1. Clothes to Wear During Delivery and After Giving Birth

Comfy pj’s, a cozy robe, and fuzzy slippers are a must. You’re not going to want to wear that stiff hospital gown the whole time, so make sure you have some comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty and possibly throwing away after your stay at the hospital. Having cozy items like a robe and socks will make the cold hospital environment seem a little more comfortable. Plus, an open-front robe will make breastfeeding more convenient. Some expecting mothers opt to get a maternity hospital gown. Maternity hospital gowns have many benefits during labor and delivery. They can help mom feel beautiful, because they are often more stylish than a regular hospital gown. They can also take the place of an open-front robe for breastfeeding.

2. Camera, Phone, & Chargers

This is an extremely special moment that your are definitely going to want to document. If you’re planning to bring a camera, be sure to pack it in your bag, along with the necessary chargers, batteries, memory cards, etc. Also, make sure you have your phone and charger packed so you can send your family updates as you welcome your baby into the world!

3. Toiletries

After all that time in labor, you’re going to want to freshen up a bit before the visitors start rolling in and the camera comes out. Pack some face wipes, a toothbrush, hair brush, and any makeup you may want.

4. A Nursing Bra

A nursing bra, or a bra one size up from your pregnancy size for moms who plan on bottle feeding, is a necessity. You’re going to be nursing right away, so make sure you are prepared!

5. Games!

Baby may take its time coming into the world, so make sure you have some things to distract you while you wait. Whether it be your favorite magazine, a deck of cards, or your favorite series on Netflix, make sure you have something fun to pass the time.
