How exciting! :)
for the hospital you should pack light.
But just the essentials:
you:
night gown (2, just incase the other gets
soiled)
robe (hospitals are cold)
slippers/socks
hair tie
good brush
tooth brush/soap (hospital paste/soap is
gross)
outfit to go home / for visitors (with
elastic waist!)
baby:
2 onesies
2 outfits
2 baby blankets
1 cap
2pr socks/booties
car seat (you can't leave hospital without
one, and if you forget they won't let you
have one)
also:
camera
address book if you're going to call
anyone
otherwise depending on when you're going
home, you should be fine :)

You dont need anything for the baby, the
hospital will give you plenty.
Take a little make up for photos
slippers
hair clip to hold your hair back
pads, the hospital will probably give you
plenty, you cant wear tampons.
Uhmmm..Take some hard candy to keep your
mouth from getting dry.
Etc etc blah blah
you get it

and how many babies was it that you had
again?
When you leave the hospital do you think
that they give you some sort of gift
basket of carter's and osh kosh? You get
hospital pads, sitz bath, gauze, and tote
socks. There is nothing given to you for
the baby. Sure if you want to put your
baby in a cheap thin little t-shirt with
suchnsuch hospital stamped on the front of
it. And a crappy hospital diaper. And
what about a car seat? Is she supposed to
argue with the hospital staff when she
tries to leave with out one? That's a
state law dear.
And if you take a "little make up" for
photos. (even though you most likely will
be so tired, you won't want to put on
makeup) what is she supposed to wear in
bed? The jeans she came in? What about a
night gown to sleep in? A robe?
Hospitals have a temp they maintain at
below 60 deg to keep from germs spreading.
So she's supposed to just throw on the
jacket she came in also? And does she
want to go home in the same outfit she
came in as well?
Yea dacia, you're right...No one needs to
bring anything. Just a tube of concealer
and a hair brush. That's why smart
couples have a hospital bag pre-packed and
ready.
:roll: I can't wait until you have your
first baby...You swear to god that you
know everything, over there with a 25 week
old fetus for experience.

Lol... June
with all that has been said above I would
say to also bring magazines (sometimes
labour can be boring and long)
i think its really important to bring a
video camera. Borrow one if you dont
have one but I think that your child would
appreciate having it in the future. I
mean I know that your probably never going
to watch it really but it's so nice to
have. I think that its a good investment
for when your baby growing up too.
Also I think bring a good pillow from
home.
Good luck girl!!

Here's what you should bring: from
ivillage
1. A nightgown, if desired -- some women
prefer to wear the hospital gown. If you
do bring your own, and are nursing, wear
one that opens easily.
2. Socks or slippers
3. An extra pillow or two and a favorite
blanket. Hospital bedding can be scarce.
4. Your favorite personal care items --
flavored lip gloss, makeup, toothbrush,
toothpaste, shampoo, hairbrush, deodorant
and body lotion. Be prepared for the
photo opportunities.
5. A focal point -- perhaps a photograph
that comforts you.
6. Snacks -- your labor partner may not
get an opportunity to leave the room.
Many hospitals will feed you, but not your
partner. And don't forget some healthy
snacks for you (in case the food is as bad
as everyone warned).
7. Cd player and your favorite cds
8. Mindless reading material and/or a
deck of cards -- just in case you are in
for a long wait.
9.Camera -- with several rolls of indoor
film if you're not using a digital camera.
You may also want to bring a video camera
with an extra battery pack.
10. Health insurance card and photo id
11. An extra set of clothes that are
loose-fitting. Most women leave the
hospital looking (temporarily) like they
are about four months pregnant.
12. Undies.
13. Nursing bras and nursing pads, if you
are breastfeeding.
14. One newborn outfit for your baby. If
it's cold, bring your own receiving
blanket. Diapers will be provided.
15. Baby car seat -- your baby will not
be released without one. Read the manual
before leaving for the hospital.
16. The phone number of your pediatrician
and a lactation consultant.
17.Spare change for hospital vending
machines.
18. An extra duffel bag to bring home
gifts from visitors, or free hospital
items.
Hope these help you out!

Wow that's a cool list. I like #6/#17
that's true!
Where me and dh were when we had our son
was on top of a really large hill in a
sort of medical 'community' there weren't
any places to grab food within walking
distance. And he was scared to leave just
incase he missed something ;x

My hospital gave me a list of stuff to
bring including a full pack of diapers,
pads for me, my pillow, clothes, baby
stuff, etc.... I ended up being there
longer though and having my bf go home and
have to get stuff for me and our son.
Find out from your doc or the nurse at
your next appt what you should bring.
Soem hosp's suppply stuff and some don't
and like someone else said you don't want
too much as it's pain to leave with a lot
of stuff. Plus you'll prob have more
thna when you came in cause of gifts and
the baby of course-lol

I dont like to be judged & dont like
to be told what the hospital in my state
does give and doesn't when I know from
experience & she doesn't.
Like i've mentioned in a previous post,
people who judge other people and what
happens in their state are retarded.
