What are you bringing?

Question

I’ve been procrastinating packing my hospital bag😅 What are y’all packing in yours?
So far all I have is a nursing nightgown and Always brand adult diapers😂

Answer

I am not sure where you're located, but in the states the hospital will provide you with plenty of baby diapers and wipes and some health care essentials for baby, maternity pads and underwear and tucks pads, numbing spray, and a squeeze bottle to use to spray yourself with water after you pee.
You need to bring a couple of days worth of comfortable loose clothing for you and dad, your toiletries like deodorant, brush, hair ties, chapstick, stuff to use in the shower, and makeup if you want to look good in photos. I didn't bring makeup with my first and I look like hell in all the pictures. Also bring your phone charger and a long cord for it. Something to wear home also.
For baby, bring a pacifier, some outfits,carseat, going home outfit, a few pairs of pajamas, hats, and blankets.

Answer

My hospital provides all the post partum supplies for me and baby. 
For me: something to wear home, an adult diaper for the ride home (I was nervous with my first that I was going to bleed everywhere lol); my pillow, charger, toiletries 
For baby: going home outfit (I couldn’t decide so I packed 3 🤣), swaddle for announcement photo, boppy pillow, pacifier. 
That’s it lol

Answer

Comfy shirt and pants 
Robe/slippers 
Toiletries -toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, little body wash thing, flip flops
Maybe a couple of heavy pads 
Headband/hair tie 
Car seat
Baby blanket
Going home outfit for baby
little jacket thing for baby
Phone charger

Answer

Toiletries- don't forget hair ties, chapstick, ect (for husband too)
2 outfits for me - one to wear when I'm sick of the gown and another when I go home
My robe
1 outfit for husband - he doesn't think he needs more (I still packed double socks/underwear for him🤦😅)
For baby: 3-4 white onesies long and short sleeve, 2 pairs of pants, one swaddle gown thing (for photos), two muslin swaddles, 2 pair of socks, going home outfit, and a hat. 
Miscellaneous: chargers, projector mood light, my purse, my own blanket, an empty bag rolled up (to bring home everything they give you in the room)and carseat of course. 
Everything I have besides the blanket, pillow, and carseat should fit in one roller carry on size bag! So not much to remember when having to go to the hospital.

Answer

The hospital I delivered at last time (and will again with this baby) provided a lot of the postpartum supplies, like the peri bottle, pads, etc. and they supplied diapers/wipes and formula if you’re formula feeding. I overpacked last time so I tried to cut down a lot this time. 
My bag: loose comfy clothes, robe, basic toiletries (my hospital provided bath soap last time but I had no desire to shower after my C-section bc I was in so much pain), makeup bag, long phone charger, tablet. I think closer to time I’ll pack a pillow for me or the boppy pillow, blanket for me and a bath towel bc the hospitals is puny. I’m also going to tell my hubby to pack a blanket and pillow for him too. 
Baby bag: pacifier, a couple of outfits (I packed 2 nb and 2 3m outfits with a hat and bow), swaddle and that’s about it I think. And the car seat!
