I've already packed most of my hospital bag at 25 weeks lol 😂 Things I put:* Robe*Two comfy nursing dresses*Comfy pair of Underwear to go home in*Pads (the ones they give you at the hospital are HUGE and made my hospital underwear sink down when I wore a dress)*Extra long charger!!!!!*Flip Flops for shower*Slippers for walking around room*Travel Sized Toilettries (Two Toothbrushes, toothpaste, lotion, chapstick, shampoo and conditioner, Floss, Razor, Deodorant, Nasal Spray)*Clothes for husband since I doubt he will be able to pack things when we are in a hurry lol (extra toothbrush is for him)*SnacksFor baby, I just decided to bring her diaper bag with all of her stuff so that it doesn't get mixed up with my things. The most important things I am bringing in it are:*Going Home Outfit (one sized newborn, one sized 0-3)*Mittens*Socks*Light Blanket*Burp Cloth*Nose Sucker*Extra Diapers

All I can say is don’t forget your chapstick! It’s so dry in the hospital!

FTM too... the only thing I’ve done is order the infamous “really long cell phone charger cord.” Best $10 on Amazon ever. I’m using it now on the couch. I’m a little superstitious that if I pack my bag things will get set into motion 🙈 so I won’t really pack until 30-32 weeks (still pretty early).

Long phone charger is a must!!! Bonus points if it’s one of the super fast charge ones!

I feel the same on on being superstitious. Good call on the long phone charger.

My hospital has a list of what to bring. You might wanna check L&D department on your hospital website to see if they have one. I haven’t packed anything yet. Basically just planning to bring whatever I would normally take for any overnight trip, plus nursing pillow.

Nursing bra and pj pants are what i lived in at the hospital. My first could not stay warm so LO spent most of the time on my chest under blankets, they even put LO in a warming cart. So clothes would have been useless for me. Body lotion- the shakes dried out my skin soooo bad that itched like crazyToiletries Flip flops or slippersA baby outfit or 2 Pacifier A pillowThat was all i needed. Might bring some snacks because covid your partner can’t leave. Hospital provided underwear, tucks wipes, ice packs, diapers, wipes, swaddling blanket.

I ordered a robe to take with me because I figured it’ll be more comfortable and easy access for baby and nurses, and also the perineal cooling pads by Frida Mom and I went ahead and got some of the depends silhouette disposable underwear because they also just seem more comfortable to be in after giving birth.
