Packing my hospital bag. What am I forgetting?

I packed a diaper bag with 3 blankets (the hospital ones are itchy, these are soft and smell like me), a coming home outfit for baby, 1 onesie, 2 nightgowns (for me), a pair of sweatpants, underwear, a nursing bra, and a pack of nursing pads.

Am I forgetting anything?


Your toiletries. a going home outfit for you as well (think 6 months pregnant). Things to keep you busy just in case long labor. And I recommend bringing a pillow from home, hospitals arent to comfy

Deoderant

A sweater

Socks

Diapers

Some babies are kept longer in the hospital maybe you can pack more for him.

nappies?

socks and chapstick..

Camera, make sure that the batteries are new or charged!

Otherwise you did good, you dont need alot as the hospital will supply most of what you need!

Congrats!

Nappies

Magazine or cards (things to occupy you if your labour is slow or after when your baby is sleeping and you can't!)

Phone or change for the phone.

Maternity pads (there is bleeding and hospital ones are uncomfortable)

Coat for baby when going home incase it's a cold day

Couple vests for baby?

Scratch mits (some babies are born with nails)

Hat for baby (babies loose most of their body heat from their heads)

Slippers

Dressing gown

Toiletries incase you are in over night

Hope that helped xxx

As a mom that had an emergency c-section for her first, please bring something that isn't tight or fasten around the waist. I am very happy that I had a denim flowy jumper to wear.

Everyone says don't forget a pretty nightgown. I never wore it because I didn't want it to get yucky. The hospital ones worked just fine, and I wasn't there long enough to care. LOL

Make sure you pack your own soaps/shampoo/toothbrush/paste etc

warm socks or your own slippers..you may also want your own house coat.

The hospital usually provides diapers for baby, but you might want to take a few of the brand you have at home in case you don't like the ones the hospital has.

Maxi pads!

Camera, munchies (hospital food usually sucks and you may be hungry at times other than mealtimes), slippers (hospital floors are cold), soother, disposable diapers and toiletries for you.

Make sure you bring Lots of panties that are cheap, or old, basically ones you dont care will get nasty. lol If you dont you will have to use the mesh ones the hospital has. ugh

A bottle of water with a squirty top for use when going to the loo after giving birth - trust me! Also tip for when you get home, tea tree oil in your bath is good for helping you heal and fight any infection

Bathrobe, maxi pads, slippers, socks, soap, lotion, deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste and for the baby mittens and socks/booties.
