Pack bendy straws! This saved me so many sit-ups during my labor and postpartum.
-
I love supportive partners during this process, not judging you for ordering the pizza. This video is so helpful and reading all the comments has me emotional. I'm so excited!! I am about to pop with baby 3 but I still really needed this video. For me I don't remember the time at the hospital, or right before going to the hospital as much as I remember bringing the baby home. As soon as you have the baby you forget about everything and all the pain that you went through. Hence why I need these reminders
-
My OB is a mom of a 1 and 2 year old and gave birth at my hospital. She gave me the tip of bringing a suitcase with all of our item in one bag (Divided by packing cubes). We definitely looked crazy but it was so much easier than juggling 3 different bags and going home I just chucked everything into that one bag.
-
Eye mask, sound machine and earplugs! Helped me so much while sleeping!
-
They didn’t mention what I thought were the most essential items for me when my LO was born - a white noise machine (to keep baby sleeping through the noises of the hospital), and a fan (for labor). I had a stroller fan clipped to the side of the bed while I was pushing and it was something I definitely needed throughout my labor.
-
What great timing! I'm almost 38 weeks, so my husband and I definitely need to have our bags on standby. I'm starting to see some early signs that labor is coming, so I need to get things washed, folded, and packed TODAY!
-
I would add: if you do pack minimally that’s totally smart BUT I would have maybe packed a second replacement suitcase to leave at home just in case. I ended up in the hospital for ten days total because I had postpartum preeclampsia that they couldn’t get under control. I was SO sick of the clothes I had and everything smelled gross. I did send my mom/husband to bring me more stuff but of course it wasn’t exactly what I would’ve picked for myself.
-
I didn’t bring a pillow the first time, and I will definitely be bringing one next time. I also had an electric blanket. It was so nice to have my own cozy blanket, and a few times I got really cold, so this saved me. Bringing my nursing pillow was essential too. A lot of people say that you can just use a lot of pillows, but my hospital was low on pillows. I was lucky to have two, and they’re not supportive. My arms hurt a lot postpartum, so I was so glad I brought my nursing pillow.
-
YES to Silverettes! If hospitals gave to all nursing mommy's I think that would be amazing! Also, please bring food and snacks.
-
The most solid advice in this entire video is ZIPPERS only!!!! Do not go with a long pants outfit full of snaps or buttons. My baby is 7 months and I’ve only put her in snap outfits that other people bought us and I was trying to be nice/take pictures.
-
I ended up being in the hospital for 6 days due to my baby having jaundice. I packed crazy light because of everything I heard! We both ran out of clothes and after 3 days, the hospital stopped providing me with towels and pads 🤯 but didn’t want us to leave because of covid. It was a horrible experience. Next time I’m bringing a damn suitcase with everything I’ll need to be comfortable just in case.
-
Packing my bag today using this video. Thanks for the recommendations!!
-
This video is right on time for me, I'm currently in the process of packing my own bag ^^ Fun to see the differences in American and Dutch requirements. We don't automatically get put in a hospital gown upon arrival when we choose to deliver in the hospital. So I do have to bring something to wear. And we are advised to bring two sets of babyclothing, in two different sizes, as our babies can apparently be slightly too big for the regular one-month-size at birth 😅
-
Stroller fan!! Attached it right to the side of my hospital bed. Also helped with transition nausea
-
Always nice to watch these videos, specially as a first time mom that’s almost there and still working on my bags. I heard other people (nurses in Yt) mention to bring the boppy for breastfeeding. Also snacks and drinks for after (can’t always trust dad with all of that). Thanks for sharing!
-
I love her….she is adorable. Thank you for all your great tips and advice
-
Make sure to bring a newborn size and premie size :) I didn't know my son would be so tiny and his newborn outfit was even too big on him!! Having a few different sizes is helpful.
-
I'm 34 weeks and I'm so nervous! Your videos give me peace of mind for the coming weeks 😊
-
I think it’s so cool we had our first and second pregnancy around the same times! (Same trimesters) 😊 Congratulations ❤
-
A l&d nurse told me to pack swim trunks for dad in case I want to labor in the shower so he can be in there supporting, massaging etc. "That way if we come in his junk isn't out" 😅
