      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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    Make sure its okay with the nurses before using essential oils.

      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.

    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 😆😋

    • @raylingomen2562
      @raylingomen2562 Před 2 lety

      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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    • @4evalilstar
      @4evalilstar Před 4 lety +2

      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
