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

    Looking back, it feels almost too good to be true. After so many failed attempts with other companies and solutions, I had nearly given up hope. But FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES turned that around completely. They not only restored my Bitcoin but also restored my faith in customer service and technical expertise in the crypto world. Their approach was thorough, professional, and most importantly, they delivered. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for their help. If you’re in a similar situation, struggling to regain access to your Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency, I urge you to reach out to FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES. Unlike many other companies in this space that promise the world and underdeliver, FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES is one of the few that actually keeps their promises and follows through on their commitments. After countless failures, I finally found a company that delivered. And for that, I’ll be forever grateful. I was amazed at how quickly the process started moving forward. While other companies had made me wait days or even weeks without progress, FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES immediately took action. They began analyzing my wallet’s encryption, cross-referencing security protocols, and using state-of-the-art recovery tools to work through the issues preventing access. I was given a timeline for the recovery process, and to my surprise, they met it. There was a critical moment in the process where I thought we had hit a dead-end, but rather than give up or suggest some drastic, expensive solution, the recovery expert at FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES reassured me, offering additional methods to work around the problem. They never once pushed me into anything that felt like a scam or an unnecessary expense. It was a moment I’ll never forget—the day I received the email from FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES confirming that my Bitcoin had been successfully restored. My heart raced as I logged into my wallet. I had been so used to seeing the dreaded “access denied” message that it felt surreal to finally see my balance staring back at me. All the coins were there, as they should be. My entire investment—my future—was safe again. The team not only restored my Bitcoin but also made sure that my wallet was more secure than ever. They provided me with enhanced security measures and walked me through best practices for managing my digital assets going forward. Thanks to FAST SWIFT CYBER SERVICES, I no longer had to worry about losing my Bitcoin again.
