Hospital Bag?? Needs

[nellebaby24]

What do I need for baby for her hospital bag.. and for myself I have 33 days left and thought I should start getting stuff ready.

A camera is a good idea, as well as a comb and if you want, makeup

After experience, I only needed a change of clothes to go home in(comfortable, maternity clothes , you'll be sore and bigger than you expect lol) clothes for baby(take newborn and 0-3 just in case the baby doesn't fit in the newborn size), a blanket to take baby home with. You will want a comfy pillow. I can't sleep without my own pillow. I had a short labor, so didn't need anything to keep my mind occupied. I don't think I could have concentrated on it even if I tried.

I was just trying to help and give you ideas on what to take as you asked, didnt mean anything by it. Just got it of baby center site and thought it might help give u a rough idea.

That's a little too much and I'm not breastfeeding

Talk to your doctor about what the hospital gives you first. I wouldn't wear my own nightgown unless you aren't worried about getting blood on it. Most hospitals provide you with disposable panties and pads. You really don't need alot unless you have a planned c section. But things do happen I had a high fever so I had to stay an extra 2 nights. I also don't feel the need to take things like shampoo because you aren't there long enough to shower I for one only got up to pee I wasn't in any shape to shower...just my opinion.
