During my pregnancy days, mothers to be where usually advised to pack hospital bags at 7months, and I took that advice to heart though I never found myself in a precarious situation, as some mothers tell stories of how their baby came when they hadn’t even bought anything for the new born not to talk about packing the hospital bag. Some even ended up with an emergency contribution of clothes and wraps from other mothers.
