i will be 28 weeks on sunday.and i went to the hospital b/c i thought i was going into preterm labor at my 26th week.it turned out it was braxton hicks but that made me think how unprepared i was really to go into labor at that time.i don't even have a carseat yet.but i have everything else.
i also wanted to know what my boyfriend will need while he is at the hospital b/c he plans on staying overnight until we can take the baby home.
Answer
i pack around 34 weeks into my pregnancy but here is a list for you
What to pack for yourself
After your baby is born, you'll want to keep things simple. Here's a list of things you'll want to bring to the hospital:
Comfortable clothes, including something loose and flowing to wear home
Robe and nightgown
Nursing bras
Slippers
Sanitary pads
Toiletries (shampoo, toothbrush and toothpaste, skin care lotion, hairbrush, deodorant, etc.)
A few pairs of maternity panties
A battery-powered CD player with headphones so you can listen to relaxing music while you're in labor
A pocket name book if you haven't chosen a name for your baby
What to pack for your significant other/coach
Toiletries
Change of clothes if your significant other/coach will be staying overnight at the hospital
A camera and film and/or a video camera
What to pack for your baby
Car seat By law, you have to have a child car seat to take your baby home. Make sure it's installed correctly.
Diapers
Receiving blanket Bring other blankets if the weather is cold.
An outfit to wear home (including socks and booties)
Onesies These are baby "bodysuits" that are designed for ease of dressing and changing, and add an extra layer of warmth under the baby's outfit.
A hat You might be able to keep the one the hospital puts on your baby.)
You might also want to bring snacks such as granola bars, crackers, dried fruit, etc. After going into labor, you will probably be hungry. You should also bring change for the vending machines in case the hospital cafeteria is closed.
Do NOT bring a cell phone (each room has a telephone for patients to use), cash, credit cards, jewelry, or other valuables with you to the hospital.

Answer
Yes, you need to shrink your stomach by eating less. A good diet/exercise plan would be:
Breakfast: Cook 9-grain cereal (from health food store) in water with rolled oats and wheat bran. Make a big pot of it on weekends and nuke 1/2 cup each morning. Add low fat milk or yogurt, banana, walnuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine. Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day to raise blood sugar level which falls during the night.
Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey ½ sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich on whole grain bread (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham, or beef stew.
Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.
Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, green or red peppers, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.
Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.
Or grilled fish with steamed veggies.
Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes and green or red peppers.
Foods to avoid: junk food, fast foods, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fat/grease (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza, chips, fries), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.
To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)
Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Go hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, rowing, jump rope, play tennis, badminton, volleyball, soccer, jumping jacks, lift weights, trampoline? To tone your tummy, do sit ups, push ups, pull ups, leg lifts, butt raises and crunches.
If you lack energy, take Super B complex. Try appetite suppressants.
