Yes I just just gave birth well had my first c section after I had 2 vaginal years ago but man Lacey did awesome explaining it all .. My baby though was born a month early and had to go into the NICU for a few weeks and I had to stay in the hospital for 6 days my self because of my diabetes man it was scary but all first time mom's should definitely watch this or even if they were like me I have a 17 year old son then a 10 year old son now me and my husband just had our very first babygirl 9 weeks ago so it was a long time for me so I called my sister and my niece to update me in what to pack lol.. it was totally different now then 10 years ago and then I had an emergency C-section so it was definitely different but I was so proud of my self I did it with no pain medicine I was surprised because I'm a big sissy to pain lol..
Lacy is keeping it real, and her tips are spot on. Wish I would've known some of these tips before my first was born. We all survive and I wish you well.
Exactly!! I hardly knew anything. And no one told me that it hurts to breast feed. I tried so hard! It hurt way too much, and my son was having issues latching, so I did not breast feed. I was sooo bummed out about it. I have a really low pain tolerance, so maybe that was it.
In all reality most of these things weren't available in the 70's when I had my 3 babies and we all managed just fine. Some of them I might have used if available but only one or two because they are so expensive. Definitely way more stuff now than when even I was born in the 50's.
@@PositiveVibesOnly37don't be hard on yourself. I can assure you that a lot of Mum's and babies struggle to breastfeed. Don't let people who tell you it was easy I breastfed mine for a long time make you think you did anything wrong. You would be surprised how many women find breastfeeding painful so you may not have a lot pain tolerance. Good luck with your journey through life.😊
I agree! My daughter in law is having her first baby in 6 weeks and i need to look for the witch hazel post-partum pads. I remember the itching being intense.
I love that Lacey is being so helpful telling Destiny what everything is used for and giving her advice. It's not too much info because it's part of nature. ❤
I absolutely love how Lacey explained the usage of everything. I love how upfront she was. Never hold back on explaining things to first time parents even if it scares them. Yes everyone labors/delivers differently so knowing these things is greatly appreciated. I love how Aubrey and Addie were there to learn more about motherhood and what it takes. I love how y'all never hold anything back and tell it like it is. I have never given birth myself but have been there and wish we had then what they have now. I can't believe baby boy is going to be here in just over a month from now. I could swear it was just a couple of months ago that they announced they were expecting much ❤❤ From NNY
I'm so excited for Destiny and Dylan. They are going to be amazing parents. But Destiny when you get ready to go home. Take EVERYTHING that the hospital has used for your baby like the diapers, wipes anything like that because you are charged for it so might as well take it with you, most of the times whatever is left behind the hospital will just throw away. I can't wait to see your little bundle of joy!
Very informative video for all new soon-to-be mothers!!! Crazy Middles... You are all so thoughtful!!! Can't wait to see Destiny and Dylans little blessing!!! ❤❤❤
I bought a comfy robe when I was pregnant with my daughter…15 1/2 years later, it’s my absolute favorite thing to wear. Doesn’t look great but it’s perfect.
Congrats Destiny! The best advice I received (but didn't take) was to stock up on all supplies at the hospital. They load the baby cart with diapers, wipes, etc, so pack an extra bag for the supplies. They have to replenish, so may as well get as many free items. The diapers are your best bet from the cart!
Haven’t had kids myself, but seriously love Lacey’s approach. We for so long kept things quiet or say it’s too much info, but I’d rather know what to expect. I think it’s important to know what’s coming.
Yes!! I was getting a lil frustrated when they said that too much. I would rather be prepared and have someone help me then not know. I love Lacey. She is awesome!! There should never be shame in having a baby and what our bodies need afterwords.
Nice to see Destiny and Dylan. Miss them and happy for the new addition they are expecting. and Lacey's realism for all is a hoot. she holds nothing back love her
Lacey, thank you for keeping it real. Sometimes women go into this and are shocked by sone of the things. Women need to know. I love the "coming tomorrow " and the crazy graphics at the end.
Lacey, you are HILLARIOUS. You've got a natural charisma and talent to be funny, that is a rare and amazing thing to have! Maybe you need a cozy comfortable (like your family) for it to shine through, but it is so fun to watch! Please consider having your own talk show or podcast with you and someone else as a host, if that is something you might be interested in, i think you'd be amazing at it! all the best luck!
Man, when I had my kids I brought myself, my pregnancy, and an outfit to bring baby home in. That's it. I didn't need anything else, because the hospital had everything.
I honestly didn’t stress about bringing all the things they provide at the hospital, they provide most everything that they charge you for anyway, so I took advantage of getting my moneys worth (ask and they will provide you with more). I only took toiletries, some cute pjs where I could feed baby on demand, and a change of clothes for going home. For the baby I took a pump, 2 baby to go outfits, and baby blankets. All you really focus on once your in the hospital is baby & sleep. I do suggest to buy a basket (put where is best accessible near toilet) with all the healing V essentials and keep it organized in the restroom (of you home), witch hazel pads, heavy duty pads, a bottle for water(the one that they gifted you is great), extra undies (just in case of an accident). Having that basket was so helpful to me.
ice packs for "downstairs" it helped SO much and fast with the healing process and pain the first day or so. I was SO Happy my friend told me about them.
