So what did I do? What I've done 1000x. I reached out to my friends, who luckily wrote a whole list for me, read other blogs and checked with my hospital. I think I've gathered some of the necessities and some of those non-necessities (like a great face cream) that'll just make me feel a bit more at ease and like myself.
Since I have no idea what 2 days is going to be like in the hospital, I may have over-packed.
Below you'll find a printable checklist to help you prepare! What did you pack in your hospital bag?
Insurance Card: The non-fun part of going to a hospital. Make sure it's in your wallet, hospital bag or wherever you won't forget.
Slippers & Socks: I love these Lemon slippers, they have a nice bottom. Plus, I LOVE these aloe socks. They're to be used post-workout, but hey, labor is a workout!
Pillow: I'm partial to my good pillow.
Snacks: Remember how hungry you were pregnant? I can only imagine that is worse after labor.
Iphone charger and Cell phone: Duh. My gf told me to buy an extra long charger so you make sure it reaches your hospital bed.
Toiletries: These are the things you may not need but will make you feel better.
- Brush
- Hair ties
- Lotion
- Lip Balm
- Makeup
- Shampoo & Conditioner
- Contacts and glasses
- Towel
Robe: I bought this super cute one from Milkmaid Goods and baby girl has a matching swaddle because CUTE!
Undies: It was time to buy undies other than thongs. Cue, dark colored Hanes. I bought these super soft ones from Target
Nursing Bra: I wish I would have bought these bras 6 months ago! They are so soft and comfortable and will be perfect for sore nursing boobs.
Nursing cover: Just in case you have visitors. I bought this from Milkmaid Goods too.
Going home outfit: Keep it comfy and loose (you'll be wearing a pad).
The Necessities: - Nursing Pads: I brought a few disposable and non-disposable liners
- Nipple Cream: Lansinoh.
- Pads or disposable undies: They provide these but feel free to bring your own if you're more comfortable with that.
FOR BABY //
3 weeks to go everyone! Let the countdown begin!
Tell me, what did you put in your hospital bag?
Going home outfit: Baby girl has the cutest little onesie. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but this will be the first time you take your baby home. I wanted it to be memorable.
Carseat: Most hospitals will check your car seat before you leave to make sure it's perfect. I love my carseat.
Onesies: From what I'm heard baby is in her diaper and a swaddle most of the time. I threw in a few extra onesies just in case.
Swaddle: I brought a matching one to me and just another muslin blanket.
Boppy: For breastfeeding! Let the nurses help you!
Pacifier: Just in case.
Burp Cloths: I'm using this so I can bring them home to the dogs before we come home. I heard it helps with the transition.
Tell me, what did you put in your hospital bag?
Wow, you really have a nice checklist for the things that you must have when you are preparing for your baby's delivery.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm probably going to overpack as well since this is my first baby! I love the checklist you made, super handy! xo, Brittany Nicole | www.theblistblog.com
