I also brought:

*baby book (they put the footprints in it when she was born)
*my womanly art of breastfeeding book
*camera (film if it's not digital, battery charger if it's digital)
*thank you cards to fill out in the wee hours of the morning or whenever I had a free moment.
*address book with #s of people to call
*any styling products you use on your hair
* bathrobe

Make up
Deodorant
S.T's - The ones I got in the hostpital were awful - didnt stick to my underwear so I know for the next time to bring my own.
Face cloth - for when you are in labor - nice to have someone wet it and put it on back of your neck etc.
If your hair is long - hair ties
Boppy pillow if you are going to BF.
Calling card for making calls.
Cell phne - although you are not supposed to use it, I used it for texts.
Any paperwork required by the hospital.

Also:

Change of clothes, pjs and Toiletries for DH if he plans on staying over

Travel size items for both of you
Pillow-hospital ones are small and flimsy
Money
Hair bands
Chapstick
Hard candy to suck on during labor
Nursing book if plan on doing so
PHone numbers to call
Name, Number of Peditrician

Personally, I overpacked and didn't use my own pj's, underwear, pads, flip flops. I didn't want to ruin them. I was astonished at the amount of blood after i gave birth and for th 2 days after, I didn't want to ruin my things.

I showered in my socks then threw them out.

Pack old panties that you don't mind just throwing away. This is not the time for the pretty ones.Chat Icon
