SUDDEN LEE?

ONLY 5% OF THE BABIES ARE BORN ON THE DUE DATE.

So be sure to get your hospital bag ready when "Sudden Lee" arrive early!!

There's no right or wrong when should you pack your hospital bag. But i got mine ready at 34 weeks. Best is between 34 to 36 weeks.

I will share with you my hospital bag packing list (SINGAPORE context)

Documents :

1. Gynae Letter
2. Hospital admission form (my gynae faxed my pre admission form to Mount A)
3. Original outpatient receipts to your gynae (to claim Medisave)
4. Birth plan
5. Original ROM certificate if you want to register your LO's birth cert at the hospital 

*You can either register your baby’s name at the hospital or at Immigration and Custom Authority(ICA). Birth should be registered within 14 days from the date of birth, including Sundays and public holidays. If registration is done after 42 days, a letter of explanation stating the reason for late registration must be submitted for the Registrar/Registrar General's approval. After approval has been given, the birth will be registered and the birth certificate will be issued.
