Pack for the hospital

I’m going to be completely honest with you – the only things you really need to bring to the hospital are an outfit to bring home baby in and a carseat. I know this because baby #2 came so fast (like one hour from the first inkling I might be having a contraction to full on delivery) that I showed up to the hospital with nothing. Nothing! But guess what? I survived. The hospital provided a sexy gown, socks, baby diapers, cafeteria meals – all the necessities for a sterile two-day no-fuss stay.

Packing list to have your baby

However, if you want to feel more at home, here’s a nice list of things you might want to consider packing (well in advanced) in your hospital bag:

  • slippers
  • nursing bra/nursing tank
  • nursing pads
  • pads (with wings)
  • underwear (disposable ones are even better!)
  • camera
  • phone charger
  • mental list of nearby restaurants to order takeout
  • small makeup bag
  • toiletries
  • hair ties
  • snacks
  • entertainment – music/book/magazine
  • yoga pants and a flowy shirt to come home in
  • outfit for baby to come home in
  • blanket for baby
  • car seat
  • and if you’re feeling really prepared and nested – goodies for the nurses – because trust me, they are awesome at making you feel at home, even when you know you’re not.

Having been through childbirth before, I just keep thinking, which items on these lists will make the baby come out faster? Let’s bring only those things.
