#BuiltToBirth - Jak na to + styl
Idk why but I love when you call us mamas. It’s so endearing
agreed! it’s like her signature. it’s super cute lol 💕
Me too!
Omg me tooooo. I just smile and cry and feel so loved!
As a soon to be father, I also love being called mama.
It’s a pretty common term for nurses, doulas, and midwives to use when speaking to mothers or mothers to be. I’ve experienced it with many nurses myself and I have to agree it does have a nice ring to it ☺️
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.
1. Birth plan
2. Water bottle with a straw
3. Snacks (protein bars, nut bars, dry fruits)
4. Slippers or comfy socks
5. Long cord phone charger
6. Push playlist
7. Lip balm
8. Your own pillow
9. Eye mask and ear plugs
10. Hair ties
11. Birth ball
12. Mints/chewing gums for your partner
13. Night light
14. Essential oils
15. Gel nipple pads & lanolin
16. Toiletries for you and your partner
17. Nursing bras or camis
18. Belly band
19. Leggings or sweatpants
20. Baby’s going home outfit
21. Yourself
Half of the list could be preferential but def not essential. Also is the hospital in a jungle and the partner can't take a trip to and fro or there ain't any shops around - most hospitals have gift shops and pharmacies. Point is, enough of this hospital bag essential madness. Even of the mom goes empty handed, I am sure she can get the job done.
Thank you for taking the time to list everything out, Nabeela! :)
sarasanic umm then don’t watch the video?
I love the list, pads need to be added to the list for some mum's cos not all hospitals provide them!
sarasanic ....most hospitals are not letting you come and go due to covid. Also, it’s extremely beneficial to some to feel prepared and comfortable. You do what feels right for you, and leave the judgement of others behind!
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.
my partner is super supportive if me but because he already has a son, he thinks he knows everything he needs to know about pregnancy, birth, and newborns but I really wish he would go out of his way to learn more about natural birth and what not because I feel like I tell him something new about birth that he didn't know every day.
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.
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
I’m having my third baby in may & I’m still watching these videos like I have no idea what to bring 😂
Taylor lol same here! My third baby is due any day and I’m watching these as a refresher.
Taylor same here due with my third baby girl in July! My husband picks on me when he sees me watching these types of videos.
xD
Hooo same here 👋
😅😅😅😅
Me currently. I literally had a baby last year and I’m still struggling with what to pack with this baby. & it’s also my 3rd 🤦🏽♀️
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 👌
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
I heard that you should just take your birth class before 37 weeks - if anyone out there reads this, it's usually not too late!
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 !!
Yesss! She's awesome! I also really like Nurse Zabe, because she gives a similar yet very different point of view on these things!
LOVE the map behind your bed!! Your decor is so lovely!
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.
Loved #21. I’ve been stressed about all things that I might forget, but bringing your mindset and heart is the most important thing ❤️
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
You have helped me so much with all of your videos, I can't thank you enough. Praying for you and your family! May God bless you abundantly
This is one of the most useful lists that i've seen so far, thank you
Make sure socks have grips at the bottom to prevent slips. Also be sure that your personal pillow isn’t white so it doesn’t get mixed up with the hospital ones!
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.
Best list I’ve seen on this so far (I’ve seen ALOT). 👌🏾
The most comfortable and easy outfits, post delivery, for the hospital stay , for myself were maxi sun dresses , long cardigans, button down tee shirts or button down Pajama tops, loose hospital scrub pants and flip flops.
I'm repacking my hospital bag now! Thank you.
You should do a video on what a support person should bring to a birth center
Bridget is such a blessed and intelligent woman!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm 13 and literally just started to wonder what pregnancy is like and this is one of the first things that popped up!! Lol!💖💖
Oh my gosh I love the map on your wall.. beautiful
Wow I am impressed by the list because as a 2nd time mom I know i needed these things the 1st time but I didn't know then now I am prepared
Loved this video, especially the last thing on this list! Your videos have been so encouraging and helpful for me as I’m approaching my due date!! 30 weeks tomorrow 🙌🏽🤍 much love to ya!