Wow, Lacey is the friend/sister every Mom-to-be would want in their life! I love how she's normalizing what happens to the body and how she's not ashamed to talk about it.
Yes!! I just commented on another comment about it. We should not make birthing a child and also what our bodies go through a shameful thing. It's such a beautiful thing!
One of the best things I ever had was, cloth diapers. They are the best spit up cloths, or if you lay them down, you can use them on top of your changing pad. I ended up using mine for everything. Specially with boys, they make great cover up, when changing diapers.
So excited for them!🎉 I would say maybe pack a book or a card game just to entertain yourself while babyboy is sleeping! Best of luck for the delivery Destiny. I pray for the delivery to go smooth and easy and that you have a quick recovery! All the love from Germany! ❤
stop saying it's too much please having your girls learn these things is important and as a society we need to stop hiding theses things so women can actually be prepared to give birth and know what to expect beforehand.
@@MaryAliceNolan-t4uyes but you could have said it a little more nicer not just blurt it out yes it’s not any of her business but she’s just giving a suggestion and she’s right but it’s the families choice as well
I’m so excited and happy for them and can’t wait to meet and see the little one. This is such a cute video and I enjoyed watching it. And seeing how sweet and nice Lacy was to help them out with packing their hospital bag. This brought me joy and happiness. I love you’re family vlogs. They bring joy and happiness. Sending love and happiness. ❤
Hi Crazy Middles! I love how you helped Destiny with her hospital bag and she got a lot of essentials. If you want to add a little extra comfort and convenience, you might want to consider including a few more items like entertainment options(a book, tablet, or headphones), a reusable water bottle with a straw for easy sipping so you don't have to sit up, some cozy pajamas or loungewear for post-birth relaxation, a nursing pillow for breastfeeding comfort, and some music or relaxation aids. I am not a mom myself, but I did some research and watched a few videos to learn more about what might be helpful. I am an aunt, so I've picked up a few tips along the way. Destiny seems to be well prepared, but I thought these extra items could make her hospital experience even better. Best wishes to her and your family!
When Cynthia is in labour or a week/2 weeks before I would recommend putting a towel on the seats in the car just in case it’s too late,better to be safe than sorry xx
Hello crazy middle's thank you for sharing another amazing video you are amazing people and I am very excited for Destiny and Dylan you are going to be great parents thank you again for sharing your lives ❤❤❤
Dermoplast spray for your peri area. I used that and popsicle pads (use a very large pad. The largest you can find. You put witch hazel in it and aloe Vera. Freeze and you can make multiple and freeze them in a ziploc bag)
I just gave birth on 9/28!!! And one thing I’m glad I brought to the hospital was a Polaroid camera (like one that prints pictures out for ya) it was so cute getting special memories with my husband, baby and I and then I got pictures with our visitors/grand parents!!! Now I can put them in his baby album/memory book
Thank you to Lacey for keeping it real. I think in this day and age it's time to stop whispering or denying what really happens or what you need and why and just talk about it because it's helping a lot of soon to be mothers know what to bring. I would say for dad to bring some entertainment things because labor can be very long and you may just need some light and funny things to try to keep mom or himself entertained while you wait until it's go time or contractions get to be too much to concentrate. You might also want to bring/hire someone to take photos when the baby is born so you can concentrate on the baby but still get those first moments on camera.
Make sure all the new items are washed you don't know how many people touched them before you. Sterilze the pacifier!!!! Hope you have a short labor and easy delivery!!!! Prayers and Love From Oklahoma
Thank you Lacey for your great explanations....I am sure that all of that will help Destiny. Some things I would recommend are: Calendula Oil...great for babies who have dry skin, you can put a couple of drops in the bath water and also its great for massaging baby after bath time. Baby brain is a THING...so I always recommend having a notebook and pen...note down each time you feed baby, how long for and which side you finished on. Also note nappy changes and what was in them, you will be surprised how short your memory is for the first few weeks and when the midwife or doctor asks how often baby is feeding, sleeping and how many nappies (usually number 2's) they have had in the last 24 hours you will be able to bring out your trusty notebook to show them exactly what's been going on. Definitely get some nipple cream and make sure to have a bottle with a newborn teat and some formula just in case you are having issues with breast feeding....that's a life saver in the middle of the night...trust me! Remember a fed baby is a happy baby, so don't beat yourself up if it takes a little while to get into the rhythm. Huge hugz from New Zealand and I am so looking forward to seeing your wee man when he arrives. xx
Don't worry Lacey. I kept two of my son's clean newborn diapers as keepsakes. He's your around your age and I still go through his box sometimes and reminisce. Also, did a great job explaining what everything is for. Can't wait to meet baby!
