Hospital Bags

[BethMaassen]

I am now 34 + 2 weeks pregnant and the stress of getting things ready is really wearing on me. I have constructed a list of things I will need to pack for the Hospital.

On top of things for myself and baby I have listed things for my DD, who I am insisting be there with us, and my husband.

I was wondering if I am overlooking anything? Or if I am bringing too much? >Hospital will supply me with pads and diapers for baby during my stay. <

** I have everything for Baby (Moira) packed already, and most of the things for myself. I also need to make sure to supply my family with food. Because hospital won't, and we can not afford multiple cafeteria visits a day. (I am planning for 4 days - worse case scenario)

I didn't even use half of my stuff Friday. I for sure over packed. Especially on baby items. The first night i kept baby in her diaper because i wanted to do lots of skin to skin during the night.

First - Congratulations!!

As far as baby items go. Hospital staff will have a go at me if I leave baby undressed for a long period of time. I did with DD, and they got on me for it. Not to mention I do not know how long I will be there.

With DD, I was there for about 6 days, and 3 of those were after my EMCS. At my last prenatal appointment my doctor mad a point to tell me I may be there for a few days - But she has pretty much already decided my VBAC will fail and I will end up with another EMCS.
