Answer 3

Bring a basic set of things you think you'll need.

Changes of clothes, basic toiletries, the car seat for the ride home, clothes to change baby into, and then get on the road.  If you think you're in labor, the most important thing you should be thinking about right now is getting yourself to the hospital so baby can be taken care of.

Answer 4

I'm sorry but why are you on the computer go to the hospital. Your husband can come back later and bring your stuff.

Answer 5

Clothes, bathroom gear, favorite pillow (it really helps), CAR SEAT!!! diapers (even though most hospitals give you some), maybe a little bit of formula unless you'll be breastfeeding....

For clothes get really comfortable none restricting clothes... the ride home isn't all that fun...  And seriously bringing a pillow from home really does help you feel more comfortable.

Answer 6

A pair of clothes to wear home for yourself (something that you were able to fit at 5 months), a pair of old pj's (might get blood on them), a good book or magazine, your own soap, toothpaste, towels, deodorant, lotion, chapstick (for labor). For baby: Outfit to wear home, and for hospital pics, blankets, babies carseat. Thats all that is really NEEDED...Oh, shampoo and conditioner for washing your hair after delivery (you will feel really dirty after birth). Good luck to you and congrats. Remember all the pain you go through, the end result will be sooo worth it!
