Question about hospital bag

when you go into labor and go to the hospital does DH bring in the bag right away, or leave it in the car, if he brings it in where can he leave it?

Re: Question about hospital bag

Leave it in the car, when you get put in a room after delivery, he can bring it in.

I presume right away.... I put the cord blood collection kit inside, so it HAS to go to L&D! there must be a chair in the room where it can be tucked.....

I brought it in, but I was a c-section & we had to wait in the recovery room for 6 hours.

I had a small bag with the few things I needed for labor and then DH brought in my bag of stuff when I was moved up to the maternity floor after delivery.

Took it in with us. Don't think I used it before I delivered, but it wasn't in the way at all.

Re: Question about hospital bag

I have two bags:

One with all my stuff for Labor: cd's, lip balm, snacks for him, etc etc.

One for my hospital stay: make-up, toiletries, clothes for me and the baby's coming home outfit, etc.

The 2nd one stays in the car until I am well settled into my post-partum room.

Re: Question about hospital bag

I brought into room b/c my dds baby book and camera was in it. My hospital said they would stamp her feet into the baby book if i had it at the time of delivery. I was soo on that.

Dont remember where my dh put it, the room was big so im sure there is a place. Probable under bed?


eta: i didnt use anything i brought with me for labor. Lip balm, warmer socks, hair clips, puzzle books none of it. I just wanted Ice chips.

Re: Question about hospital bag

definitely bring it in!!!

you don't know how fast things will be progressing and if you need something from the bag, you will not want DH leaving your side to get it! and he could very well miss things!

i took things from my bag all through L&D--magazines, socks, etc.

i wouldn't leave it in the car...there's plenty of room in the room for it
