I'm not even sure I used anything from my bag!lol. I ended up having a csection after induction never worked. So I just wore the hospital gown. Let's be real.. Lots of blood and I didn't want to stain anything nice. Take the undies supplied..they don't look nice but they do the trick. Slippers, lip balm, snacks, going home outfit, 2 outfits for the baby, shampoo, hairbrush and elastics. You seriously don't need much. I had bought everything to nurse and my daughter was almost 9 lbs. Milk is delayed by like a week if you have a csection so I wasn't able to feed her so I had to quickly switch to formula. I would hold on buying so much nursing stuff. Even though you want to, unfortunately it doesn't work for everyone. Which is totally okay! My daughter is healthy and strong. Just my personal advice as I was then stuck with all this nursing stuff which can be expensive if you can't use it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11100861067770867024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035260473590038049.post-8861997552017270122016-02-29T21:21:55.111-06:002016-02-29T21:21:55.111-06:00I had a baby 3 months ago.

I was in bed rest for almost 2 days so I just wore the hospital gown. I only took a shower once because of it. Bring your own towel and pillow. Make sure your husband has his own pillow and a blanket. Mine was freezing at night and was sleeping under my robe and blankets. I drank SO MUCH water and my tiny little hospital jug was not big enough so I would bring a big insulated cup next time. Also take a hair dryer! I never used my robe - I just wore yoga pants with a tie waist, a tank top and a sweater. I wore sneakers - I felt so drugged up and unstable I felt like I needed a closed shoe. You will be shocked how big you still are and you get puffy so don't take clothes that are smaller than 6 months. For the baby you honestly don't need anything - just a few outfits if you want to play dress up!

I immediately got into my normal clothes almost as soon as I had my babies, that's how much I hate the hospital gowns! Ok, if there was one MUST HAVE to take, it's this nipple cream. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007CQ726/ref=mp_s_a_1_2_a_it?qid=1456797415&sr=8-2&keywords=motherlove&pi=SY200_QL40&dpPl=1&dpID=41yqYLBgRtL&ref=plSrch<br />SERIOUSLY! Don't take this suggestion lightly. 😜 The hospital stuff is terrible and everyone I've ever given or recommended this to has thanked me ;) Your nipples will thank you later. I always had two on hand so I could keep one at home or put one in the diaper bag. <br /><br />You look amazing. I'm so excited for you guys!!

Everyone always said to wear a gown verses top/bottom pj's but I was just more comfy in the latter. Snacks..you want to pack a few snacks for you & for Chris! Chapstick...I totally remember my lips getting so chapped.

Hospital towels are thin and tiny. I used 3 each shower to dry off!<br />-I LOVED the hospital undies! Never wore my own until I got home<br />-have your hubby bring his own pillow. They gave me 2 pillows and him only 1<br />-I wanted to wear my own clothes after the first day especially because hospital gowns are hard to keep closed when you have visitors 😬<br />-buy nursing tanks... Best purchase ever!<br />Good luck! Delivery was an incredible experience and being a mom is truly the best!!!!Tavia Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14563455865883989793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8035260473590038049.post-83097489010868232372016-02-29T08:56:47.776-06:002016-02-29T08:56:47.776-06:00Yay for almost being at Spring Break!

And Good that you are getting the laundry done now...I figured I would wait till after I went on maternity leave to do it, and then we had a small scare with high blood pressure, and I realized I shouldn't wait for maternity leave to get stuff done, haha! Oh and the hospital bag...you seriously don't need much. Tooth brush, toothpaste, face wash/cream, shampoo stuff (I was able to take a shower, which was really nice) and your going home outfit and baby going home outfit...I didn't want to change into my own PJ's because I didn't want to ruin them with blood and stuff. So I just used the hospital gown and the granny undies they give you, haha. Plus I lived close to the hospital too, so hubby just went home to get stuff for me.Foxy's Domestic Sidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17349449371975937570noreply@blogger.com
