Hospital Prep for the Type-A Lady: Part 2

With my out-of-town baby shower this weekend, I decided to take advantage of the opportunity and pack my hospital bag! Using several guides via Pinterest (you know you love it!), I have packed a bag perfect for staying in my particular hospital. 

To break it down, I have mommy stuff:


  • 2 pairs boxers
  • 6 pack granny panties
  • PJ pants
  • 2 nursing bras
  • 2 nursing camis
  • 2 loose, soft, cozy shirts
  • Jeans
  • Cozy T-Shirt
  • Nursing Pads
  • Cozy  robe
  • socks with no-slip grip
  • Mommy Tech stuff
    • Camera (fully charged battery, plus charging pack)
    • Charger for tablet/ cell phone
    • I will bring my tablet and cell, but both are consistently in my purse, so I didn't want them in the hospital bag. My playlist will be on my cell phone. 
  • Home Sweet Home stuff 
    • Blanket 
    • body pillow
    • aromatherapy reed diffuser in my favorite scent
    • lollipops (for a little sugar rush)
  • Bath stuff
    • yummy smelling shampoo/conditioner/body wash, etc
    • extra soft toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste
    • nail polish (want pretty nails for pics)
    • hair tie, as well as soft headband

  • Baby Info Folder (filled with your papers from Part 1)
  • My doula will have
    • honey sticks/other small snacks
    • massage ball
    • labor ball
    • aromatherapy oils
Of course, there is baby stuff too!
  • 2 outfits
  • Boppy
  • Hats (Rock Chalk!)
  • socks
  • stuffed giraffe
    • this giraffe will also be my designated pain crusher (aka: I will squeeze the crap out of this little guy during contractions)
Also, her carseat will be installed as soon as I hit week 32 and am done with baby showers/having to lug around stuff. I also have a bag of gifts for nurses and other staff/labor support (will share in a later post). 

Obviously, this list is different for everyone, but hopefully this is at least mildly helpful for some.
