Hospital Bag Must Haves

Hospital Bag Must Haves

Packed And Ready!

PACKED AND READY. Our hospital bags have been sitting at the end of the bed for nearly 3 weeks now in hopes baby boy will get the hint that we are SOOOO ready to meet him! I get so excited and impatient at the end I can barely stand it. Each day feels like a week!!

We’re using the same bags when I went into labor with Navy – StorkSak ! Talk about a well constructed overnight baby bag…they have literally thought through everything you could possibly need as a mom. I’ve packed two — one for baby boy and one for mom and dad. The video takes you through everything you need to know, including a few items I won’t be packing this time around. I’ve included links for everything and you can see the full video LINKED HERE!

Oh, and for a few non-hospital bag related tips– prepare a playlist (one for labor, one for arrival), have your birth plan on hand in case you deliver with a different team or just for reference, snap lots of pics and vids (you’ll be a happy you did later on), don’t forget to bring the carseat, and most importantly DEEP BREATH….YOU’RE ABOUT TO MEET YOUR BABY!

Toiletries And Personal Care

Clothes For Me

  • A soft robe – so nice to have when it is chilly in the hospital plus they are breastfeeding friendly
  • Comfy clothes – bring your favorite baggy sweatpants and anything oversized to leave the hospital in. Loose, comfortable pieces are essential for after labor and make sure you choose dark colors – trust me. I’m bringing a cozy, oversized hoodie, a jumpsuit, and dark loungewear.
  • A few pairs of socks – I decided to pack no slip socks instead of bringing house shoes to save room in my bag.
  • Nursing tanks – I don’t need to pack any nursing bras because this acts as a tank and bra in one!
  • Maternity underwear – SO SEXY. These are a lifesaver and the hospital will have some as well.

 

Needs For Baby

  • Car seat – if you haven’t already, make sure to install your carseat before leaving for the hospital – easy to forget but so important to remember!
  • Going home outfit and clothes for baby – be prepared with multiple onesies for your hospital stay
  • Gown – this style makes diaper changes much easier
  • Bottles and formula even if you plan to nurse. I’m packing HIPP formula, just in case we need it. Quick tip: don’t pack the whole box of formula but instead save room in your bag by taking a photo of the packaging to reference measurements.
  • Breastfeeding pillow – makes figuring out breastfeeding and/or bottle feeding much more comfortable for both mom and baby
  • Pacifiers
  • Diapers – the hospital has diapers for you but I’m also bringing the Honest Co. ones we’ll use.
  • Swaddles
  • Hats, socks and booties   

Electronics

  • Extra long cell phone charger – you won’t want to be getting up for your phone, so this cord keeps it charging within reach
  • Charged iPad – making sure ours is charged BEFORE getting to the hospital this time around 🙂
  • Portable bluetooth speaker – you’ll want to have something to playing music in the room as a mood booster and distraction during labor. Definitely helpful to have this charged before going to the hospital as well

Extension cord – any extension cord will do, but I love that this one has USB ports and multiple plugs

“DEEP BREATH…. YOU’RE ABOUT TO MEET YOUR BABY!”

For Labor

  • Your birth plan – either print ahead of time or have available to share once at the hospital to reference
  • Essential oils – when I had an emergency c-section with Navy my doula handed Mad lavender essential oils so that’s what I was smelling during my surgery. Something I never would have thought to pack on my own but made SUCH a difference during my labor.
    • Side note: Mad created a really thoughtful laboring / after birth playlist and a first day of life playlist for once the baby is here. Such a special memory to have with Navy as a newborn, and I’m excited to have one for this labor and delivery too.

Other Necessities

  • Water bottles – sooo important to stay hydrated, which I already have a hard time doing. Bring a few so water is always available.
  • Snacks – My favorites to have on hand are: KIND bars, Milton’s crackers, gum + sugar free mints (because once you start laboring it is ice chips and gum until baby is here!)
  • Change for vending machines – added this to the packing list after NOT having it the first time around. Mad and I never carry cash but if you want a late night snack, coins are a must for hospital vending machines.
  • Your favorite book to read during the long hours of labor

    Hello my name is Martin  I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2019 through a classmate who was deep into cryptocurrency trading. At the time, I didn’t know much about Bitcoin or how it worked, but my curiosity got the better of me. After some research, I decided to take the plunge and make a small investment. I didn’t expect much at first, but as time passed, I watched in amazement as my initial investment steadily grew, eventually turning into an impressive $300,000. I was thrilled, to say the least.
    However, earlier this year, I experienced a moment of panic. After attending a lively college party, I realized that my phone was missing. I had no idea where I had left it, but between the chaos and excitement of the party, it must have gotten misplaced. Losing my phone was bad enough, but what really scared me was the fact that my two-factor authentication for my Bitcoin wallet was linked to that phone. Worse still, I hadn’t properly stored any backup codes, leaving me completely locked out of my wallet. The thought of losing all that money was terrifying.
    At that moment, I didn’t know what to do. I was overwhelmed and desperate to regain access to my funds. Luckily, a close friend who had gone through a similar situation recommended MALICE CYBER RECOVERY to me. I wasn’t sure if they could help, but I was willing to try anything at that point. So, I reached out to them with the hope that they could somehow help me recover access to my wallet.
    To my absolute relief, MALICE CYBER RECOVERY didn’t disappoint. Their team was professional and efficient, and they assured me that even though I didn’t have my phone or the backup codes, they could still recover my wallet. After just a few weeks of working with them, they managed to restore my access completely, and my $300,000 was safe and sound. I couldn’t believe how smoothly the whole process went.
    If you’re a student like me or anyone else who has lost their phone during a night out or a party, don’t lose hope. MALICE CYBER RECOVERY has the expertise to help you recover your funds, even in what seems like a hopeless situation. I’m incredibly grateful for their service and would highly recommend them to anyone facing a similar crisis.reach out to MALUCE CYBER RECOVERY VIA

    HOW TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK THROUGH WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR
    Am a Forex scam victim that i involved in a scam that cost me CHF 300,000, hoping it helps others avoid a similar fate. It all began when I encountered what appeared to be a lucrative opportunity in forex trading. The promise of high returns was too tempting to resist, leading me to invest a significant sum. Initially, everything seemed fine; I made a few small gains that reinforced my belief in the platform’s legitimacy.However, things quickly spiraled downward when I attempted to withdraw my funds. What started as minor withdrawal issues rapidly escalated into a barrage of requests for additional fees, all with little to no explanation. Each time I complied, they concocted new reasons for further delays, continuously asking for more money. It became painfully clear that I was caught in a sophisticated scam designed to extract as much money as possible from unsuspecting investors.Feeling desperate and helpless, I began searching for a solution. During my research, I came across Web Bailiff Contractor. Their name appeared frequently in online forums and reviews, where many individuals shared their success stories in recovering lost funds from scams, including forex trading schemes. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, prompting me to reach out to them in hopes of a miracle.To my relief, Web Bailiff Contractor responded promptly and professionally. They guided me through the entire recovery process, reassuring me of their solid track record in handling such cases. Within just 48 hours, they managed to recover CHF 290,000—an efficiency and effectiveness that left me amazed.While my experience with Web Bailiff Contractor was a huge relief, it also served as a harsh lesson about the importance of due diligence in investing. Forex trading and other high-risk investments can be fraught with danger, especially if one is not cautious about the platforms they choose. Always verify the legitimacy of a trading platform, be wary of promises that seem too good to be true, and ensure you’re dealing with regulated entities.For anyone facing similar challenges, I strongly recommend seeking professional help rather than trying to navigate the situation alone. Your financial well-being deserves it.
