think diff hospital give out different gifts. There was a receiving blanket from MAH but I dont dare to use it cos it was not washed mah.
So .... we have to bring our receiving blanket and a set of new clothings, mittens, botties when we bring bb home.
You can prep a few more sets of mittens and booties during hospital stay and pass to the nurses so that they can wear it for ur baby. Cos usually the baby are wrapped in the towel.

during discharge, you also bring home the leftover the maternity pad, baby wipes and diapers which we used in the hospital since we've paid for it.
how many bedders will u be choosing ? last time I chose 4 bedder. Think this time hubby want me to stay in 2 bedder.
btw my fren who opted for 1 bedder in MT E got a limousine ride home leh !!!
ok i have this list of items to be packed in hospital bag for your gals' reference:
1) marriage cert (for registering baby's birth)
2) hubby & mine i/c
3) 2 sets of night gowns (button front)
4) nursing bras
5) mittens & booties x 2sets
6) doctor's letter & laboratory report (from blood test)
7) pre-admission letter that i earlier sent to MAH
8) socks for delivery suite
9) breast pads & maternity pads & spare NB size disposable diapers
10) some simple cosmetics & preferred toiletries
11) sweater & shawl for hubby & me respectively.
12) Mobile phone & charger
13) lots of coins for hubby to get food & drinks while waiting..
14) for discharge: 1 set of mummy's going home clothes & 1 set of baby's going home clothes
15) receipts of all your antenatal visits to gynae (for additional medisave claim of 450 SGD)
16) disposable panties
optional:
1) baby receiving blanket (MAH is giving one)
2) swimming ring (in case episiotomy cut makes it hard to sit down..)
3) relaxation aids in delivery suite e.g. relaxation CDs, CD players (MP3 players), massage oil, hot/cold compress (for hubby to help in 1st stage of labour), TENS machine (if u rented it from MAH),etc.. MAH aparently have birthing stool/ birth ball etc on standby and there is one delivery suite with a jacuzzi..

re:giving out cakes
I invited frens and relatives to my place. But I still order cakes for relatives. They will collect from my plc. However if I dont hold the celebration, then I have to bring the bb and the cake for visiting.
