Are you ready to Pop!??!
I began packing my hospital bag about two weeks prior to my due date. I know some women like to do this a month before hand, but I am a procrastinator and My kids always arrive late...
Being seasoned, I didn't feel it necessary to pack so early.
But do what you need to do to feel prepped and ready!
Here is a peek inside my hospital bag!!
For Baby and Older Siblings:
- Nursing Pillow
- Nursing Cover
- Lanolin nipple cream
- Nursing pads
- Baby book (stamp for feet/hands)
- Going home outfit
- Gifts for the two big brothers!
For Mama:
- Tooth Brush
- Tooth Paste
- Chapstick
- Mouth Wash
- Hair Brush
- Hair Dryer
- Hair Ties and Clips
- Deodorant
- Dry Shampoo
- Body Wash
- Soap
- Lotion
- Facewash
Will be adding in a makeup bag as well at last second!
(call me vein but those photos last forever!!!)
- Towel (hospitals give you basically a wash rag to dry off with!)
- Robe
- Slippers
- Nursing night Gown/PJs ( I prefer this because your bleeding and way uncomfortable so pants just weren't an option!)
- Skip the underwear! (You will be wearing this awful get up and your own "diaper" for a while).
- But don't forget a nursing bra!
- Eye Mask (Because they leave the lights on and sleeping is next to impossible!)
- Sandals to shower and walk around
ADDITIONAL ITEMS:
- Phone
- Phone charger
- Camera
- Camera Charger
- List of people to call (*if your that organized* haha)
- Snacks for hubby and kiddos
- protein bars/shakeology for energy (Remember you will be running a marathon!!! ---- unless your one of those lucky women WHO I HATE... (ok not really) but your labor is more like a sprint)
**DONT FORGET GOING HOME CLOTHES!**
Personally I like prefer loose fitted clothes for this one!! Especially loose fitting pants/sweatpants.
- I also have piano/spa music downloaded onto my phone so I can listen to some relaxing tunes while I labor (I have done this with all my kids so far and it has helped)
GOOD LUCK TO ALL YOU MAMAS!!!
Many prayers and blessings on the delivery of your little munchkin! <3 font="">
