Ultimate Hospital Packing List

Baby is Ready. . . Are You?

This is part two of my Ultimate Hospital Packing List, in case you missed it here was my post for baby's bag. Now it's Mommy's turn! Mom's bag is even more important for the big day, the last thing you want when your mid-labour, or evening the first few hours of your newborn is for one of your loved ones to have to run back home to grab something you forgot. Here's a list I've compiled of the curtails you'll need for your stay in the hospital:

Toilettres:

• Hair ties, clips and bobby pins
• Chapstick
• Tissues
• Face Wipes/ Makeup remover
• Hand Wipes
• Toothbrushes
• Nail file
• Razor
• Lotion
• Prenatal Vitamins
• Advil (for Dad)

Clothing:

• Nursing Bra(s)
• Nursing Tank tops (3)
• Yoga Pants
• Socks
• Comfy Pajamas (3)
• Going home outfit- mine is a comfy jersey maxi dress!
• Flip flops
• Underwear

Comfort:

• Snacks (granola bars, suckers, trail mix)
• Water Bottle
• Slippers
• Pillow
• Kindle/ Books/ iPad/ Magazines/Other entertainment

If your like me, a lot of your essentials are things you use everyday and can't be packed until the very last minute, don't stress Mamma's! Here's a "It's Time" Print out I made with a list of the last minute grabs as well as important contact information and address info. Just in case one or both of you are a bit panicked in the moment it will help make sure nothing gets left behind or forgotten!

(Just copy and paste this into a word document, add your personal info, print and you're all set!)

It's Time!