Thanks for mentioning snacks! Three of my babies were born in the evening after the hospital kitchen was closed, and I was soooo hungry! They had things like graham crackers on hand, but it was just not enough! I definitely don’t want to forget snacks this time, especially since I won’t have a birth partner with me.
Depends adult diapers for postpartum.
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!!
I’m having baby #5 but having a hospital birth is a new experience. Thank you for sharing.!!
Make sure its okay with the nurses before using essential oils. One of our L&D nurses where I work is very allergic to lavender and someone was using it and the nurse had to be moved to a totally different section of labor and delivery and couldnt even go in the room with a different patient 2 days later.
That’s so good to know! Always important to ask first!
I am planning on using one of those necklaces that you can put essential oils in so I keep it to myself. I work at the hospital I plan to give birth at. We have rules against highly fragranced perfumes and lotions for this exact reason.
Yes, never use essential oils in a hospital. It could kill another patient, the medical personal, or even an infant. Allergies are no joke
Thank you! Great list
I brought my own pillow to my second and it came in handy with positioning. I'm due any day now with my third and I had totally forgotten about that! Tossing it in my bag now :)
CAR SEAT! Not in your bag but can't leave without this! It's like the top thing I'm panicked about right now haha
Depending on the hospital or your insurance, a car seat might be included. Maybe double check.
@@rebeccavaughn8897 thats insane lol I'd love to know which hospital or insurance you're suggesting gives out free car seats..... that does not happen in the US for sure.
@@winterrrsea1674 My sister had her baby about five years ago at a regular hospital in Los Angeles County. I'd rather not go into personal deals. Hopefully this helps.
@@rebeccavaughn8897 Lmao okay. I didn't ask for anything personal? And I don't know why you're making this up. People don't get free car seats in this country. Please don't spread fake information, people might rely on this if they see it here and this simply doesn't happen.
@@winterrrsea1674 By "personal details" I was referring to things like the date or her insurance plan which she probably doesn't want shared on the internet.
I really don't know if it was her insurance plan or the hospital itself which got her the free car seat. Also in large urban centers like LA there are a lot of programs that give things to people who make under a certain amount of money. So it could have been that. I really don't know.
When I asked my mom about a car seat, she said "The hospital is providing that." And sure enough, my sister was given a car seat when she and baby were released.
My suggestion would be to call up the hospital and ask what things will be provided. That way, you will have fewer surprises.
Can you make a review about Frida Mom postpartum products ? What do you think about them ? Thanks
This was awsome, thank you so much 🤰❤️🥰
I'm due in December and I got a big fuzzy bathrobe just for this occasion!
Great video! Would you do a video on your top ten recommendations for good to eat while laboring?
For me biggest thing was stress balls and fidgets to squeeze and fiddle with during contractions
Loveeeee all ur videos 💯 keep em coming!
I am pregnant women I need water bottle with a is satw
I think definitely after birth pads and breastfeeding pads (some hospitals provide those but better to have your own just in case), and maybe a breast pump, or if you’re not going to breastfeed- definitely formula and bottles
Lol i find these long lists funny cause i went to the hospital in pushing phase, my husband carried me from the bed to the car in my gown and all i had was my slippers and a jacket. And honestly didn't even need anything, they give you everything that's actually important.
I agree, you did not need it.
Most things on this list are to provide you comfort during all your stages of labor. And as a 3rd time mom, I can attest that they are very helpful. “Important” is a very variable word.
I pretty much have packed everything on the list, I just watched this great video to see if I forgot something. In my experience for all the mamas that aren’t getting carried in the hospital while baby’s head is already crowning, I fully support this list.
Next video....Baby bag please!!! I’m due in 3 weeks and have been watching your videos non stop everyday, I love everything you say and feel comfortable with you
Mabybe hot compress would help as well 😊
I loved the video, it was very helpful. However, can you tell me where you got that background of the world map? Is it wallpaper, a hanging? My fiancé loved it and I would love to get something like this for our bedroom.
