What did you have in your hospital bag?

Question

Hey ladies so I’m due in about 8 weeks and 4 days with my first baby boy, I’m not so sure if it’s to early to prepare my hospital bag but i just want it all ready just incase. As i don’t want to be rushing around on the day looking for stuff lol. (I have no idea what the hospital provides either). So i would like to know what everyone packed in there hospital bag especially the important things.

Answer

Each hospital is different so I wouldn’t rely on them for anything. I brought with me:
My pillow (they will have pillows but I wanted mine)
A thin blanket (same reason)
Clothes
Hair brush
Scrunchie
Tooth brush and paste
Face wash
Pads
Diapers
Clothes for the baby
Snacks
Phone cord
Good luck!

Answer

I’m from the U.K. so nothing is provided! 
I took the following for me:
Change of clothes 
Nursing pjs and robe
Wash things (toothbrush, toothpaste, body wash, towel, flip flops, shampoo and conditioner, deodorant etc.)
Maternity pads and disposal undies
Phone charger
Snacks 
Money for parking
For baby:
Newborn sleepsuits
Newborn vests
0-3 sleepsuits
0-3 vests
Going home outfit (didn’t use this as sleepsuits were easier)
Scratch mits, hats, bibs 
Blankets
Nappies and wipes
Muslin cloths 
Empty bag for dirty clothes 
I think that’s about everything

Answer

It’s not too early! I had my first two weeks early so I was happy to be packed and ready. I wayyyy over packed. My hospital provided mesh undies for me and all the stuff you need down there after birth. They also provided diapers for baby. She only needed an outfit to go home. Here’s the things I actually used. 
Phone chargers
Chapstick 
Shampoo/conditioner/body wash/toothbrush-paste/deodorant/mascara/brush 
Going home outfit for baby 
Clothes and pjs for hubby 
One outfit for me 
Every hospital is different so call and see what they have for you. Like I brought a ton of snacks for my husband cus when my friend had her baby her hospital didn’t provide food to anyone but the mom. Mine provided 3 meals a day for mom and dad so that extra stuff I didn’t need. Also I wished I’d packed more for my hubby. I packed him one outfit and pjs and ended up being in the hospital for four days so he had to go home and get more clothes.
