Packing for Your Hospital Stay
It's a good idea to have your bag packed early, since you never know exactly when you'll be heading to the hospital or birthing center. Here's a suggested list, but you know best what will make you comfortable. Leave some room for the freebies you'll get, too!
Important items
Photo ID, insurance information, copies of your birth plan, your phone and a charger (a long cord helps), and an installed infant car seat.
For you
Toiletries, lip balm, glasses or contacts, a loose nightgown or robe, slippers, socks, nursing bras and pads, maternity underwear and pads, and a comfortable outfit to wear home.
For comfort
Snacks and drinks, your favorite pillow, music, lotion, and something to read or a journal.
For your baby
An outfit to wear home. Bring a couple of sizes, just in case.
