The all important hospital bag

I've seen so many blogs about what people are packing in their hospital bags (How did we survive before Pinterest?) I felt I just had to contribute my own.

Now, keep in mind that I will have a scheduled induction so they can make sure I have all my clotting medications before labor, and will probably stay an extra day because of the bleeding disorder.

I won't be packing an outfit for me to go home in, I'm just gonna wear the same thing I came in. (The joys of scheduled deliveries) I'm planning to wear a tshirt and exercise capris. Sooo super comfy.


  • Coming home outfit for Ellie (one in Preemie, one in Newborn. I have small babies)
  • Blanket that Wyatt picked out for Ellie
  • sports bras for me (hopefully I can find nursing ones before then)
  • Baby's First Year journal so I can document emotional stuff while it's fresh (I love it, it has writing prompts so when my brain is mush from lack of sleep...)
  • Gift from Ellie to Wyatt
  • Picture of Wyatt
  • notepad and pen for any questions I may have
  • Uno (Wyatt's favorite card game. When he visits, I want to try to make a few minutes just for him)
  • Toiletries in travel sized bottles
  • lotion
  • camera
  • a pair of underwear to come home in (I am so using the disposable ones in the hospital.)
  • flip flops, so when I get out of bed I can slide them on. Might bring 2 pairs, one just for the shower
  • Hairbrush, headband, ponytail holder
  • drink packets...I hate plain water
  • iPod and speakers
  • Phone charger
  • tablet and charger
  • my own pillow (with a dark case so it stands out)
So there it is. The all important hospital bag list. I might add to it, but I think that covers everything.
