What do women from different countries of the world take with them to the maternity hospital

Any woman waiting for a baby is preparing for a trip to the maternity hospital and packs the most necessary things for this. Seven women from around the world, with the support of the organization WaterAid, decided to show their "emergency" bag and its contents. The results are really amazing.
