I have been living in these shorts my entire third trimester. Let me know if you wore the hospitals or brought your own, and if I should reconsider! Some people prefer to purchase their hospital gowns, but I didn’t want to get too carried away. I know I’ll be in the hospital gown they provide most of the time, so that can help limit the clothing. It may seem like a lot to some, but I still feel it’s not enough. I made sure to pack the softest, breastfeeding-friendly, and non-restrictive clothing I could find. With the weather being warmer in May, I didn’t know what to pack when it came to shorts or pants, so I did a mixture of both. I am packing clothes for coming home, clothes to change into after giving birth, and an extra pair of pajamas if the stay is more extended than expected. You should start getting those bags put together towards the end of your third trimester! You can even put some items on your baby shower registry to help get things rolling.
I also am ready to go if anything happens before my 40-week mark. I was born just before 36-weeks, so you never know when the baby will arrive! Once 37 weeks gets here, and you’re in the final stretch, moving around and packing gets harder. I wanted all of my bags to be packed by 37 weeks. This is totally up to you! I usually follow what my apps tell me to do regarding my pregnancy timeline. I put my phone charger, earphones, and USB chord in mine. I put the baby’s little mittens, hat, and socks into theirs. They were under $12, and I figured I could use them for the years to come! I love the quality of them. Of course, I fell in love with them and had to get them. I’ll talk more about the Baby Bodly bag towards the end of the blog, but what a time saver this was!Īfter purchasing the “Mama Bag,” the baby things and mommy things bags popped up on my recommendations. The perfect way to cut all of the packing and shopping in half. I felt like they needed an official hospital bag as well. I used this bag for all of their essentials, and it has room for additional products the hospital provides for them. I purchased some iron-on stickers from Hobby Lobby and added them to a purple tote. If you have to get a gift for an expecting mama, this would be an adorable bag to include.įor some crazy reason, I felt like making my baby their little hospital bag. When I saw the “Mama Bag” on Amazon, I had to get it! It was under $20, and I thought it would be a perfect-sized bag for the hospital to keep snacks, electronics, and the miscellaneous stuff. If there is any item you believe I’m missing that you loved, let me know in the comments! I used the guide my hospital gave me and the help from others. But just because there is something I used or didn’t use doesn’t mean you won’t need or want it.
Baby checklist hospital bag update#
I will come back and update this blog after giving birth with things I used and which items I didn’t use. Today, I’m sharing everything I’m packing in my hospital bags. She also said that the hospital would provide you with so many essentials. During our labor and delivery class at the hospital, our instructor gave us a list of items to bring for mom, dad, and baby. Some people make it to the hospital just in time to have the baby without any bags and still are completely fine! I don’t know why there is so much stress when packing a hospital bag, but the anxiety of not having everything you want with you is real. I know every labor and delivery experience is different, and some people find things more necessary than others. They have been so helpful when it comes to putting my bags together.
I have learned a lot from watching “what I packed in my hospital bag” videos on YouTube and reading some of your comments here on the blog. * I have edited this post since giving birth! He’s the person that packs 48-hours in advance. Even my husband has his bags packed and ready to go, but that’s expected because he’s always prepared. My goal was to have everything packed away and placed by the door at the 37-week mark.
When it comes to labor, I do not want to scram around trying to throw things together. I’m the type of person that will throw a bag together an hour before heading to the airport. My hospital bags are packed, and I’m ready to go! I’ve always been a last-minute packer.
