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

    Cryptocurrency Scam/Fraud Tracing & Recovery
    I never thought I will get scammed of all my assets on this exchange which I was warned by friends not to invest online or apply for exchange from unknown online investors, they stole all my life savings ranging to a total sum of $68k [sixty eight thousand dollars] worth of bitcoin, I started regretting my life until I came across some article online about jamesmckaywizard a genuine hacker who is into any kind of hacking and helping people recover their lost funds via online scam, I still didn’t believe bitcoin can ever be recovered, but had to once again trust my guts and instincts.

    HOW TO RECOVER SCAMMED CRYPTO? CONTACT CAPTAIN JACK CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY

    As a Vietnamese citizen living and working in Spain , my life took an unexpected turn in 2019 when I embarked on a contract job with a construction company. At the age of 28, I was optimistic about the opportunities that lay ahead, but little did I know that a dark cloud was looming on the horizon. My descent into the depths of despair began with a devastating blow to my financial well-being. A crypto investment, which I had hoped would secure my future, crumbled before my eyes, leaving me reeling from the staggering loss. The culprit? The Covid deflation, they said. It was a harsh reality to swallow, and I found myself plunged into a pit of despair. In my quest to reclaim what was rightfully mine, I turned to countless crypto recovery experts, each promising salvation but delivering only disappointment. Despite their assurances, my efforts proved futile, and I found myself sinking deeper into debt with each failed attempt. The weight of my losses, totaling over 10.065221 BTC and exceeding USD 250,000, threatened to crush me under its crushing burden. The toll it took on my mental health was immeasurable. Depression and anxiety became constant companions, casting a shadow over every aspect of my life. It seemed as though there was no escape from the relentless cycle of despair and desperation. But just when I thought all hope was lost, a ray of light pierced through the darkness. Captain Jack Crypto Recovery Company emerged as a beacon of hope in my darkest hour, offering a glimmer of possibility where none seemed to exist. With nothing left to lose, I reached out to them, clinging to the fragile hope that they could offer me a lifeline. To my astonishment and relief, Captain Jack Crypto Recovery Company responded swiftly to my plea for help. Their urgency and professionalism were a stark contrast to the empty promises of others, instilling me with a newfound sense of hope and optimism. With their expertise and determination, they embarked on a mission to track down the swindlers who had robbed me of my hard-earned funds. What followed was nothing short of miraculous. Captain Jack Crypto Recovery Company worked tirelessly to dismantle the scammer’s private wallet, leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice. Their relentless pursuit of my stolen assets culminated in a triumphant victory, as they successfully recovered what was rightfully mine. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude to Captain Jack Crypto Recovery Company for their unwavering support and unwavering commitment to justice. They not only helped me reclaim my lost funds but also restored my faith in humanity. In a world fraught with deception and betrayal, they are a shining example of integrity and compassion. I endorse Captain Jack Crypto Recovery Company to anyone who finds themselves victimized by crypto scams. Their professionalism, expertise, and unwavering dedication make them a beacon of hope in an otherwise bleak landscape.
