[MorgannaBanana]

So although is early, I am a big planner and there's a chance my husband will be on an underway (mini deployment off the coast to maintain the ship before an actual deployment) when I go into labor... he is scheduled for a 2 week underway the week of my due date and the week after.


I am just curious what you all are bringing to the hospital with you... without him here to help with my scattered brained-ness I am afraid I will forget something so I would like to write down a list ahead of time! I don't want to be scrambling to make sure I didn't forget anything if I am home alone when I go into labor! Hahaha thanks fo your time and suggestions mommas! Xo

For the baby, the hospital should have everything you need, with the exception of of baby clothes. The only thing I am taking for the baby is the diaperbag and inside that I'm just going to put a couple outfits socks and the little booties I bought for her. For me on the other hand, I'm bringing a coloring book (to keep my mind at ease since I want to have a natural birth I read trying to keep your mind on other things helps a lot), a couple pair of pajama pants, loose fitting shirts, bathroom items like deodorant, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair ties, hair brush, makeup (if I feel like putting on lol), clean underwear/bras socks and easy slip on shoes. My fiance wants to bring the camera for pictures and the laptop in case I have to stay overnight he likes to play games on it. I'm also taking extra money. In case I happen to give birth at like 3 am and the cafeteria is closed (usually they have food set back for women who give birth late, but at my hospital I heard all they give you is a cold half sub and small amount of drink). IgI do give birth late, I'm going to make my fiance go to Rally's or steak and shake and get me something yummy :)

for me: maternity bras, underwear, pads, breast pads, toiletries, hair ties, camera, phone charger, some coins for vending machine, nighty, jumper, going home clothes, breath mints (for when midwife comes to do her late night checks lol, im having csection so can't get up to brush teeth when i want).

For baby: long outfit, cooler outfit, singlets, socks, blankets, nappies, wipes, bottle incase i can't breast feed, test packet of formula, baby bath wash and creams, beany

Lol i think that's everything but at the hospital im going to they don't provide anything so maybe look at what they will have there for u to use

Where are yall stationed? Hopefully your hubby can be there for the birth! Work ups can be pretty annoying! My husband is in the navy too! We are heading back to Virginia a few days after I have the baby. Back to sea duty!

My list is

Toiletries- travel size shampoo, conditioner soap, lotion, toothpaste tooth brush, a brush. 

Take flip flops so when u shower you don't step on tether hospital shower floor (eeewww) 

Book or magazine- labor may take long or u will have something to read while baby sleeps, or when they take him/her for some test. 

Make sure you take something comfortable to go home in! With my first I brought Pre baby jeans nobody told me I was gunna leave looking 5 months prego! I wore my maternity jeans back home :/ 

Take pads (thickest you can find) but if your hospital offers them just use there's an save yours lol 

Bibs- onsies- a blanket for the baby. and you can always take ur own blanket to feel more comfortable something plush or fleece, or your favorite pillow what ever makes you relaxed.

Camera, cam-recorder, charger for your cell.
