Things you Wish you remembered to pack in hospital bag for birth?

Question

Or things that you are REALLY glad you remembered to pack? And goooo....😄

Answer

I wish I could pack my own stuff when I went to the hospital to have my first daughter( which I didn't know she was coming) I went to the hospital with a severe abdominal pain. Little did I know that my princess couldn't wait for her full nine month arival. I had her at 30 weeks. (Placental abruption). She's almost 15 months now and has been nothing but a blessing and joy to us. Now trying for my second one....🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Answer

Clippies to pull my bangs out of my eyes and maxi dresses. Hospital provided everything else I could possibly need or want!

Answer

I wish I had brought my own disposable undies and pads. I knew the hospital provides though so I didn't bring my own.
I am glad I brought a phone charger, enough change for hubby  (and me) to get vending machine snacks, and chapstick and powder. Whenever we were snapping pictures I would quickly put powder and chapstick  on my face to look "normal", lol.
Oh, and if you have a baby book bring that as well. Then you can have the hospital staff do the hand and footprints for you :)

Answer

Bring your own undies! Those mesh hospital undies are just awful. Buy 2 cheap packs a size or two bigger than what you wear (room for pads) and don't be afraid to just throw those suckers out! Also I'd bring my own pads. The hospital pads are so thick you can't comfortable close your legs haha.

Answer

Im so glad I packed a few different sized onsies for my daughter! I was told she was going to be a big baby measuring nearly 8lb at 34 weeks so I brought some 0-3, newborn and tiny baby. She was long but super skinny when born and 6lb and the bigger sizes drowned her.

Answer

I didn't know my daughter was coming until we went to the hospital. My husband grabbed the wrong bag. Which had no clothes for our daughter and I. So I had to send him back. Also wish I would of had a big huge bag of beef jerky

Answer

Chap stick and lotion, the room was cold and dry. Also, I bright sugar free mints to suck on during labor.

Answer

My hospital surprisingly had really comfortable undies and pads! I'm glad I brought my phone charger and my makeup but I just wish I had brought snacks!! The free snacks and food they had for us was all junk food and fried food or sandwiches that were mostly bread:/ after months of indulging while pregnant and getting huge all I wanted was healthy food Lolol

Answer

So glad I packed my phone charger, on a ward with loads of newborns all taking in turns to cry the sleepless nights could have been very boring! Although I mainly used it to take tons of pictures of my little girl! Wish I had packed....snacks! I was so hungry and could have done with some chocolate and fizzy pop to give me an energy boost now and again!
