What do I really need to pack in my hospital bag?

Question

I will be 26 weeks on Sunday, and I'm curious to know when I should pack my bag but also what to pack? I've looked on Pinterest but I want your opinions ladies!

Answer

This is my list. This is also my second baby and I'm aiming for a natural birth so some stuff might not work for you. But it's pretty basic.

Answer

The one thing I forgot with my first was extra hair ties and lip balm. I didn't wear any of the clothes I bought with me until the day I was discharged and then it was a tee shirt and a pair of hubby's sweatpants. Shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, tooth brush, toothpaste, hair brush, possibly extra underwear if your not okay with the mesh ones there. Most of my time spent after the birth was sleeping and holding my little. I didn't shower till my discharge day(sounds gross I know but I had a wet tap with my epidural and couldn't stand up), and was in a robe or hospital gown all the time, plus with all the bleeding I wouldn't want to ruin my clothes. Oh and breast pads! Because no matter how you plan to feed, you will leak. Not sure if I'm forgetting anything.

Answer

Pinterest has some lists that think of it all
