However, from last five year there is a change in the marking scheme of CBSE Board examination. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced grading system instead of giving marks in percentages. Those students who feels that they need to improve their grades can reappear for the improvement examinations same year in the month of July. <a href="http://cbse-results.in/" rel="nofollow">www.cbseResults.Nic.In/</a>, <a href="http://cbse-results.in/" rel="nofollow">cbseresults.nic.in</a>, <a href="http://cbse-results.in/" rel="nofollow">www.cbseresults.nic.in</a>Pari Nidhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08856929253577661140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-48155061906862096472017-02-01T18:28:01.023-06:002017-02-01T18:28:01.023-06:00Less is more!

This was a life saver for me!! Also snacks as someone mentioned is key. But really you need very little. I barely touched my bag. I did bring face wipes for the times I could barely get out of bed to wash my face. Also a light sweater was helpful!

The elastic waist sweatpants I brought pressed on my incision and it was pretty painful so drawstring pants were helpful. My feet didn't swell any during pregnancy but they did after the csection from all the fluids. I wished I had packed slippers instead of having to squeeze into my sneakers. Hopefully your home is close enough to the hospital that Parker can run and pick up anything you want/forgot. I'm so excited for you!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10810458909586129063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-50747692591467939222017-01-30T23:12:06.237-06:002017-01-30T23:12:06.237-06:00I surprised myself and wore my hospital gown throu...I surprised myself and wore my hospital gown throughout most of my stay. If you think you might want to wear your own clothes, I'd echo that a gown is a great option. I bought a pretty nursing gown and wore it at the hospital and then lived in it the first few weeks at home :) I'd also agree with packing snacks! And lanolin/nipple cream! Good luck, mama! Those first few days with your sweet baby are THE best! <br /><br />Ps. Like you, I had high fluid and a big (healthy) baby boy! Thinking about you! I've never commented before, but I love your blog!

You're gettin...Yay for packing a hospital bag!! You're getting so close! I would suggest a nightgown that is nursing friendly. I lived in mine while at the hospital and it was so much nicer than wearing the hospital gown. It's nice not to have anything tight on your belly and they check you a lot, so there's that. Also, I was happy to have my own socks. And make up if you wear it. It's nice to feel at least a little bit pretty after birthing a child ;) When I fixed myself up, I felt so much better and was happier to have visitors and I felt more like a person rather than a blob. And the hospital's undies? hands down, the best ever. Have fun, have fun! I hope it all goes well!!

But hospitals have them and the hospital grade ones are more effective and more gentle so you can just use the one there :)<br /><br />I also took a baby nail file to help with those sharp nails, way easier than clippers I think. I would bring at least one other baby outfit because accidents happen... even as you are walking out the door to go home lol.

My mom brought me a blanket from home too which was nice when I could get a few minutes of shut eye. <br /><br />I really regret not taking other clothes for Sam (probably because I had no premie clothes on hand *eyeroll*) even though he was swaddled the whole time. If/when we have another baby I would definitely take onesies for the baby (just 2-3) and my own swaddle blankets since the hospital ones can be so stiff and not long enough. The muslin kind are perfection! <br /><br />I lived in in the mesh undies, nursing tanks, a robe and socks. It made it more comfy since you feel so bloated but can easily cover up when people/nurses comes in while also nursing constantly. And yes, hospital grade pumps forever! Do you love my novel?! Sorry friend! I'm getting so so excited for you!<br /><br />Also, make sure Parker takes your nice camera! I treasured the fact that my sister and Ashley snapped tons of pictures the first few days with the small details so I don't forget!Emily Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09516887474242210106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-70622651528070321542017-01-30T12:00:03.304-06:002017-01-30T12:00:03.304-06:00I have 0 advice on what to pack in your hospital b...I have 0 advice on what to pack in your hospital bag, but I've always liked the idea of having my own special playlist of music to listen to during labor and delivery!

There wasn't a ton of sleeping going on but when I did get to close my eyes it sure felt good to have my own pillow! I also brought my nursing pillow with both babies.<br /><br />This seems a little glamorous but I brought my hair dryer with baby #2. I don't like having wet hair (especially in the hospital where it's cold) so it felt good to be able to dry it!

From my ...Congrats on the new baby boy coming soon! From my experience, I recommend taking an extension cord (just a short 5-foot one works) in case the outlets are far from your bed. I guess if you have a really long charger that works too. Also, this isn't really a packing item, but definitely say YES if people offer to bring food to you. Hospital food is only so good, right? My friend picked up a Chick-fil-A sandwich to bring me, and it was like HEAVEN after the hospital food! God bless you on this exciting new chapter!SCPitzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131581613083090324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-20781215141222220332017-01-30T09:21:50.858-06:002017-01-30T09:21:50.858-06:00I would definitely recommend nightgowns over short...I would definitely recommend nightgowns over shorts mostly because your stomach will feel bloated even after baby and gowns are so much more comfortable.

But I just wanted to say that I agree with you on the baby blankets and clothes, I probably wouldn't bring those either. I remember going to a friend's baby shower and swaddles were a constant gift. And my mom was telling me that the ones in the hospital will work perfectly! I like the simplicity of what you'll be bringing with you on that day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06624660773585276439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6150410959275048873.post-71187882204130704612017-01-30T07:41:22.867-06:002017-01-30T07:41:22.867-06:00Also lotion!

We wanted something a little better.<br /><br />Also, bring your prenatals. They wanted me to continue taking them daily and the ones they gave me upset my tummy.

When the cafeteria isn't open and you are STARVING you can send hubby down for a drink and snack.<br /><br />Also, our hospital was weird about clothing and wanted baby clothed! When I had her swaddled in their shirt they kept asking me if I needed baby clothes (they were going to send in a social worker!) so I recommend taking a few gowns in case they press you about it.

And I already started throwing a few things in since it's looking like there's a really good chance I'll be headed to the hospital on my own and not wanting to pack through labor. Granola bars (I was SO hungry post-labor) and shower shoes were must haves for me. Camera. And hairbrush/straightener so I can take a shower me feel human/not look terrible for the first pictures! So, so excited for you!! Can't wait to read all about it! :)<br /><br />Kourtney @ www.themartinsandthemarines.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878650318031572929noreply@blogger.com
