Hi everyone! I'm a product management student researching how first-time mothers prepare for their hospital stay. I'd really appreciate your perspective as a midwife.Thank you for taking a few minutes to answer these questions!

1. Do first-time mothers commonly ask questions about what to pack for the hospital?
2. What are the most common concerns or misconceptions you hear about preparing for labor and delivery?
3. In your experience, what do first-time mothers tend to overpack or bring unnecessarily?
4. Do you find that mothers are often unsure about what the hospital provides versus what they need to bring themselves?
5. What resources do you currently recommend to help mothers prepare?
6. If there were a hospital-specific tool that generated a personalized packing checklist and clearly explained what the hospital provides versus what mothers should bring, would you recommend it to your patients? Why or why not?
7. If you could improve one part of how first-time mothers prepare for their hospital stay, what would it be?

Hey everyone! My name is Sali and I'm currently in a product management program working on a project on how first time moms prepare for hospital visits. I would love to get your insight if any of you have 2 minutes to spare to quickly fill this out! Thank you in advance :)

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me. I'm working on a product management project focused on helping first-time mothers prepare for their hospital stay. I'm hoping to get your perspective as a healthcare provider.

1. Do you find that first-time mothers often have questions or concerns about what to pack for the hospital?
2. What are the most common questions you receive about preparing for labor and delivery?
3. In your experience, where do patients usually get their information about what to bring to the hospital?
4. Do you think the current resources available to patients are sufficient? Why or why not?
5. If there were a hospital-specific tool that generated a personalized packing checklist and clearly explained what the hospital provides versus what patients should bring, do you think you would recommend it to your patients? Why or why not?
6. What concerns, if any, would you have before recommending a tool like this?
7. If you could improve one part of how first-time mothers prepare for their hospital stay, what would it be?

Hey everyone! My name is Sali and I'm conducting research for my product management program to better understand how expectant mothers prepare for labour and delivery.

If you can take the time to complete these questions, I would be extremely grateful.

1.⁠ ⁠During your pregnancies, when did you typically start thinking about preparing for the hospital?

 2.⁠ ⁠What were the most important items you wanted to have ready before labour? 

3.⁠ ⁠How did your approach to packing change from your first child to your later children?

 4.⁠ ⁠Did you find preparing a hospital bag stressful? Why or why not? 

5.⁠ ⁠How did you decide what to pack? 

6.⁠ ⁠What resources did you use when preparing (friends, family, social media, hospital recommendations, etc.)? 

7.⁠ ⁠What was the most frustrating or challenging part of getting ready for the hospital? 

8.⁠ ⁠Looking back, were there items you packed but never used? Were there things you wished you had brought? 

9.⁠ ⁠If you could change one thing about the preparation process for labour and the hospital stay, what would it be?

10.⁠ ⁠Is there anything you learned after having multiple children that would have made preparing for your first birth easier?

Thank you all :)
