D-Day is approaching for Judy Ann Santos-Agoncillo – and we definitely give her points for being an organized and prepared momma. The actress, who’s close to eight months pregnant, recently posted a photo of her hospital bag on Instagram, with tips for expectant women on what to prepare while infanticipating their baby’s arrival.
She wrote on @officialjuday: “Tips for mom’s about to give birth.. Prepare your things even before the baby’s arrival. ( baka mapaaga pagdating mabuti ng handa. ????) -change of clothes, nursing bra, baby’s clothes, cotton balls, baby wipes, toiletries, maternity pads, books or anything that can keep you company while at the hosp. 🙂 , newborn diapers, alcohol.. ( bring the things na pwedeng iprovide ng hosp. Para bawas sa bayarin. Hehe) socks, ( may pang new year at pasko ako para masaya! ) at ang pinaka importante sa lahat? Your HUSBAND! ???? to hold you, take videos and photos, to take care of you.. And to pay for your hospital bills. Hehehe! ???????????? #inabyoububba@ryan_agoncillo”

If you’re curious to know what the exact items are and where to find them, look below as we reveal Juday’s hospital bag must-haves:
1. Mamaway nursing bra (P2,208)
Many moms love it because they say it’s very comfortable, even in hot weather, and works well with t-shirts and other light fabrics. Buy it from Mamaway’s online store.
2. 365 Everyday Value Diapers
This is the diaper brand of US grocery store Whole Foods Market that specializes in organic/healthy products. Their website emphasizes that the pads are “never chlorine bleached, and they don’t contain latex or artificial fragrance.”
3. Mother-K Baby Storage Zipper Bags (P199 – 549)
For easily storing all of baby’s food and things in anti-bacterial plastic. Buy it from Mighty Baby’s online store or Mother-K retail partners.
4. Mother-K Disposable Organic Breast Pads (P479 for 32 pieces)
Anti-bacterial and highly absorbent, these pads made using 100% organic cotton offer great protection against leaks. Buy it from Mighty Baby’s online store or Mother-K retail partners.
5. Honest organic toiletries
Texas-based dad Justin Po told us that the toiletries are from The Honest Company. The US based company founded by Hollywood star Jessica Alba proudly offers “safe, eco-friendly, stylish and afforable” family care products. A company representative confirmed that Juday’s bag has their shampoo, lotion, conditioner and toothpaste.
6. Belly Bandit Couture (P3,295)
For moms who want to quickly return to their pre-pregnancy figure, this binder promises to “help tighten and shrink your belly, waist and hips.” Mothercare Philippines is the distributor of Belly Bandit.
Juday gave two more tips. First, bring your own consumable medical supplies like cotton balls, maternity pads and even alcohol to lower your hospital bill.
And last but not the least, don’t forget the husband. Remind him to bring lots of TLC, the camera – and the checkbook!
