What are you packing in your hospital bag?

Question

This is my 3rd pregnancy and I’ve never actually packed a hospital bag ahead of time. It’s always I go into labor and then I throw stuff in a bag lol. My due date isn’t till Dec 13th, I’m dilated to a 3. So with that said, I’m going to actually pack my bag this week. 
What’s your MUST HAVES for your hospital bag?

Answer

I packed going home clothes for both, toiletries, and ..that's about it. Throw my charger in last minute and call it a day. Maybe some snacks too.

Answer

I have to say one thing that I can not go without is some type of robe or breastfeeding gown. They were comfortable and my hospitals gowns are way oversized and after having a baby and all that I didn’t want a regular tshirt on. It’s also way easier breastfeeding that way bc you don’t have a pile of your shirt in your face while trying to breastfeed. 
Something else I’ll be adding thing time that I didn’t have last time are those diaper underwear things. The depends or whatever. Bc I hate the huge pads and always bled out of them anyways bc they moved around a lot. 
Other than that, just basic hygiene things. My hospital provides them but their shampoo is horrible and always makes my hair a mess🤣 my hospital also provides everything that baby needs. But I’m bringing baby some outfits and her own swaddles for pictures. If you aren’t sure what your hospital provides go to their website or call them!

Answer

I packed a few tank tops, 1 nursing bra, a pair of sleeping pants & a pair of leggings (I live in ohio the weather here is bipolar lol), I'm trying to find a nice/cheap robe but cant find anything I like & don't want to spend more than $20 on a robe. um, toothbrush/paste, body wash, gum, chapstick, lotion, snacks, fuzzy socks, i didnt pack underwear bc I just use the mesh kind they provide, they also provide pads. I packed breastpads bc my breasts leak so bad during labor & after lol, phone charger & tablet charger, tablet so I can watch movies (sometimes there isn't anything on tv that interest me), slippers, flip flops for the shower, 2 sleepers for baby to go home in bc it'll be chilly, mittens, baby socks, 1 burp cloth for the drive home, boppy pillow/boppy cover, qtips bc I'm weird & HAVE to clean out my ears daily lol baby blanket, carseat cover (for the cold) & carseat, oh & deodorant. I think* that's it. sounds like a lot but it's only 2 bookbags & just in case my SO can't leave to grab stuff due to rise in COVID numbers I would rather have a bit of extra than not enough. he still has to pack his bag but me & baby are ready.

Answer

I put in a robe for easy feeding. A coming home outfit for me and baby. Some swaddle blankets. Toiletries, flip flops/slippers, and phone charger. I’ve found that they have everything else.

Answer

I have a robe, some adult briefs because I hate those mesh panties, two nursing gowns, some witch hazel wipes and toiletries, my laptop because I have crazy school assignments I need to do and if I go anytime soon I guess I’ll be doing them in the hospital. Some face masks just in case. Non slip socks and slippers, wash cloth and towel. Nursing pads and breast milk storage bags. And of course going home clothes for me and baby. I think I’m going to get me some snacks too 😆.
