Answer
Things that will make you feel good and comfortable. Hopefully you will have a healthy delivery and you will be out quickly, but pack just in case for the unexpected. As far as packing: xlarge pj's with button downs, large slippers ( in case swelling) nursing bra,comfortable underwear, socks with rubber tread for walking, large robe, hair tyes or clips toiletrIEs ie; tooth paste, brush, hair brush, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, camera notebook /diary to write down experience and list of visitors and gifts, baby's first little suit for hospital photo session, baby blanket, baby cap/hat, car seat weather appropriate clothing for mom and baby. Your bag should have wheels for easy to maneuver in case of surgery. MP3 player, nice aroma like an essential oil for you to feel good. Nice lip color, foundation, water proof mascara. Insurance cards, contact names and numbers of friends and relatives to let them know who and when someone has arrived and how mom is doing! Best of luck to you and your family.

Is it rude not to visit a newborn baby?

My cousin just had a baby but we've never been close. It would be easy enough to pay a visit but I would prefer to just send a card. Would that be ok or is that rude seeing as how were family.
Answer
with my first child, i had a ton of visitors because my son's father had a ton of friends and family, and it made me feel really special.
this will be my second child, and i don't have many friends or family - maybe one or two that MIGHT visit the hospital. sometimes, i imagine the baby and i sitting in the hospital alone, and it makes me sooo sad. i know his daddy will be with us, but having the support of visiting friends and family, even if they aren't close and even if we are exhausted, would mean the world to me.
if it doesn't inconvenience you too much to pop in for just half an hour, i think it would be a really thoughtful gesture.
although, if it is inconvenient or you feel awkward about it because you aren't close, don't force yourself to go. you aren't obligated.
and, the best gift i received in the hospital was an easy-to-care-for plant.
it was better than a card, easier to take home than a vase of flowers, and i got to nurture it and watch it grow along with my kiddo :)