Random question but I love your wallpaper. Can you tell me where you got it? Thanks 😊 it’s beautiful, I love your deco style. 😍
super helpful
water bottle with me at hospital slippers brith plan relaxing music helps me 😊
Add Pads! Post-natal pads :) lots of bleeding after birth
great list thanks
The Depends works so much better. Trust me. Always Discreet Boutique Incontinence & Postpartum Incontinence Underwear for Women - Maximum Absorbency Game changer
First!, Thanks for these videos!! Secondly, can you please tell me where you got that wall map. I want one for the nursery
Do you have any recommendations for belly bands?
Love your channel! May I ask where you got your mural on your wall?
Dont forget the baby carseat!!!
I'm not even in your state. I would love you as my doula!
I went into false labor last night at 34 weeks and rushed to the hospital. We have nothing packed and just got up and went in the middle of the night. I was in tears because I didn't have a hair tie
Thanks for all the suggestions- very helpful!! What essential oils do you suggest?
Stephanie Chiappetta clary sage, peppermint,lavender
I give birth within 1:30mins of entering the hospital or less. It’s messy, cos I just need time to throw up, have my water broken or it breaks and push time. Let’s see what happens in this one. I leave within 12hours of giving birth and the nurse comes to my home the next couple of days (I don’t like hospitals and early release is an option we have in Ireland).
Cool background.
Literally just needed my toothbrush, frida wipes, change of clothes for u n baby. Totally over packed. Glad I packed sandles though cause i arrived on a strecher with no shoes or even pants lol. And it was covid so you couldnt leave to get anything.
This video helped my nerves a lot
I'm so glad!!
Hmm 🤔 interesting, I was induced with my first in 2020 and wasn’t allowed any food/snacks at all during labor. I was given only liquids till I gave birth. My husband felt bad eating our snacks we brought since I couldn’t have any but I told him too anyway:)
I felt sooo hungry by the end! 😅that first meal afterwards tasted incredible 😆😋
Do you still have a link for the gel breast pads?
Also the hospital provides a lot for you. Don’t overdue it.
Where is the gel pads link ? I liked your list my number one is chapstick
It is in the description of the video. - amzn.to/2I7xf1T
What essential oils would you recommend to use during labor?
Clary sage can help sync up contractions. Bergamot is a great citrus scent that is calming, but if you want energy then grapefruit is nice. I'll also have lavender and frankincense on hand for calming options. It really depends on the individual, you know when you're in labor by opening the bottle and smelling, you'll likely choose depending on your mood. Remember that things in the mint family inhibit milk production.
Can you link to a bag that can fit all of this stuff?
Would i still need all of these if i am
Planning on laboring at home for as long as possible?
The links in the description are not working to the Amazon store.
Can I suggest packing a bidet bottle too.Very practical after birth,esp if hospital doesn't have bidets.
Found mine online
My hospital bag is a full suitcase.
Birth plan of course.
Personal satin pillow and a small blanky
Hair ties, scarves and a sleep mask😍
A small makeup kit
Long phone cord
Slippers for my partner, rubber bottom socks for me, slippers
A diffuser and lemon grass essential oil
A eucalyptus candle and warmer
Fairy lights, tape and faux candles
3 baby outfits
A frida mom labor gown for early labor before things get messy.
A cute Lila delivery gown for once baby arrives
One outfit for me to go home in.
My actual breast pump so the lactation nurse can show me how to use it.
Nipple cream and covers
My Moby carrier so I can be shown how to do it.
3 lollipops
My baby book to work on as a distraction
Belly band
I would add a baby album to record the baby’s weight, footprint m, etc
Literally the only things I used were my brush, my hair ties, snacks and water bottle. Though they gave me one there anyway.
Plus clothes to go home in.
Go ahead and make your partner a list too.
