Hospital Bag



"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..."

I pretty much packed for the hospital, just in case. The doctor put me on bed rest so it is a good thing I got almost everything squared away. 

Is there anything you think I'm missing below? Anything I should unpack? What items in your hospital bag did you find helpful and "must-have"?

My Bag:
  • Night gowns (2-3)
  • Toiletries  
    • Moisturizer
    • Deodorant
    • Toothbrush & toothpaste
    • Shampoo/conditioner (the hospital provides but I want my own)
    • Hair brush
    • Hair ties
    • Makeup (we'll have visitors so I want the option to put some on if I feel like it)
    • Contact solution
  • Glasses and extra contacts
  • Socks
  • Slippers
  • Towel (hospital provides but my friend Julie said they are very small and rough so it is nice to have a soft, bigger one)
  • Nursing bras (I just ordered 4 of these, so they aren't actually in my bag yet)
  • Undies (I bought some that I'm okay with throwing away and should be super comfy)
  • Nursing pads
  • Pillow
I just need to add:
  • A robe - I bought one but don't like it. Since it will Dec/Jan, I want some comfy and warm to walk around the hospital.
  • An outfit to wear home (will pack something maternity but since I am currently wearing most of my limited comfy maternity clothes, I will wait to throw something in)
  • Flip flops (for the shower)
  • Hard candy/lollipops (?)
Bag for Kamden
  • Newborn size onesie
  • Newborn size going home outfit
  • 3 month onesie
  • 3 month going home outfit
  • Blanket
  • Socks (2-3 pairs)
  • Hats (2-3)
  • Comb/brush (just in case he is born with a lot of hair)
  • Warm cover up since it is winter
  • Boppy pillow
Jeff's Bag
  • Toiletries
  • Comfy clothes
  • Boxers
  • Socks
  • Polo shirts
He will need to throw in some jeans and shoes as we get closer.
