Have you packed your hospital bags yet?

Question

What is the one item you would recommend taking?

Answer

File folder for all your paperwork 💕

Answer

One thing the lady in our baby classes mentioned was swim shorts for dad. Most mommas want to take hot showers to help with the pain and it’s good if dad can go in with her and rub her back, help support her etc. They said it’s fine for mom to be naked but dad should have pants on lol 
Obviously not my #1 item but just one I haven’t seen mentioned much.

Answer

I’ve picked out the baby’s hat, mittens and outfit and I’ve also put my robe, 3 pajama outfits, adult diapers in my bag, travel toothbrush and toothpaste but everything else has to be packed the day of. Lol I made a checklist so we don’t forget our blankets and a pillow for my hubby.

Answer

2 items that I’m bringing that I don’t always see on other people’s lists are a breastfeeding pillow and slipper socks (because hospitals are ALWAYS cold).

Answer

I know you said one thing but I'm going to say three. 1. Eye mask. My hospital had runner lights that you couldn't turn off because of some hospital policy about pitch black rooms. I was so happy to have my mask. 2. Extension cord. I had a long phone charger, but it wasn't long enough so it was a good thing I brought an extension cord so it could reach almost anywhere. 3. My big reusable water bottle. They have bottle fill stations at my hospital so I could just fill up my 32oz bottle and be set for a while. I was so thirsty and those little pink jugs just didn't cut it for me. 
Good luck to everyone!

Answer

I’ve ordered everything and it’s here, I just have to put it all in a bag!

Answer

Haven’t started mines or babies because don’t know what to put in it! Help??? First time mom.

Answer

I barely used what I brought last time, but toiletries are a given. I also like to suggest a fire stick. This is awesome to just have in the room before and after baby as background and for distraction.

Answer

Moisturiser and chapstick, the aircon being so cold will dry your skin out and can make you feel uncomfortable

Answer

Normally I would be packed by now (35wks), but I don’t have to this time around! I’m having a home birth. I am almost completely prepped and ready to welcome baby. I just need to clean my bathroom really good and pick up a few hotspots in the bedroom!
