Any tips for packing a hospital bag? awaitingallisonsarrival:
I know I’ll need a few out fits for me and Allison. And some personal hygiene items. But is there anything else?
I feel so freaking old. I can’t find the message button on tumblr. Fail.
To answer the question though:
Your id for forms
Insurance cards for forms
Your birthplan if you have one
If you wear glasses, wear those instead. Contacts during labor can be annoying
All bathroom items (toothpaste, toothbrush, hair brush, deodorant, hair bands, shampoo/conditioner, anything else you may want from home)
Nightgown, sweats, granny panties (trust me on this one)
Your own pillow, maybe an ipod, cell phone, charger, laptop and charger
Camera
Money for vending machines
Nursing bras
Pads, one thing noone told me was all the bleeding you will be doing for the next 6 weeks. You can’t use tampons nor would you want to. Get overnight wings. Alot. And a spray bottle for down there because toilet paper will look like the devil the day after giving birth.
Basics for the baby:
Receiving blanket
Going home outfit
Carseat
Good luck!
