Re: Hospital Bag List--Anyone have it?

Here is the main list that I worked off of when I had DD.


For Mom and Baby
>3-4 nightgowns and/or pajamas ( I only used one set)
>3-4 bras (nursing bras if you plan to breastfeed) (I only brought two)
>6 pairs of underpants (if you haven’t gotten maternity underwear, definitely make sure that you have them for the hospital – I would have died without them after the section as regular underwear would have rubbed on the incision – also I got black so that they wouldn’t get stained. Some hospitals give you special “mesh” underwear but mine didn’t)
>Robe
>Slippers
>Socks (some with non-skid bottom)
>Toiletries: toothbrush/toothpaste, soap, shampoo/conditioner, deodorant, lotion, brush, Blistex, scented shower gel/body spray (to feel good after delivery)
>Shoes for the shower – it was a communal shower, so I was very glad that I had flip flops
>Scrunchies
>Pillow – I was so glad that I had my own pillow – the ones that they had were very thin and had a plastic coating. Just make sure that if you do bring a pillow, you bring a colored case so that they don’t throw yours in with their laundry.
>Towels and washcloth – the towels were so small! They were more like hand towels and not soft – it was really nice having my own towels.
>Bfing supplies – breastpads, lanolin, boppy
>Your own pads
>Makeup
>Snacks – for the middle of the night when you are up feeding and get hungry.
>Money for vending machines
>Phone card
>Magazines
>List of people and phone numbers to call
>Camera/film – make sure the battery for the digital is charged!
>Camcorder/tapes
>Going home outfit
>Clothes for baby (T-shirt, socks, hat, sleeping gown)
>Going home outfit for baby
>Blanket for bringing baby home
>Car seat
>Lysol – came in handy with sharing a bathroom
>Anti-bacterial soap – see above


Miscellaneous items:
>Watch or small clock
>Insurance information
>Hospital pre-registration forms
>Change of clothes & toiletries for husband

Things to be used during labor:
>Small CD player & soothing music
>Focal point
>Tennis ball
>Lotion for massage
>Watch
>Paper/pen
>Hard candy to keep mouth moist – once you are in labor, you can’t eat anything – I also brought gum
>An activity to keep busy during early labor
>Snacks for DH incase you are there a long time (especially if is the middle of the night!)
