Am I forgetting anything??

Question

Is there anything I’m forgetting to pack?? Any of this stuff totally unnecessary? Thoughts ladies? Thanks 💛💛💛

Updated list. Also I would like to add that I’d rather be over prepared than under prepared since our hospital is in another town! Also snacks are a necessity since my SO is a diabetic. Thank you guys for your advice!

Answer

You aren’t going to need all of that.

Answer

Your list has nearly everything I brought if not less and I used it all lol. I think if I had a vaginal and didnt nedd a section I might not have. But it's always best to be over packed than under is how I see it. 🤷‍♀️

Answer

I think you have a good list and like other people said your Hospital will provide you with alot! I just have a recommendation that a nurse friend of mine (who has 2 kids) told me to get and they were super helpful! These Always Super Discreet Boutique padded underwear worked SO much better than the underwear/pad they gave me in the hospital! I didn't have to worry about leaking at all! Good luck mama!

Answer

Dnt let any one tell you that you won’t use all that I packed all the same stuff plus snacks and used it all I was in induction 25 hours. So went in Friday , had my son Saturday was there Sunday and left Monday ! SoOo I used all my stuff

Answer

For my 4th repeat c section I used the hospital's pillows and grippy socks I brought my own depends not under wear because I always leak through

Answer

Truthfully I’d cut the tanks, bras, underwear in half. I ended up at the hospital after attempting birthing at a birth center and I had like none of this and didn’t mind. I stayed in the hospital gowns the whole time. I will bring my own gown and robe this second time but most of the items on your list really aren’t needed.

Answer

It’s always good to have spare underwear and pads but believe me after wearing the amazing underwear and pads they give you at the hospital you won’t want anything else 😅 make sure to ask for extra to take home. And idk about you but I wasn’t worried about makeup after delivery. That was just me though

Answer

I don’t think you need nursing bras, breast pump , I don’t think baby needs swaddles, sleepers, boppy. Just 1 outfit to go home. 
All I brought to the hospital was, pj pants to go home in a tank and sweater, my charger , brush, tooth brush and paste. For the baby I just brought 1 footie pajama, a hat, a blanket and car seat. Hospital provides everything for the baby, and pads for you. Your most likely gonna be at the hospital  for 24 hours.

Answer

Bring your own pillow! Hospital pillows suck!

Answer

I would probably cut things to just 1... 
I personally never packed my husband a bag, I knew he would go home to shower. And we planned for my mom to stay the first night with me. I ended up having an emergency c section and I stayed in the gowns because I didn’t wanna stain my clothes.. lol.. I’d rather dirty their stuff.... 
All I packed was my outfit to go home, babys outfit to go home, 2 blankets, hair ties, brush (which I never touched), toothbrush/paste. Lotion cause my sensitive skin. I was there 3 days and it’s all I used.
