What are the things i need to pack in my bag for labor?

Question

anything i need to take that i might not know?

Answer 1

I packed waaay to much when I did my hospital bag. Just the basics...

change of clothes

Nightgown (so ur not stuck in the hospital ones)

clean underwear (hospital underwear are gross)

socks & slippers

toiletries

makeup (it'll make you feel better)

chapstick

babyclothes

camera/camcorder

batteries

back massager (for labor)

movies or something to occupy ur time after birth

can't think of anything else off the top of my head...but good luck!!!

Answer 2

Pack what you think you will need. You  might be in the hospital for a few days so you want to pack for that long.

4-6 pair of underwear

bras

deoderant

you're own soap/body wash

comfy slippers

your comfy pillow

hair clips, brush, comb, twisties

toothbrush, toothpaste

clothes to leave the hospital with

baby first picture outfit

baby outfits, hats, booties. depending on when you have the baby

bring coat, gloves or whatever to keep warm

if it's going to be hot, still have like a one peice or multi layer clothes

perfume

socks, shoes

washcloth, towel... so you don't have to wait for the hospital to re-up

WHATEVER YOU THINK YOU NEED. BETTER TO OVER PACK THAN TO UNDERPACK.

Answer 3

hard candies, magazines, a large comfy robe and socks, focal point, brush and hairties, toiletries, camera

Answer 4

Best answer to this is anything you might want overnight to make you comfortable. Similar to what you might pack if going on vacation.

The only thing I would suggest that I forgot was a pillow 'cause hospital pillows suck, a couple of different outfits for baby (I only brought 2 and he dirtied both before I got him home) and chapstick!

I was in the hospital for 4 days after my c-section and I forgot so much I had to have my husband keep making trips home to get me stuff.

Answer 5

Socks, blankets, a little water spray bottle for your face, a fan, maybe some CDs (I was too distracted to listen to them), a few pairs of clothes, super heavy duty maxi pads, PRUNE JUICE (don't leave home without it!!!), deoderant, hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouth wash, camera, batteries, a comfy pillow (hospital pillows suck), and maybe a punching bag,... lol.

As for the baby, you'll need to bring a nail file (they are born with long finger nails), about 6 pairs of clothes, half newborn, half 1-3 months, hats, socks, receiving blankets, diapers, wipes, baby powder (just incase the hospital doesn't supply that), and lots of love!

Answer 6

I Way Overpacked! I didnt use most of the stuff i brought. The hospital had pretty much everthing i needed.  

Answer 7

diapers

wipes

receiving blankets (3-4)

newborn outfits

carseat (take it in with you so it's not sitting in a hot car)

adult diapers for you

--------------------------

This wasn't a subjective question here folks (whatever twits thumbed me down).  I am a father of two, and brought all of these things and more for both of my daughter's births.  

If you didn't bring or need some of those, that's fine, but the question was, in case you have difficulty reading, "what are the things i need to pack in my bag for labor?", and I amswered from my experience.
