FTM... imma start getting my bag ready for hospital any suggestions on what should i pack?

Mine was deployed most of my pregnancy then when he got home and started working again they gave him crazy hours and he's only home a few days a month so I've gotten used to sleeping alone so him being home throws everything off but my little guy definitely knows when his daddy is home he always goes crazy when he talks.

my hubby works nights and i cant sleep until my baby finds her spot but i sleep better when his here its like if she wants her dad near @mjj3

I've found if I sleep dead center and put pillows all around me I can sleep, Idk what I'm going to do when my hubby is finally home tomorrow night.

@mjj3, yes im the same way i an hardly sleep

Yeah these little cuties love to make us sore, I literally toss and turn all night from him. The last trimester is so tiring

@mjj3, mine has been a great experience aswell... just now im starting to get tired n pain when i sleep

@mhbaez88, I find out what we're having on the 21st of January, crossing fingers for a baby girl but we'll be happy either way.

First 33 weeks were great now I just want him out so I can get out of bed...

@mhbaez88, thank you hun!

@lilchicken, do u know what you are having

@mjj3, how has ur pregnancy been treating u

@sandycheeks, fingers crossed and congratulations in advance....

i have a 1 and 2 year old. hopefully pregnant now. waiting to take another test to make sure my test was really positive😊 @mhbaez88

35+4 with my first, but he is a rainbow baby.

@mhbaez88, I'm four months along with my second :)

how far along are u ladies @lilchicken @mjj3 @mommy_thatgirl @sandycheeks

@mommy_thatgirl, yes it gives u an idea on some things... @sandycheeks thanks for advise.. @mjj3 thanks i will be packing the essential for baby... thanks ladies...

@mhbaez88, yes the breast pads and lanolin cream are lifesavers especially if you plan to breastfeed. @mommy_thatgirl I'd say it's a pretty comprehensive list PS mommas a face mask and earplugs help too to drown out the light and hospital sounds. it can be difficult to fall asleep in the hospital

I was wondering that too! Lol.. (bathing suit) I was planning to leave that one out for sure...but some things on there sound about right. @lilchicken

@lilchicken, good idea about the breastfeeding pump... ive been told to also pack maternity pads

for you;loose fitted clothing. i loved sweats or like maxi dresses! socks/slippers. something to do while bored(tablet..etc) your own travel size shampoos and all. pads just in case you dont want to wear the huge ones from hospital. cotton panties. ponytail holder. and closer to time maybe a throw blanket and pillow. phone charger. comfy bra. breast pads

For baby a few outfits, blankets, hats, socks, scratch mittens, if your hospital doesn't provide dipes and wipes pack those, and maybe baby wash. For you socks, undies you don't mind ruining, chap stick, shower stuff, comfy clothing to go home in, pjs. If you plan to do hair and makeup bring that too. I'm bringing my own pillow cuz hospital ones suck. Oh and the car seat

@mommy_thatgirl, I agree with the graphic except I don't see why mom would need a bathing suit and you honestly won't need the first half of what's listed for baby, at least from my experience

@mommy_thatgirl, thanks this comes in handy...

I packed everything I would need for 4 days just in case and for baby I just packed a boppy pillow, made sure the carseat was installed, and a few outfits so I could decide on baby's first pictures and a coming home outfit but the hospital should have everything you'll need for the baby. for this baby I'm going to do the same but bring my breastfeeding pump along in case my milk comes in early and or baby won't latch
