If you’re having a hospital or birthing center birth, don’t forget to take along all the important paper items you’ll need in your labor bag. The last thing you want is for your partner to have to run home for paperwork while you labor alone.
Items you may need:
* Any hospital or medical paperwork that you haven’t already turned in.
* Health insurance information and your health insurance card.
* Your birth plan.
* If you’ve got it, health insurance paperwork for the new baby.
* Your ID and your partner’s ID. You both may need your social security cards as well.
Bonus items to pack:
* Loose change - so your partner can make phone calls to family and friends.
* Small pad of paper and pen - at the hospital your nurses, midwife, or doctor may give you important info and tips you’d like to jot down.
Can you think of anything else paper-minded that you should take with you?
