What am I missing ladies???

Answer

If your having a vaginal birth I recommend a heating pad. It feels really wonderful on postpartum aches and pains.

Answer

I ended up with an emergency c section and had to stay longer so wish I had more clothes with me. Also, you bleed a lot after the birth so get some cheap underwear so you don't ruin your own.

Answer

These are necessary but just in case:
Extra pillows, extra change for vending machines, pen and paper, maternity bras and undies, blow dryer, comfy bath towel.

Answer

All I used from my bag was my nursing bras, toiletries, blanket and going home outfit. For baby all I used was her going home outfit, blanket and car seat. The hospital provided everything else.

Answer

Sanitary pads for yourself

Answer

Is the going home outfit for you or baby? You will need one, but remember that you will go home looking pregnant still. I would suggest stretchy or loose pants and shirt. Also,  pads. The hospital should give you some, but if you don't like them, you always have a back up. The bleeding will be pretty intense. Nipple pads are a good idea. You might leak.

Answer

How far do you live from your hospital?

If it's close, you won't need much. Your SO can go home and get whatever else you need.

You won't need diapers or wipes for baby unless you have specific ones you want to use. Just their going home outfit, car seat, and a blanket to go on top if it's cold.

I'm bringing my nursing pillow and also some lavender essential oil and coconut water. Socks. Tennis balls in a sock for massage so my husbands hands don't die haha (I'm not getting an epidural so there will be lots of movement and massage IF everything is going well).
