Packing Your Hospital Bag
Packing your hospital bag while pregnant is definitely overwhelming. You're thinking about so many things like I'm about to be a mom, how will labor be, when is my baby coming, is the nursery perfect, am I missing anything, and the worries go on.
Once you hit that 37 week marker, you should have you bag ready to go. A good size bag to bring is a tiny luggage. The wheels are convenient to pull around if in case you will be headed to the hospital alone.
Things For Mommy To Be
1. Pjs- preferably nightgowns. pj pants will be uncomfortable.
2. Robe
3. track suit
4. tank tops
5. sports bra
6. cotton underwear
7. makeup
8. soap, facial wipes, shampoo/conditioner (optional: if you don't think you will wash your hair but after all that pushing you will be sweaty and be dying to wash it)
9. hair iron/dryer (optional: for if you wash your hair)
10. camera
11. breast pads (optional)
12. nipple cream (optional)
13. sandals, slippers, sneakers, socks
Things For Baby
1. going home outfit (size 3 months)
2. socks
3. hat
4. mittens

While at the hospital ask more of:
1. the blue booger sucker- you will not find any one like it
2. pacifiers- they are the best. not even babies r us sells it
3. tucks- for mommy recovery
4. burp cloths- always needed
5. diapers- can never have too many
6. disposable bottles/nipples for breastfeeding
7. wipes- good for diaper bag
8.magic paste- best diaper rash cream ever
9. formula
10. pads- for mommy recovery
I literally would ask for double or say I lost it or need more.
Do not be shy to ask. They have a lot!!!!!
and plus the nurses are there to help and assist you and your baby.
I would stock up in a bag and have my family take it home.
Be smart! Do the same.
by the way, the best diaper bags are Kipling. They are spacious, affordable, and washable.
