Let me start of by saying I am NOT one of those "have your hospital bag ready weeks and weeks before you go into labor" people. A) I don't see myself being in that big of a rush. B) We can see the hospital from our kitchen window so if I forget anything it isn't hard for me to get it, lol. But I can say what I plan to bring this time is COMPLETELY different than with my last birth.
These are the things I'm planning on bringing that I didn't the first time around:
1) My own birthing gown (its a Pretty Pushers gown). I HATED the hospital gown last time. It was stiff and scratchy and horrible. And my hospital won't just let you wear comfy clothes (they need access to your back and belly) so I invested in a pretty pushers.
2) Jambox speaker for my phone. But this is because I'm planning on using Hypnobabies this time whereas I did not last time.
3) Baggy comfy/PJ pants for postpartum. I'm a yoga pant girl 100%. I actually didn't even own any baggy comfy pants. Didn't think about the fact that I'd basically be in an adult diaper (because of PP bleeding) directly following giving birth so I actually had to send DH home last time to grab some of HIS sweats for me to wear, lol.
4) Air freshener. A) I hate the smell of hospitals. B) I've been using the same Scentsy Scent every time I listen to my hypnobabies tracks so I'm bringing that scent to the hospital with me.
What about you?
