Last minute items?

Question

So this weekend me and my boyfriend decided it is time to start getting everything cleaned and set up for baby. With Thanksgiving comming up, everything is moving so fast. October literally did a drive by it seems lol! I was wondering though considering I will be a FTM, what items should I bring with me to hospital? What are some last minute things I may need? Pads, etc things of that nature? Hemmroid cream? Im prepared for baby, but just dawned on me, what do I need for me? If that makes sense. Thank you in advance!

Answer

I would find out what’s provided at the hospital. I’m just bring clothes and toiletries I do have pads for after but that’s it. Last pregnancy I stoped bleeding with in a week and I never even used all the stuff I got for postpartum not even the nipple cream. So I’m not getting anything this time. If I need something I’ll have my husband run errands for me my mother in law and mother is also going to be in town so they’ll get anything I need also. I’m sure I won’t be that lucky this time around.

Answer

I'm a ftm too, due 1st dec so I may not be the most reliable to tell you what to take but I can tell you what I've packed lol... also I'm in the UK so they provide absolutely nothing.
Disposable knickers
Massive sanitary towels
Tucks medicated pads
Perineal spray ointment thing
Nipple cream and breast pads
Some snacks and a water bottle
Button down nightie (+ another for labour)
Hair grips
Lip balm 
Deodorant 
Dry shampoo 
Nursing bra
Flip flops
Dark towel
Loose clothes for coming home (oversized jumper and leggings) 
Hope that helps  - sounds a lot but doesn't take up a lot of space as it's mostly little stuff

Answer

The hospital provides you with so much. You really don’t need to take much besides clothes for you and baby. Toiletries, slippers, flip flops for shower, phone charger and robe or comfy gown.

Answer

I’d find out what they have for you there and how long typical hospital stays are there. For example: my hospital is a 24hr stay with a natural vaginal delivery.
Also if you are close to the hospital, you can also send someone to grab something more or less. 
I had my first son last year and only took an extra set of clothes, toothbrush and toothpaste, charger, chapstick and slipper socks. They gave me underwear, pads, peri bottle and a prescription for colace.
