What will you pack in your hospital bag?

MissLMS · July 2011

I'm trying to pack mine this weekend to have ready since it looks like our baby boy will be a July baby.

It was only 2 years ago I gave birth to DD but honestly I can't remember what all I took last time.

Here's my list so far: 2 pair nightgowns or pjs, sleep bra, breastpads, gigantic postpartum underwear (didn't use them last time, but just in case of c-section.), maternity yoga pants and/or maternity dress for coming home, 2 newborn outfits for DS, newborn cap and socks, boppy, breastpump, birthing ball, phone chargers, laptop and charger, camera and charger, toiletries, flip flops for shower.....

Am I forgetting anything?

i would add some tums to your bag. just in case you've got some massive heartburn during labor.

i had it last time and it was so bad it made me vomit. BUT they wouldn't/couldn't give me anything bc you're not supposed to eat or whatever.

thankfully my labor nurse was awesome and got some from another nurse(like her personal tums) and gave me some. i'm definitely bringing my own this time!!

That list looks pretty good, I might add some lansinoh nipple cream.

^they gave me a tube of it at the hospital last time... which i was glad to get an extra tube bc that stuff is $$!

Someone posted this (link) the other day. Not sure if this list is too extensive but here you go!

My list is similar to yours minus the ball and stuff. I plan to bring my ipod touch to keep me entertained when needed and a cardigan or zip up sweatshirt.
