Thank you so much for all of your input! This is extremely helpful!

Nursing Nightgowns, rob for walking the halls or company & a nursing bra or T-shirt pjs, I didn’t want to wear pj pants or any pants lol, slippers Those socks suck and germs, I was there like 5 days. I didn’t end up getting milk and nursing, but still used the bra because it was comfy. I had an unexpected csection and wish I brought a support band & wish I had one because I have pelvic support problems still 3yrs pp and had to get one. I didn’t bring shampoo and soap and wish I did and your own toothbrush and toothpaste, comfy clothes and snacks for SO, I didn’t want mine leaving the room and my labor was over 28hrs (FTM), plus hospital food is yucky and I had my baby at 3am and was hungry after ,anything that you think will leave you comfort. I liked the hospital mesh things, but a lot of people don’t and the pads we’re good for me, but maybe bring your fave.
Pj & cute going home outfit for baby. Pj’s we’re my fave for baby.i over packed for my baby (ftm)
Best tip I got if my water breaks at home and mine did was Depends. Nothing else will hold it in and you will leak all the way to the hospital. I was vein and wouldn’t buy them, but dh got some for me and I tried a towel, period and pad made for pee and nothing worked like those Depends 😂 comfy for after baby too.
Best wishes!!!

I got a robe, comfy clothes and pjs , my personal hygiene stuff such as shampoo and conditioner , body wash n washcloths, Charger , headphones , i sneeked in juice lol and a pillow and blanket.

I second the sound machine! Mine was a fan/sound machine duo and it really helped cool me off so I could sleep and helped with the extra noise in the hallway while still being able to hear my little one cry at night

Chapstick, socks, and a 10ft phone charging cord 😅

A comfortable robe and snacks! I also was really glad I packed super comfy clothes to change into after I was allowed to get out of the gown

Things that aren’t recommend usually when you look up “hospital packing” lists that are absolute must haves for me:

• Heating pad. One that plugs in + a long extension cord. If you end up with a c-section, it’s SO beneficial when it comes to trapped air/gas. And, If you don’t up with a c-section it’s still helpful on the lower back from being in that bed + the epidural site.
If I was told I could only bring one thing to the hospital, it’d be that heating pad.

• A support band. My favorite is MamaStrut. Whether you have a C-section or a vaginal delivery, the extra support from a support band is tremendous. Some hospitals will give out basic ones, but I love MamaStrut because it’s like shorts attached so it doesn’t move around on your body. It stays put and keeps all your belly hugged in tight.

•Sound machine. Amazon has a great one for like $17.00 that’s plug in or battery operated. We like to place them right by the hospital door with the “white noise” option on to drown out the sounds of people & nurses in the hallway.
