She's probably going to have to have a c-section..... any special things she'll need for that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-231187 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:23:36 +0000 kokobee 231187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it's a great idea :)!</p> <p>cute socks, lotion, spa neck/shoulder pillow (the ones you can throw in the microwave to warm up), eye mask...? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-231156 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 12:08:18 +0000 photojane 231156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>love this idea! i think the hair ties, water bottle, magazines, and snacks are all good ideas. maybe you could put some witch hazel pads in there as well. most expectant mothers don't think of that, but i think it would be nice for her to have afterwards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-231142 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:58:43 +0000 matador84 231142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a friend who did this and it was so cute!

My doula used lavender essential oil spritz in the room to cover the stink of labour too, it was really calming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-230883 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 09:10:54 +0000 LuLu Mom 230883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is a cute idea, I plan on doing something like this for DH's cousin. I plan on doing a baby gift and a momma gift. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-230856 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:47:59 +0000 Weagle 230856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! My BFF did this for me and it was awesome! She filled a Carter's tote with snacks, travel sized toiletries, ponytail holders, MadLibs, crossword puzzles, fun socks, a couple pair of cute panties, a small canvas for LO's foot/hand print, a wetbag, and a hospital bag packing checklist... One of the best gifts I recieved! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-230854 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:47:34 +0000 looch 230854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Magazines?

A little gift basket for the mommy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-shower-gift-hospital-survival-kit#post-230829 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:23:58 +0000 heffalump 230829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL already had a baby shower that I helped throw, and I already got her a gift. She's having another baby shower that I'm going to this weekend, and I don't want to show up to it empty handed, but I really can't afford anything big because I've already spent a lot on her, so I was thinking of getting some things that she'll use in the hospital like snacks and hair ties. Good idea or no? Any ideas on what I can put in it? </p>
