Your doctor will perform a routine physical exam to try and figure out what's causing your back pain.

Q: The average hospital stay for a standard delivery with no complications is two days; the minimum stay following a C-section is three days. Pack for an extra day or two depending on your situation. Make sure it's weather-appropriate and realistic. Those skinny jeans may be screaming for you, but don't think that you'll be runway-ready out of the delivery room. Give your body time to recover and plan your outfit accordingly. Likewise for the baby - that little sundress may be too cute to pass up, but unrealistic if it's raining out. Your best bet for baby is a "onesie", a set of pajamas, a hat, mittens (to prevent the baby from scratching themselves), and a blanket. Dressing the baby in layers will provide for various weather eventualities. This day will never happen again. Make sure to capture it, and bring what you need to keep a full battery the whole time. Money is necessary, but not too much. Only bring with you what you may actually need, such as a cab fare, treat money and cash for sundry items. If you don't bring anything else, bring yours and your partner's ID's, any pre-admission forms, insurance papers, birth plan, a list of people to call when the baby is born, etc.
A: Pack enough for your entire hospital stay. Consider many factors when packing a going-home outfit for mom and baby. Bring your phone, camera, and any needed chargers. Have some cash. Pack paperwork.

Q: There are several products containing alcohol that will remove adhesives. You can use rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, or even an alcoholic beverage, like Smirnoff.

Apply more alcohol and allow it to sit for a few more minutes if the sticker does not come off completely the first time. The surface should dry quickly.
