what to pack

[kavondrea_mother]

Im a first time mom and i have no idea what to pack for my bag or the babies i need help

I forgot my toothbrush the morning I was induced (5am freak out) worst mistake ever. You want that trust me. For baby, you really don't need anything except maybe a cute outfit for pics and what not. You should bring general hygiene items for you and spouse. A change of clothes for your spouse and a going home outfit for you. I suggest a dress of some sort. Take snacks!! Once you get your epidural you can't eat. Also if you're induced, you can't Eat after you're induced.

I just had my baby last Wednesday and this was my experience.

I have a hospital bag list in my journals.

You might want to bring your own pads.   I use the overnight thin pads.  The ones hospitals provide are usually bulky and uncomfortable.   Just a thought.  I am having my fourth girl so it is kinda routine.

Very large pants.  Lol you don't just shrink right up and you will be very tender.  I had to go home in my husband's basketball shorts lol.