Keep in mind first time Mums that it all depends where you are. In USA you pay to give birth and so hospital provides a lot. In UK you need to pack absolutely everything yourself including nappies, pads ect. Also they allow snacks and don't make you starve chewing on ice 😋
The usa may provide lots but they charge us for it, sadly.
@@junglepitts but usually covered with inaurance...even if you pay out of pocket (about $4,000) all this would be included. It ia for me. I am paying out of pocket and it includes the hot tub and a birthing ball and everything in between.
In the UK they provide us with almost everything x
When do you recommend we pack our bags?
Definitely before your last month! Or as your going into your last month, start getting things together just in case baby decides to pop early :)
What size do I get for the birthing ball there are many sizes. Please help.
The manufacturer should have directions for sizing in description of product if there are multiple sizes. If it's anything like a regular pilates/yoga ball, which I'm sure it is, then it most likely goes by height. I used to be the manager of a sporting goods store so we sold a lot of exercise balls and that was always the system.
I couldn't find the link for gel pads
elenkarina1 in Australia it’s the “RiteAid Hydrogel Breast pads” and they are AMAZING!! if you google that it might give you some options available in your country.
This is probably pretty excessive honestly but thats coming from someone naturally very minimalist. But from the perspective of someone induced with a preemie told to expect a longer hospital stay, this just still seems excessive. I was there 6 days and packed: breast pump, charging block and 2 cords, 3 nursing tanks, 6 pairs socks, hoodie, sweats, a preemie and a nb outfit, baby hats, car seat and cover, 3 baby bottles, bottle brushes, tooth brush. That was excessive for my 6 day stay, i didnt need the nb outfit, the hats were too big and also they provide them, dont need to bring a tooth brush bc they supply them(and i lost my electric one there), didnt need the bottles because i wasnt pumping anything to save and they give you medela vials, didnt need the hoodie or sweats bc i just wore the same ones i came in with, didnt need the socks bc hospital gives them. Bring a sturdy empty bag for all the free stuff, we used a plastic bag but it was awkward to carry and heavy. Bringing a duffle bag with the next to carry my few things and the free stuff. Dont be afraid to ask for the free stuff, insurance covers it and they throw it away when you leave anyways and they gladly help out with any extras you may need(diapers, formula, wipes, pacis, swaddles, tees, pads and disposable underwear, toiletries etc). I personally left with 6 packs of preemie diapers and 2 preemie swaddles because i only had nb of both on hand at home and my baby was 4lbs. They gave us formula too but we didnt use it bc my baby couldnt drink it, but the pediatrician gave us formula too the first several visits.
Thank you for the list! And good tip on the breath mints, I wouldn't want my wife kicking me out lol 😂
What about for a delivery inside a birth center?
I'd say check to see what they birth center offers first! Birth centers are definitely more homey so you might not want everything mentioned in this video, but still might want things that will make you most comfortable!
Car seat!
I live in the UK and am 36 weeks tomorrow. I've packed my bag, but just wondering if anyone else knows if you need to bring your own Nappies and wipes for the baby? They're taking up so much space in my bag, and was just wondering if it was necessary lol. Thanks in advance
Rachel Leitch you definitely do need to bring your own. Pack a 30 pack and water wipes or cotton wool. Babies first poo is very sticky. Back in the day you didn’t have to but now you definitely do. I had my son almost 3 years ago and I only got the maternity pads free.
In the US most hospitals provide basically everything for baby but not sure about the UK 🤔 I will not be packing anything for baby other than some clothes, a carseat and a few diapers/wipes for when I'm at my mom's after and the trip home. though, if there's a certain brand of anything you want to use then you should probably bring them anyhow.
I’m in the US and haven’t given birth yet but from what I’ve heard they will provide those here. Calm your hospital/ask your doc tho.
The only thing my doctors would allow me to eat were ice and popsicles so I couldn’t bring snacks ..
