This is what I’m bringing in my hospital bag! I am excited to welcome Millie (yesterday I was 35 weeks!)… and I cannot believe how fast it’s going. I decided to pack a few weeks early so I would be ready to go! (Not seen, but packed: My Birth Preferences, BFing chart, as well as a list of numbers and names that are important- doula, OB, pediatrician, insurance company, newborn photographer, church, and, of course, Mom!)
Roll over each image to learn more:
I was not paid for this post… I just love these goodies! (I did receive a headband from Bzzyfingers… and I cannot wait to buy some more for my sweet girls to match!)

Looks like you are ready to rock, mama! You’ve totally got everything covered.
Jennifer says
Right? All she’s missing is the kitchen sink.

Wishing you so much love and baby prayers!!!

Oh exciting that it’s getting close! I remember packing the hospital bag all three times. I always forgot something but it wasn’t ever anything super important. Just so long as I remembered the stuff for the baby I was happy.

RIGHT?! I just added some newborn diapers because our hospital only has size 1… and I’m looking for what else I need. Ummmm… just bring the darn car seat and you’re set!

I love that you keep a sentimental photo packed so you can have your father with you in the room. It’s always fascinating to see what matters to every birth story experience.
martinkadelux says
He’s always with me… I hope my girls grow up knowing how much I loved my own father because they have such an amazing one, too.

Dawn says
When I was pregnant, I found packing my bag to be extremely stressful! Since I only had one child, I didn’t know what I would need and what would be pointless!
martinkadelux says
Oh no! My first I had to bring stuff later (hubby went home)… I remember writing things down to remember next time!

That is a great list… I forgot my charger the last time and Hubby had to bring it the next day. Not fun having a dead phone and being unable to take photos… lol
martinkadelux says
That’s the worst!!!! We have so many chargers (in the car, back up pack in the diaper bag), that I hope we don’t run into that. I would probably break down!

I love this list. The only thing that I will add is a no-no, but let me tell you that after 35 hours of labor, I would sneak food into my bag and eat it when no one is looking. Haha — OK, maybe not, but the thought crossed my mind after giving birth to my son and being sooooo hungry! Your list is perfect.
martinkadelux says
I totally carry snacks with me everywhere. No one can tell me no 😉
