Giving birth is one heck of an event to pack for! I recently saw a Facebook post asking other mummas what they wished they had packed in their hospital bag for their stay after baby was born. Have you been wondering what you really need to pack for your hospital stay as well? It is an overwhelming checklist that is for sure. I found that the Mater Hospital Checklist was great! I didn't necessarily use everything but I was prepared. I decided it would be helpful to share what other mummas thought with you all!
List of items other mummas wish they packed in their hospital bag:
Lip balm
Water Bottle
Long charger cable
Socks
Snacks
High-waisted underwear
Pain reliever for your partner
Stool softener
Baby mittens
Face washer
Extra maternity pads
Nipple cream
Hair Ties
Dry shampoo
Hand lotion
Puke bag for the drive to hospital
Of course there are always going to be other things that you wish you had or that you don't realise you might need. For example, who knows how you will go breastfeeding and you might need a nipple shield which is something you don't need to spend the money on from the start!
One thing I did enjoy after the first day was little things like moisturizing my face, washing my hair and a fresh shirt. Made me feel more human.
