What to pack for hospital?

Question

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and I’m a first time mom. I’m not planning to pack until around 34 weeks but what are some essential stuff to pack for the hospital that I will actually use for me, baby and my husband? I already have tooth brushes and stuff like that. TIA!

Answer

All i took for 4 days:
Outfit for me to leave in
Outfit for baby to leave in
Car seat
Nursing bra
Change of clothes and pjs for dad
Extra hair ties and chapstick
Phone charger (get one of the 10 ft long ones. Most of the plugs around your bed will be for medical equipment, bot you)
Hospital provided all hygiene needs (toothbrush/paste, shampoo and conditioner, lotion, soap, etc) all sleeping and bathing needs (towels, pillows, blankets, etc) and all baby needs (diapers, wipes, blankets, shirt). Call your hospital ahead of time to see what they provide for you before packing.

Answer

If you plan on wearing contacts, bring comfort drops and your glasses! Hospital air is horribly dry.

Answer

I am wondering this myself. I looked up hospital bag checklists on Pinterest but they seem excessive. Probably reusable water bottle, snacks for your support person (and you if the doctor allows), a nightgown or pjs. One thing that seemed like a good tip was those heavy duty incontinence underwear (yeah adult diapers), because apparently stuff will keep coming out after birth. The hospital might have that kind of stuff though, so you should ask your doctor if they have it or you should bring it. I plan to get some to keep at the house either way
