Hospital bag for you & Baby!?!

Question

Hey Mamas,
What is everyone packing in their bags for the hospital?!? Am I the only one that packed makeup & my hair straightener?!? Lol

Answer

I live so close to my hospital i feel like im bringing very few items.
Baby:
Two outfits, several receiving blankets, a soft blanket, a few diapers and a small pack of wipes.
Me: 
Basic toiletries, 2 nursing bras, 2 outfits, socks, phone charger, my pump for help by the lactation consultant.
Husband: 
Not sure. Leaving it up to him. 😂

Answer

My bag is already packed and ready to go. Baby # 5 here, and realized along the way that you do not use majority of what you may bring. Definitely no time or energy for hair and makeup to be done. Especially since your going to want to rest after pushing during birth, and nursing baby every 1.5-2  hours.  After the delivery of my 4th, I was only in the hospital for 24 hours. After birth, my hospital likes you to shower, so my bag includes..
My vagisil Ph balance vaginal wash
Sm bottle shampoo
Toothpaste/ toothbrush
Ponytail/ brush
Camera ( already charged battery)
Phone/ charger
1 nursing bra
1 nursing gown
1 maternity dress ( to go home in)
1 nursing shirt & pants ( just incase I bleed       out onto 1 outfit
3 pairs of maternity panties
Flipflops
Baby: 
2 onesies ( 1 long sleeve 1 short)
1 pair pants
2 pairs socks
Swaddle blanket
1 burp cloth

Answer

Mine is a little different  because i know im going in for a csection but i packed makeup last time and this time 😁 i didn't go crazy but i appreciated not looking like death in the photos my husband took when we had our daughter.  
I have my own water bottle, robe, loose dress, makeup, toiletries,  nonslip socks, shower shoes, nursing pads, postpartum belly binder,  camera,  few temp. appropriate outfits for baby, nursing pillow, my own pillow, mittens, hats, and swaddles. Our hospital provides diapers and postpartum pads so i dont have those.

Answer

For myself: 
3 comfy outfits
A sweater to wear home
2 nursing bras
Depends underwear
My regular toiletries
My quick makeup essentials
A robe
My slides
Extra hair ties and Bobby pins
Chapstick
Phone charger
For baby:
Going home outfit
2 sleep gowns
His plush blanket
One receiving blanket
One swaddle
2 diapers and a mini pack of wipes just for the drive home (as an in case lol). 
My husband:
Change of clothes 
Phone charger
Tablet 🤷🏻‍♀️ lol 
Im thankful to have everything fit in one bag. But I think im going to go through it again and take out anything I really don’t think I’ll need even tho my list is already pretty minimal. I’m also bringing some gatorades and snacks for after delivery, in case the cafeteria is closed. (We’re in Germany and a lot of fast food places are closed by like 11-12 so I’d rather not starve until then hahah).

Answer

Only makeup I'm bringing is to fill my eyebrows, cause I look like an alien without them. I bring it literally everywhere so it's not far fetched for me, and it's usually the only makeup I do. 
For myself I have an outfit to come home in, hairties, deodorant, travel toothbrush and toothpaste, dry shampoo, tiny shampoo and conditioner just in case I'm there for a while, my robe, slippers and socks. Oh and a water flavor thing like Mio, cause I'm so over water. Travel toothbrush/paste and deodorant for my boyfriend as well. We live 3 miles from the hospital, he can go home whenever he needs.
For baby I have 3 outfits, socks, headband, hat

Answer

I have my comfy clothes to come home in
-phone charger 
- my own pillow (not in my bag though) 
-Adult diapers to come home in because I leak out of the hospital pads the first few days. 
-make up bag
-hair ties, because my hair gets braided or put in a ponytail 
- socks
And snacks

I’m curious too!
