Aa
so close/hospital bag
I'm 37w4d & last night I started getting weird sharp pains down below & my contractions were getting stronger, lasted for a few hours then went away, but I figured I should really start packing my hospital bag. Lol. I feel like I packed too way! I should pack for at least four days right? This is all new to me, so any help would be great! :)
Lol basically. The best and worst vacation ever! Lol
Thank you! My hubby told me to pack like I was going on vacation. Lol.
Oh yeah! Extra change for vending machines.

I've heard you need to pack like you're having a C-Section just in case (hopefully you don't and you get to experience it naturally). I have to have C-Sections and this is what I pack::
3-4 changes of clothes for you, a couple of gowns things you don't mind getting messed up and things that fit when you were about 5 months pregnant. Underwear that go up to if not above your belly button (so if you do have a C-Section it doesn't run the staples) nursing bras or sports bras, something comfortable. Socks with nonskid bottoms, slippers. Toiletries, shampoo conditioner body wash, lotion, face wash, hair brush, extra pony tails/Bobby pins, hair sprat, makeup, toothbrush toothpaste, body spray/perfume.
Clothes for your partner/whoever may stay with you at hospital.
Snacks and drinks that don't have to be refrigerated (they can bring you ice), phone charger/phone, portable DVD player/laptop and charger, DVDs, book. Camera charger/batteries.
For baby you don't need much but I always brought a few outfits. They give them little shirts to wear and provide diapers wipes and baby wash, so I bring, 3 gowns and about 6 onsies, socks mittens and caps. I bring the kind of binki we wanna use because with my first they had weird ones and they were expensive ones lol so I didn't want him to get addicted to those, luckily he preferred the cheapo ones, my second didn't like the kind the hospital had OR the ones we brought he likes the MAM ones, so we'll probably stick with those, but its up to you what kind or even if they use them. And a few blankets from home.
Nursing pads! Even if you don't nurse you'll still leak, and nipple ointment if you do nurse although the hospital has AWESOME kind. My nursing pillow, again even if you don't nurse its sstill comfy and a lot easier to hold baby with rap since you'll probably be worn out.
I bring my own blanket (hospital blankets are too heavy but not warm enough for me) and my own pillows.
Man I can't even thing lol I think that's it.
