what to pack for yourself (moms)

Question

This is my first pregnancy and I need to get my hospital bag packed for when the baby comes, need advice on what to pack for myself and my husband for the hospital and what not to pack! Any advice is needed! Thank you!

Answer

Pack lots of maternity pads, clothes for the baby (but not to much, your family can always bring more). Pack snacks and books, phone charger, usual toiletries. Make sure you fon't forget nappies and baby wipes. Spare pants are a must.

Answer

I brought

Super comfy clothes 
Toiletries
Slippers (did not want to be bending around dealing with shoes)
Book
Cell phone charger
Makeup
2 new born outfits
Baby blanket
Clothes for hubby
I didn't pack any pads because the hospital provided all after care needed including sending me home with like 15 of the biggest pads i have ever seen in my life lol!! The hospital also gave us a gift bag it was diaper bag with a bag of pampers newborn diapers wipes and a free can of formula.  I dont knownif your hospital does all this but if you ask when you tour the birthing facility they will tell you. Congrats and good luck!

Answer

I just got home. The hospital supplied mesh underwear which I loved (took a bunch home ). I didn't plan for a c section but I got one so plan for either.  I brought my own suppositories, medications, prenatals  (the hospital will provide but charge). As part of delivery they have pads (they are big so if you bleed alot great, if you have a favorite brand, bring your own). I wore same outfit home that I did there. You wear the gown or nothing at all after delivery. Baby and I were basically naked the whole time. I brought toiletries.

Answer

I'm in the same spot (not knowing what to take) but so far, what I have in my bag is:

1. Depends. (I would never trust a simple pad to postpartum) bleeding. Ew. 
2. Toiletries (i went and bought a whole new set of everything so I don't have to pack anything. 
3. A night gown 
4. My diffuser and essential oils. 
5. Activities (coloring book, playdough, and some video games for me and hubby to enjoy the wait)
6. A bluetooth speaker, for music. 
7. Hemmoroid cream (never had one, just being prepared)

Thats it, so far!
