BREATH MINTS. A BOOK OR ITEM FOR VISITORS TO SIGN. A CAMERA. CAR SEAT WITH THE LITTLE HEAD HARNESS PILLOW IN IT. ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT TO GET THE LITTLE ONES' FOOTSIES PRINTED ON (WHEN DOING THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE). I BROUGHT EACH OF MY GIRLS A BLANKET WITH THEIR NAMES EMBROIDERED ON THEM AND GOT THEIR FOOTPRINTS PRINTED ABOVE THE NAME. NOW THEY ARE STORED AWAY FOR KEEPSAKES. BREATH MINTS. THE USUAL HYGIENE THINGS. DEODORANT, TOOTHBRUSH, TOOTHPASTE, HAIRBRUSH, ETC. A SMALL MIRROR FOR YOUR BEDSIDE TABLE (SO YOU DON'T HAVE FOOD IN YOUR TEETH WHEN VISITORS ARRIVE). BREATH MINTS. A GOOD LIP MOISTURIZER. (MY LIPS DRIED OUT FROM ALL THE PANTING AND BREATHING DURING THE DELIVERY). AND DID I MENTION BREATH MINTS?
CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST OF LUCK -- AGAIN!!!

Well, as the hospital will supply maxi pads, slipper socks, diapers, wipes and blankets, I would just bring the other stuff..lol Why use up your own things? The hospital will charge you for them, regardless.
Congrats and good luck!

Leave the diapers, wipes & maxi pads at home - use the hospital ones. They're being charged to your insurance. You only need one outfit and a blanket to take the baby home in. I took a travel kit with a razor, shave cream, deo, lotion, toothbrush, comb (hairbands for long hair), head to toe baby soap (for me as soap/shampoo), also take more then one gown just in case. I packed sugarless gum, bag of twizzlers candy, chocolate for my man, roll of quarters for snack machine, comfy pants, clean socks/undies to come home in and Oh yeah Dont forget the carseat. I had my fourth and last baby last March (tubes tied now). Congrats!! Third times the charm.
I also took a robe! Other patients were jealous of that and yes all this stuff fit in one bag

bring a magazine if you are not having you baby room in with you. I let my baby sleep in the nursery because I knew it would be my last night of somewhat peaceful sleep (aside from the nurses that kept coming in) and its a good thing I did because my now 5 1/2 month old was colic and screamed for the first 4 1/2 months of her life!

From my journey sufferers celebrate with something to do better than receiving plants (that are also favored through both adult males and females individuals). A crossword/puzzle e book, a puzzle, magazines or books of interest. As a deal with you may want to comprise some sugar loose puzzling goodies which maximum sufferers can celebrate with no matter if or not they don't seem allowed to eat or drink (examine with their nurse earlier giving them to the affected human being please). the large kind one ingredient that individuals celebrate with at the same time as in the well-being facility: a at the same time as. If in any respect able, bypass visit and chat with them or call them, this may develop their spirits better than something.

Your list sounds great. You might want to consider bringing something that you like to snack on. I found after I finally had my baby I was starving. Seems like whatever they brought me just didn't get it.
Good luck!

My wife insisted on an unlimited supply of Jolly Rancher candies. She was biting on them all through the labor and delivery!
