So many ask and are not sure so heres a list to give u an idea of what u might need.

Must-Haves:

Insurance info, hospital forms and [birth plan (if you have one)

2-3 pairs of warm, nonskid socks that can get ruined (for walking the halls before and after [labor)

A warm robe and gown you don’t mind sacrificing to the cause

2 [maternity bras — no underwire — and nursing pads (whether or not you plan to nurse, you’ll appreciate the support and leak-protection), underwear

Lip balm (hospitals are very dry)

Toiletries and personal items — hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, face wash, makeup (as if), shampoo, conditioner, lotion, contact lens case and solution (remember, travel-sized products are your friends)

Eyeglasses (only if needed)

Headband or ponytail holder (avoid clips — they’ll probably poke you)

Sugar-free hard candy or lozenges to keep your mouth moist during labor (candy with sugar will make you thirsty)

Pen and paper

Lots of change for the vending machines and non-perishable snacks (you’ll probably be hungry after labor, and the hospital cafeteria could be closed)

Cell phone and charger, phone numbers of people to call after birth, prepaid calling card (if your hospital doesn’t allow cell phones)

Camera, film or extra memory card, battery or charger

A gym bag packed with going home outfit for yourself and basic hygiene products for your partner

What to Bring For Baby:

Approved car seat

A coming-home outfit, sleeper, socks, tshirts

Warm blankets (for the ride home)

Outdoor gear like a snowsuit and hat, as seasonally appropriate (remember, babies are extra sensitive to cold)
