What’s in your hospital bag?

Question

I’m only half packed, I need to get some energy gels and coconut water in there. Also need to add some toiletries. So far I have:
Nursing nightdress
My own cute hospital gown
Laboring clothes (skirt and sports bra)
Nursing bras X2
Sports bra X2
Going home outfit for baby and me
What have you got?

Answer

Honestly I'm not packing a lot. People tend to overpack and not use any of their stuff. I'm definitely using what's avaliable at the hopital instead. For example, I'm not taking diapers or wipes because the hopital will have those ready

Answer

I packed a full on diaper bag for baby. My friend was saying hospitals don’t always provide everything you need here in Canada... they even tell you to bring a pack of diapers 🤪
