Re: what's in your bag for the hospital??

  • Aside from what you have, I'm bring a few jumbo size pads in case I don't like the ones they give at the hospital, extra underwear, socks with grippy bottoms, hair elastics and brush, a few breast pads and lanolin cream, baby book (so that they can put the little footprints in it), and some basic toiletries to help me feel normal again when they let me shower (good shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel). 

    Oh, and maybe 2 or 3 diapers, 2 receiving blankets (in case we need them in the car/going out to the car), and a travel pack of wipes.

  • Same as you. Just thought I'd add that with DS I brought a travel neck pillow (the U-shaped kind) and it was amazing during delivery! My OB and nurses were commenting on what a good idea it was. It offered perfect neck support and was great to have pp to prop DS up and take photos in front of me. (Boppy was just way too big!)
  • in addition to your list

    cell phone charger

    hair brush

    shower stuff

    robe

    a few extra outfits for baby (with DD we got her dressed in her own clothes every day)

    makeup (i was really glad i had it when i look back at pictures!)

    I'll wear the hospital gown when I'm in labor, you won't want to clean up your clothes from giving birth! 

    I also have coloring books and toys for my oldest in case she gets bored while she's visiting

  • I'm having a c-section so mine may be a little different.

    underwear / nursing bra

    Pretty sure that's about it. Not much to pack.

  • I wore the hospital's gown while in labor. You dont want to wear your own stuff, it will likely get disgusting/ruined.

    Im just C&P'ing my word doc, so sorry if its formatted wrong. I way over-packed last time (especially clothes), so this is a cut-down list. lmao.
