Circumstances of child birth are different in every delivery. There is no telling how long labor will take and how long you’ll need to be in the Hospital for recovery (unless you have a scheduled c-section). You may use all of these things, you may use none of them… But I’m a girl that likes to be prepared for anything!
I recommend keeping your Hospital registration and your Birth Plan in your wallet.
