pads are used for menstrual flow. Hence, maternity pads are thicker and wider than sanitary pads. They are easily available at your local supermarket.


Baby Essentials

Nourishment and Snacks

Miscellaneous Items


Important documents: Keep your identification, hospital registration forms, and any other necessary documents in a separate folder or envelope for easy access.


Electronics and chargers: Pack your phone, camera, and their respective chargers to capture and share those precious moments.
