What are you putting (or have put) in your bag to the hospital? Are there items that you wish you had or were very thankful for bringing?
I'm only at 28 weeks, but I'm a huge planner and I want to make sure that I don't forget anything when we go to the hospital.
Re: What's in your bag?
For me I packed my netbook, camera, change of clothes to come home in, flip flops hair band or something to hod my hair back, makeup (I look horrible PP) nursing tanks (a couple) PJ bottoms or sweat pants. Some smal bottles of hair shampoo, conditioner, body wash and my normal skincare stuff.
For the baby I packed 2 outfits in 2 different sizes (My babies range from Preemie to o-3 months go figure) a light blanket, car seat, (For DD I packed a hair prop for pictures),
Thats about it. They supply breast pads and other things so it made for light packing.
For myself I packed a change of clothing, actually 2 one for if I was cold, one for if I was hot. I brought my normal toiletries (body wash, shampoo, conditioner, face wash), I also brought makeup and my hair dryer b/c I wanted to feel clean and "normal". When I had Oliver (c section) I brought my own toilet paper b/c the hospitals is awful! I also had dh bring a pillow for himself and a big towel b/c the ones at the hospital seem so small! I also brought chapstick and eye drops.
For baby I brought 2 outfits to choose from for pictures and I really think that was it for baby b/c they have everything else I needed at the hospital.
Oh, just thought of something. Bring the baby book so that they can put footprints and handprints in the book for you while they are doing the "legal" ones!
Roll of quarters & change for the vending machine - I kept hearing "Do you have any change?" during my stay.
I ditto the chapstick!!
