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

    I’m Dolores, a retired real estate developer from Essen, now dedicating my time to running a charity organization supporting underprivileged communities worldwide. In 2017, I started investing in Bitcoin to expand our charity’s outreach. By 2024, my Bitcoin holdings reached nearly $900,000—a life-changing amount for future projects helping those in need.

    Disaster struck during a European trip when my phone, containing access to my Bitcoin wallet, was stolen. Panic set in when I realized I couldn’t access my funds. Despite trying every method, all attempts failed, putting our charitable initiatives at risk.

    After weeks of stress, a fellow investor recommended DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. Initially skeptical, I trusted them and reached out. Their team was professional, compassionate, and transparent. I appreciated their reassuring approach.

    To my astonishment, within weeks, DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES resolved the issue, returning $900,000 to my hands. I felt immense relief and gratitude, knowing our charity could continue impacting countless lives.

    DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES exceeded expectations, securing our mission’s future. If you face similar challenges, don’t give up. Their expertise, professionalism, and dedication are unmatched.

    This is so amazing and real; at first, I thought it was a scam because I was duped by a number of people who said they could help me invest my money in bitcoin trading, which is how I lost $89,000 seven days ago. However, with the assistance of a legitimate hacker at Redeemed Hacker Pro, A hacking and stolen digital assets/BTC recovery agency, I was able to withdraw $200,000 from an ATM without leaving any trace, which is more than the money I lost seven days ago. I will continue to tell people about Redeemed Hacker Pro if you are in need of a legitimate hacker or have any financial difficulties in order to pay off debts and begin a new life. reach out to team Redeemed Hacker Pro now by visiting their Email & website at: redeemed.h.p@hackermail.com or redeemedhackerpro.wixsite.com/redeem-hacker-pro
