Okay friends, we are getting down to the 20 day mark already which is just crazy to me. This whole entire pregnancy has flown by so quickly! I don’t have my bag packed quite yet but I do have everything together that I will be taking to the hospital. We did take a tour of the hospital and they told us what they would provide for us while we are there, which made packing a lot easier. I researched blogs and Pinterest to figure out what I thought was important to pack. Below is what I am packing. Let me know if there is something important that I am missing!

This is actually a diaper bag, but I am using it to pack all of his stuff in it for the hospital. I will also be bringing along a small suitcase to put our items in.

For Mom:

Clothing:

  • Hospital gown: I don’t feel comfortable wearing the hospital gown that hospital provides, so I am going to be wearing this one c/o from Baby Be Mine Maternity. It even comes with a matching pillow case.
  • Slipper socks: My feet get cold pretty easily so I made sure to get some slippers.
  • Robe: Family will obviously be visiting and taking photos, so I want to look half decent since the photos will probably end up on Facebook.
  • 2 nursing bras 
  • Pajamas
  • Boyshorts: I heard that the hospital’s boyshorts that they provide can be uncomfortable, so I decided to pack my own.
  • Going home outfit: I will just be wearing some comfy leggings from Express and a t-shirt.

    I’ve got a few months before I need to pack, but these are great suggestions. A lot of people forget about the dad bag too, and dad needs a bag!

      Dad definitely needs a bag! Hope your pregnancy is going well!

    It sounds like you are prepared for the day. I agree that you should take your own gown to the hospital gown.
