What will I forget to pack?

[Andi98989]

The only things I really used of my own were:
shampoo
toothbrush/paste
brush
soap
lip balm

I didn't get dressed until we left to come home. At that point I just wore out the same clothes that I wore in (induction).

I overpacked for myself and DH brought a ton of stuff back home the second night.

I did pack a change of clothes for him which was handy. Otherwise it was the standard camera, chargers, laptop, etc... The hospital gave us plenty of snacks and beverages.

Music. And objects to focus on during labor (unles you're having a c-section).

LOL, this was my situation exactly. I forgot the books. But, thanks to this board, nothing else!

here are the things I found I couldn't live without:
-a good shampoo, conditioner, bodywash and lotion for me
-pj shorts and s/l top
-slip-in slippers
-nicer nursing top for pictures
-small notepad and pen for jotting things down (memories, ideas, "honey do"s, etc.)
-things to eat for constipation easing (tmi, sorry)

GL and let us know how everything goes!

Your own maxi pads if your are particular like me and don't like the ones the hospital provides!

Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to hear the great news!

Lotion!! It is very dry in this hospital and I am having DH slather me with lotion when I get out of the shower.

MAKE SURE the camera card is in the camera! (DH took ours out while I was laboring at home, and I grabbed the camera not realizing that.)

Maybe lighter weight PJs with buttons for nursing. I brought long sleeves, and couldn't wear them b/c they kept the room warm for the baby.

And something for baby to wear for hospital photos.

Best wishes for tomorrow!

I always suggest shower shoes of some kind in these threads.

Good luck tomorrow and congrats!!!!
