Hospital Bag?

Question

What things do I need in a hospital bag?  FTM and 34w 2d, better get it put together soon, so just curious what you all put in?

Answer

One thing in particular I will pack will be a small personal fan. I tend to run very warm and feel grumpy or even sick if I’m too warm, wouldn’t want that during labor!

Answer

Your own pillows - the hospital ones are awful!

Answer

Other ideas: robe and slippers. Maternity/ nursing night gown to change into after birth and cleaning up. Toiletries. Extra long phone charger or portable battery pack. DVDs (the hospital room I’ll get has a tv and DVD player). Snacks for husband and me for before or after birth.

Answer

I have slippers, flip flops, nursing bra and nursing top, yoga pants, charger, Depends, going home outfit, toiletries, robe, socks for delivery.

Answer

This is our list, Troy is my husband (his list is pretty much all of OUR stuff), Liam is baby
You don’t actually need all of this. The hospital provides you a lot of things. But hopefully you’ll get some ideas?

Answer

My best advice, think of everyone. I packed a bag for me, my husband, my two year old, and the new baby. 
Toiletries
Chargers
Extra clothes
Tablet
Snacks
Robe and socks
Going home outfit for baby
The hospital will provide a lot.

Answer

I can only see Shawnie’s comment, so in addition to hers, not sure if this has been mentioned. 
A hand-held fan which also has a misting spray component. I’m all about air flow not air con, so we have one and a spare of those packed for when I’m feeling breathless during labour and just need some ‘fresh’ air on my face!
A spray bottle to spray my vulva with water while urinating after giving birth, so it doesn’t sting. 
Giant undies in case I end up having a Caesar and my usual hipster ones would sit across the scar. And also to accommodate the maternity pads. 
Postpartum compression shorts to tuck everything in 😂 
Also specific snacks, because I’ve had HG the whole time and may not stomach what they have on offer.
A 2m phone charging cord in case the outlet is somewhere weird.
Our own pillows!!! Our hospital is a 4-day stay for a non-complicated vaginal birth and 5+ for a Caesar. 
Everything else I just thought what would I take for a weekend away - basic toiletries, jammies, robe, non-slip enclosed shoes for walking the corridors, an outfit to go home in.
