How about some reading material or music player? For my bag I also packed my own pads (hospitals have thick ones only I believe) and nursing pads too. I also packed bibs for my baby and change for DH just in case vending machine was nearby. Some people like their own pillows but I'm sure we can ask for more if you need them.
Yes - I need to pack some depends (lol) that is what i am going to use instead of the hospital pads- my sister and sis in law swear that they were more comfortable and they felt "cleaner" reading and music is a good idea too! Thanks!~
im definitely taking nursing pads and my own pads. those "always" ones have some new brand that are supposed to be good for overnight. Hate the whale ones the hospital gives you.
nursing bra too. I dont want to be leaking everywhere.
I'll probably have DH take his laptop so I can play games or whatever if I want to when in labor.

Depends....I've headHead and face reconstruction Head injury Head lice Indications of head injury Radial head injury of those as well......I'm packing my ipod too......Something to distract me....I also read that you should pack 2 bags....one for Labor and DeliveryC-section Delivery presentations Infant care following delivery (chapstick, mints, socks, underwear, toothbrush, etc) and then one for postpartum....that way you only have to carry the small bag in when you go and your partner can get the bigger one later......
