Hospital Bag help...

LADIES - I need help figuring out what to pack in my hospital bag! I know I'm a bit behind the game in getting this done, but thanks to living in a construction zone for the past few weeks, I haven't yet gotten around to packing it yet.

I've heard it's best to bring as many of the things you'll need/want as possible, since while the hospital provides lots of stuff, they happily add those things to your "tab". In light of that, here's what I'm packing so far:

  • Robe (comfy ruin-able one that I got from goodwill for $5)
  • Socks (the non-skid kind so I'll have something to walk around in should I choose to do so)
  • Nursing bra/nursing sleep top
  • Nursing pads
  • sanitary pads
  • Ibuprofen
  • Shampoo/conditioner
  • My own towel (I'm picky when it comes to bath towels)
  • Paperwork (birth plan, insurance stuff, etc. We've pre-registered with the hospital, so they've already got most of it.)
  • Camera and camcorder
  • cellphone/charger
Is there anything I'm forgetting, or anything that you took with you and were glad you had?

  1. Looks good to me.
    I always pack make up. It helps me feel better when visitors arrive.

  3. I'd like it if you could bring some good books. I get bored easily. :)

  4. Yes, bring the books to hurl at Tyler's head. He'll be entertained trying to dodge them. ;-)

  5. This looks good. I'd add a toothbrush and toothpaste. You might want a couple of things to pull your hair back.
    Can't wait!
    Love you,
