Idk why but I love when you call us mamas. It’s so endearing
-
A file holder was useful for me. To help keep all of the paper work and important papers you get during the hospital stay so they don’t end up getting lost.

Extra clothes!!! You never know if you’ll have a longer hospital stay and you’ll want clean clothes each day you’re there. Everyone told us to only bring enough clothes for 2 days but we had a 4 day hospital stay. Very grateful I trusted my gut and packed extra!
-
You totally forgot the Boppy Pillow for nursing! I'm so glad I took mine, it was such a lifesaver. I was beyond exhausted when my little man came out I couldn't see straight and had hardly any strength left in arms. It was perfect to help me hold him in the correct positioning for nursing while being so tired.
-
Just going to say, as a father to be your videos have really helped me help my wife with all the prep for welcoming our baby into our lives. I try and do as much research as I can so the whole experience isn't so overwhelming for her, and just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your content.
-
I’m having my third baby in may & I’m still watching these videos like I have no idea what to bring 😂
-
My boss recommended high waisted control briefs after the birth of my 1st baby and it was the best post-partum advice I was ever given 👌
-
Just came here to let everyone know how exausted i am. My hospital bag is pack since i was 34 weeks pregnant . And i m ready every single second to birth but noooooo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 almost 42 weeks and babybis still not here. Pray for me plz
-
Baby #4 due in the next three weeks and why am I suddenly so clueless as to what to pack 😂 I watch your videos toward the end of my pregnancies. Super refreshing and a good dose of confidence before the big day.
-
bring a blanket and pillow for your support person. the hospital doesn't usually have food or blankets for them and if you're there overnight you'll want them to be comfy too
-
For the essential oils, dab a cotton ball/pad with it instead of a diffuser for that same reason someone mentioned in the comment (that a nurse may be allergic to smell) but also so if you end up not liking the smell for whatever hormonal reason, it is easy to make disappear or change scent
-
My husband found your channel and since then for every question I have I watch only your videos. You are absolutely straight to the point and giving such useful tips !!
-
I'm 30w pregnant and i waited too long for a traditional birth class. Your videos are helping me so much and helping me not panic for my daughter's arrival in about 10w. Thank you for your videos <3
-
LOVE the map behind your bed!! Your decor is so lovely!
-
Loved #21. I’ve been stressed about all things that I might forget, but bringing your mindset and heart is the most important thing ❤️
-
Your own birthing/delivery gown. Haven’t delivered yet, but already checked with my OB & even with COVID I am allowed to bring & wear my own birthing/delivery gown as long as it allows for them to have as much access as a normal hospital gown. I know I am going to feel so much more comfortable in my own chosen gown versus a standard hospital gown. My OB also suggested one that can open fully in the front so that I can easily have skin to skin contact with my baby as soon as she’s born.
-
This is one of the most useful lists that i've seen so far, thank you
-
I’m super broke and am finding your videos so useful!!! I’ve tried “watching” some live videos about what to put inside and yet they don’t say anything that goes inside!! And they want you to pay $200+ in another class!!
-
Best list I’ve seen on this so far (I’ve seen ALOT). 👌🏾
