I have a diaper bag in my car, but I'm not bringing it into the hospital with me. Just my bag. I packed light because you don't stay long and I plan on washing everything when I get home.
Don't forget about camera and chargers!!!
Why do you pack a diaper back? I thought all hospitals provided for baby. The birthing center gives me everything for baby so I'm only packing a going home/picture outfit. My husband will bring a blanket on the day we go home along with the car seat.
Ok I will keep that in mind
The only thing I would add as ridiculous as it sounds is a little makeup. People come in and want photo after photo!!!!! With my second I broke every blood vessel in my face and I would have loved to be able to cover that up so some of my pictures I could display without all of that showing.
You ladies were very helpful. I have watched some YT videos last night and got some great ideas. I have to look into pinterest.
I swear by adult diapers. I saw so many people on pinterest recommending them so I tried it and they were amazing. Much better than the mesh panties the hospital gives. Protects your clothes from all the blood too.
Pinterest has amazing ideas with pics and helpful tips:)
