What are you taking to the hospital?

Question

Can I see a picture of all the stuff you're taking to the hospital? I have my bags sitting here and it looks like too much but it's not even close to everything I see on lists of stuff to take. What does your hospital stash look like? I don't know how to downsize!

Answer

Take whatever you want. Better to be over packed than to be mid-labor and want something but not have it

Answer

Only thing I'm bringing is camera, toothbrush/paste, hair brush, extension cord, phone charger, slippers and an outfit for me to come home in. I know my son will be in the nicu already so I don't have to bring an outfit for him.

Answer

Extension cord flip flops nipple shield - along with what the others said

Answer

I don't have a picture but.... take plenty of underwear.. big comfy underwear that can fit a truck sized pad in them. Take a few sleep outfits. You really never know how long you'll be there. I had to stay a few extra days with my little man due to jaundice. I brought a computer with me and some movies. Not necessary but hey its a long process and I needed entertainment. Bring socks and or slippers for walking around in. Of course baby items.. couple outfits, car seat.. they will normally provide diapers and wipes while you are there. I brought my breast pump as well to try to induce my milk to come in. Tooth brush, hair brush, makeup?? If you use specific soap/shampoo. You will want to shower once labor is over..believe me. And the family camera :) that's all I can think of right now. Phone charger!!