Did you go to a hospital that had a lot of students? The two hospitals near me are completely different because one is right by a college ans have alot of students and they rarely allow anything for your own comfort but the other one is really focused on your comfort and dont have many students
Pack the snacks for later, after delivery. You never know when you're going to be hungry and if the kitchen is closed/under staffed you don't want to be stuck with vending machine junk.
You forgot one important thing: baby car seat😛 haha
With the virus going on is it still ideal to bring anything from home as far as a hospital bag?
Maybe ask your hospital if there’s anything you shouldn’t/can’t bring. Most if not all hospitals aren’t allowing moms to walk around the unit so house shoes may not be as necessary if you have socks and you’re just walking around your room. Post delivery stays are also being reduced so you may not want to have so many multiples. I’m not really bringing things that are difficult to clean after going home, so if I do take a pillow it will be older ones that we won’t keep and am taking a hard suitcase instead of a cloth duffle
My doctor said to keep the bag in the car and once ur moved to ur post labor room THEN u can bring it up
justine thanks that’s what I was thinking too wasn’t sure if my husband would be able to in & out or if we’d be stuck inside the hospital the whole time lol I meet w my new dr next week so I’ll ask
What’s the difference between a doula and a midwife?
A doula helps comfort and support a woman during labor. A midwife delivers the baby and provides prenatal care
Like the other commenter said, midwives are nurses or nurse practitioners trained to deliver babies and provide prenatal care. Doulas are there to provide support for laboring mom's most often those who have a natural unmedicated delivery.
Doulas also provide that support post partum as well ❤
What about for the baby? Don't you need blankets, more clothes, diapers, etc?
Most hospitals provide blankets, diapers and wipes with enough for you to take home. You can call L&D and ask since they probably aren’t doing tours right now. Really only 1-2 baby outfits for going home because you’ll be changing diapers and doing skin to skin as much as possible.
Do other hospitals actually allow snacks? My hospital only allowed me clear liquids like broth. Went for 38 hours without food with my first because my labor stalled out 😭 I swear pure adrenaline is the only thing that let me push out baby because I was not fueled by any calories.
They can't actually stop you 🤷♀️
I always read "snacks" but with my son, I was induced and couldn't eat for over 24 hours.
You weren’t allowed to eat? Or just couldn’t eat?
@@gingersnapsbc in my hospital the minute you're hooked into pitocin you're no longer allowed to eat. But if you're induced, you can't eat from midnight the night before. So I didn't eat for over 24 hours.
Ashley Wilson Vick brutal! How did everything go?
@@gingersnapsbc just fine -- this is normal practice for much of the country!
Snacks are nice to have after the baby is born as well. 👌 I've had two babies and both of the times snacks weren't needed during the labour.
What about a car seat?
Water bottle with straw
Snacks dried fruits
Socks for mama slippers
Charger long cord
Push play list(music 🎶)
Lip balm
Own pillow
Eye mask
Ear plugs
Hair ties
Birth ⚽ ball
Mints gums
Night light
Essential oils
Gel nipples pads
Tooth brush
Makup wipes
Nursing bras
Belly band
As a vegan, I avoid Lanolin. Is there a vegan alternative?
skinandsenses.com/collections/pregnancy/products/beyond-nipple-soothing-cream-1
I bought period disposable underwear because I know all my hospital provides is mesh undies and giant pads. Make sure your partner has essentials for an overnight stay ours makes them sleep on an uncomfortable cot
It doesn't go in your bag, but very important:
Don't forget you have to have a carseat to go home with baby!
If you are having a home birth... DO NOT UNPACK YOUR HOSPITAL BAG UNTIL BABY IS BORN!
We started unpacking and using things during labor and ended up getting rushed to the hospital at 9cm dilated and were missing so much stuff
And dun forget de most important is de Bambi
In Mexico, this list is useless. Wish we could bring all of this. You can’t birth a plan to the hospital, nurses and doctor would laugh at you !
Y eso? Por que?
I love your videos. Just hate it when you call the audience mamas.
I find it endearing and hope you don’t stop saying it 😊
