What did you take in your “go bag”?

Question

Currently 35 and a half weeks pregnant and I’m starting to get things ready for the big day! I’ve been doing a lot of research on what to put in a go bag. I want to keep it as simple as possible, I don’t care about makeup or a hair dryer or a cute “coming home” outfit for myself (sweats all the way!). What did you ladies add in that you found you actually utilized?

Answer

One thing I forgot last time was like a nice body wash and chapstick. Someone brought me a little care package in the hospital and I was SO thankful to have that stuff for my first shower after delivery. I treated myself this time to some Burt’s Bees Body Wash, Lotion, Chapstick, and face wipes in my bag. I am also getting a plush blanket to bring so I am more comfortable and can wrap baby and I up in it when we do skin to skin! Of course then there are the other basics robe, slippers and/or comfy socks, hair bands, toiletries, night gowns so you don’t have to wear hospital gowns, your own pillow if you want etc!

Answer

I bring my own underwear and overnight thin pads I hate their gigantic pads and mesh underwear and I do not understand why people wear depends but to each their own I guess . I also bring a belly wrap it really helps everything to go back to where it was before baby . I also bring my own toiletries, travel size of course but body wash , shampoo ,conditioner , lotion , face wash , chapstick . Comfy clothes for me (nursing tanks and leggings)and one simple and comfy outfit for babe . I also bring a couple wrap shirts with the built in mittens for baby . And that’s about it .... my hospital provides everything for baby and they send us home with diapers and wipes and formula (if needed ) .

Answer

Socks and slippers and a robe
