***This list is a work in progress and will update as I research more items to pack.
Checklist
For me:
I am packing everything in a cute weekender bag as I didn't want to bring a suitcase.
Heating pad. I had back labor with my first son and this helped immensely while I was waiting for the anesthiologist!
Robe and nightgown This set from Nordstrom is super cute as it comes with a matching swaddle blanket.
Flip flops for shower
Makeup bag
Toiletries bag with dry shampoo - If I have a vaginal birth like last time, I will use just the dry shampoo as you are in and out of the hospital in 24 hours. However, I will still be prepared if I need to shampoo and blowdry my hair if a c-section occurs.
Sports bra as I will be using formula
Black tank top/ maternity yoga capri pants as backup outfit
Fan to help sleep and for when hot during labor (Small, battery operated that clips to bed)
Chapstick and Hair ties both in toiletries bag
Amazon Fire TV Stick - After being admitted to L&D, I realized the large flat screen TV on the wall only had 3 channels, so this little luxury is a must!
Pads - the ones from the hospital are massive!
10ft iPhone charging cord
Gallon ziplock bag that contains snacks like granola bars, chips, fruit snacks (Also, quarters for vending machine incase this isn't enough!)
Trash bag for any soiled clothes
Eye mask for sleeping as hospital rooms are bright
Washable nursing pads in case of leakage
Cute socks that I doubt I will wear, but packed just in case!
Mom Washer by Fridababy
Placenta kit!
Labor gown - Another must after being admitted to L&D and wearing that ichy hospital gown that was uncomfortable and didn't cover my backside.
For baby:
Coming home outfit/hat/ mittens/ pacifier
Additional newborn sleeper
Swaddle
Baby Shawl - This is the same shawl Duchess Kate wrapped Louis in!
Rainbow ink pad for footprint
Chalkboard/chalk for announcement pic
