Hospital bag

[pregnantchelsea]

Any experienced mothers opinion on what I should pack in my hospital bag for delivery would be greatly appreciated!

[bricegurl74]

I didn't pack one... I would up going in labor before i ever got around to packing one. U really just need deotoarant and a hairbrush. And 2 changes of clothes for yourself.. Swear pants loose shirt. For baby the first outfit he or she wears home. U need a few pair of booties/socks for the baby.. While y'all are in hospital. And a hat or 2 for the baby. Everything else is provided.

For me:
Pj's that allow easy acces for breastfeeding (I took a nursing tank that had a built in bra
Under garments (nursing bra if you are gonna nurse)
Slippers
Travel toiletries i.e.
Basic makeup (if you want)
Go home outfit

Baby:
Blanket
Onesie
Pj's/outfit
Car seat

Spouse/partner
Change of clothes
Pj's
Travel toiletries
Cash for food

Ask the hospital you're delivering at what you need for spouse to sleep there. Mine provided my husband with blankets, pillows and a bed along with 3 meals a day for my 2 day recovery.

All we took to the delivery room (my hospital uses two rooms one to deliver and one for recovery)
Snacks for hubby
Something for hubby to do if I  napped or wanted him quiet
Pj's for me
Change of clothes for him

Phone charger/camera
