Magazines or a book you would enjoy
deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash or whatever you like to shower with. The hospital I went to provided them, but they were cheap
Bathrobe, slippers, and nighty, one that opens in the front if you plan to BF
Birth announcements?
Gum or candy, my mouth got so dry
Camera
Calling card, if your family is long distance from the hospital,
clothes to go home in. I wore the ones I was admitted in, as I still had a tummy
This is all I can think of now, I'm drawing a blank. Geez it was only 3 weeks 4 days ago

i packed:

- hard candies
- a soft comfy robe
- a few comfy t-shirts
- sweat pants
- movies
- slippers
- toothbrush
- travel sized toothpaste, face wash, shampoo/conditioner, & body wash
- magazines
- my pillow from my bed
- my laptop
- phone & phone charger
- a list of people to call
- chapstick
- my makeup bag
- bobby pins & hair-ties

& i of course packed .gabe's diaper bag & brought a few blankets for him. along with a few outfits & onesies & diapers. just in case.

Not that i've had my bubbs yet but one extra thing i'm planning on taking with me apart from the obvious is an ipod full of songs that can calm me etc when it gets really bad

man, i was in so much agony that i don't think any amount of music would've helped me, lol.

Well in honesty it's to drown out .Dom sh*t jokes

lol!

heh ive been wondering this exact same thing, i already have valkyries bag all ready, i know what i need for her

i just cant figure out what i want/need to bring for me

~alicia~

Arn't you like behind me or am i imagining that? I'm planning on writing a list of what i'm going to take and buying things like sanitary towels and breast pads etc at 35 weeks then pack our bag at 37 week apart from camera and ipod obviously

im 35 weeks tomarrow, i was trying to wait another week or two, but i have a bit of ocd and i have to have it ready, my mind just keeps going over the "what if she comes early" thing, ive had her bag packed since i was like 28 weeks, i just keep adding little things, ive never really been too concerned about stuff for me though lol

~alicia~

Ahh sorry i thought you were behind me

meh no big deal, too many pregnant ladys here to keep track of lol

~alicia~

I brought a photo of my oldest child when I went to have my second. I took lavender essential oil and some meditation and yoga music on my MP3 player. I also packed an extra outfit for my husband, because I knew he would forget and then be messy with baby goo and afterbirth, and then he'd want to leave me to go change. I took movies to watch with baby #1 because I figured I would want some distraction early on, and I had to be induced, so I had to be there for the whole thing. For baby #2 I never had time for anything.

What stuff do you pack for the baby? lol I've been thinking about this already, how many baby gro's do you pack? vests? mittens?

I've asked my sister the same thing. This is what she did:
3 sleepsuits
3 babygros
Scratch mittons
Socks or booties
2 outfits
Hat
Bottles if you're bottle feeding (this depends on your hospital, they could supply milk and bottles but each one is different)
Nappies
Wipes
Urrm that's all i can remember at the moment i'm sure i've proberly missed something out though lol

lol okie dokie. so far i have two little baby baby gro's with matching vests, mittens, hat and bibs for the very first outfits to take in my hospital bag as when i went for my 12 week scan they said the baby looked much smaller than s/he should've been but that its common in people our age. so to buy some little baby things.

i'm sorry, i don't really know what baby gro's or vests are.

but this is what i packed for my baby... 2 sleepers, 2 onesies, a hat, a blanket, a pacifier, a couple diapers and wipes.

my hospital provided diapers and wipes and bottles of pre-made formula. they also kept him dressed in a long sleeve shirt and diaper and swaddled all the time, so i didn't bring clothes for him to wear in the hospital. i just brought the 2 sleepers, 1 to wear home and 1 in case he soiled the first one. i think i had mittens but forgot about them, he scratched his face as we were pulling out of the parking lot.

now my bag was a different story, i had a ton of stuff. everyone's already listed the important stuff, i'll just repeat bring your own pillow.

babygros are what you call onesies