She might want to pack snacks and drinks for them both. Because you never know when you might be hungry, and nothing is open or its 2 in the morning and you cant really go anywhere.
Swaddle pods! Swaddling your baby while they’re crying and you can’t figure out the art of swaddling is so stressful. A swaddle pod just zips up! Easy peasy, happy baby ❤
Something random- A nail file was handy for me, and doesn’t take up much room. I hap split nails during induction, they kept getting caught on the blanket & I was worried about scratching the baby. Helped calm me too
Destiny, Prewashing everything is a good idea. The best bet on laundry detergent is a "free and clear" instead of the "dreft" or other strongly scented detergents. I found out the hard way when my daughter had a constant rash until I switched to a free and clear... I felt so bad for her 😭 I had no idea what was causing it. Do what you feel is best. I'm just sharing my experience
Okay lacy is doing such a great job at explaining all of the health things that mothers have to do after they do give birth which is extremely important so I think that instead of Exit exit exiting out of those personal parts that women have to go through after giving birth I think is extremely important and every young teenager young mother and expecting mothers needs to know so give Lissy a round of applause because yes some of the things that us women have to go through after birth or even during birth is very personal but it is extremely important for girls teenage girls and girls young women needs to know
I can’t believe it’s nearly time. It feels like just yesterday Lacey was going through the same thing and the due date is actually two days after my bday so who knows, we could share the same bday
I was so unprepared both times. I had clean clothes. Adult nappies. Clothes and nappies for baby and a phone charger. Never used any aftercare either time. Its nice others have all that extra care for themselves though. Hoping you have a smooth birth of your precious baby ❤
Water bottle with a straw is an essential item. For breastfeeding and wanting to do skin to skin they advise non scented body wash for both parents so that baby gets used to parents natural scent, hat and mittens for baby, best of luck Destiny and Dylan xx
I’ve had my fair share of hospital stays. My “Must Haves” **pillow** *extension cord *airpods/earbuds *water bottle ****PILLOW***** *dry shampoo *body spray(you may not be up for a shower, but you will be stinky) *ear plugs(hospitals are LOUD) *night light so the nurses don’t have to turn your overhead light on(TRUST)! And if I wasn’t clear, make sure you take your own ****PILLOW****
Add a baby to shirt to add under the outfit the baby will be wearing home. Bring extra receiving blankets. I always put 1 under the straps of the car seat after you put the baby in you can tuck it around them. Then, add a thicker blanket on top to keep them warm.
Love the hospital suitcase.. great stuff in it.. I would just add put some extra cash (dollars) in one of the totes for vending machines sometimes the cc machine part doesn't work. And take your pillows, hospital's are always flat. Lol
I have a wet brush for myself and one for my daughter and it's perfect for brushing a child's hair. doesn't pull and brushes great. I wish I had one for her when she was much younger. also I wish I knew all the stuff about witch hazel when I had my daughter 7 years ago. Also slippers are a great idea. My mom got me some and I still have them.
Destiny if the hospital lets you, when you get ready to leave the hospital take all the extra diapers they are willing to give you. My hospital allowed us to take a lot of diapers.
I wish we had some of these products back when I had children 🤣 I was lucky in one area, my aunt worked in the hospital medical supply industry and the were trying out a new product, ‘ice pack, menstrual pads’ they were amazing, you popped them to activate the cold, it was so soothing and she stocked me up with them 😂
I would suggest opening & washing everything with dreft. It’s a pain to open up all the packaging at the hospital. Dylan needs to pack some stuff for himself too, like snacks, a book or something to do if her labor lasts longer there is a lot of just sitting around & waiting.
I would bring an insulated water bottle, like a Stanley, to help keep her water cold. She’s gonna need to stay hydrated after giving birth. Plus if she’s particular to her pillow, I’d bring it. The hospital has thin pillows. A nursing pillow is also good.
I love how real and raw Lacey is. It's always good to be prepared.
Lacey is doing such a good job explaining it all. All expecting moms should watch this!
Right! And Shelley acted like she was embarrassed by it! 😂
@@EricaBaker2023 haha yes! she was the embarrassed teenage girl having the talk with her parents. it was so cute🥹😂

@@ChellenBobby Aw congrats on your baby girl! And so nice to have people to call and ask for advice even if you’ve given birth before.
Lacey is right about what women go through after having a baby destiny is really will prepped for the hospital
It's so fun to see this new phase with all the baby middles being born. What a sweet season of life.💕

Hi destiny and destiny husband you have a channel on you tube
This video is beautiful!!! Lacey did such a great job at explaining everything and giving some of her own experience with some items. ❤❤❤❤❤
I just love your family! Everyone is so supportive. Destiny is going to be a great mom
Loved hearing Lacey give her big sister all the mom tips!! I miss seeing them both in videos.
I honestly didn’t stress about bringing all the things they provide at the hospital, they provide most everything that they charge you for anyway, so I took advantage of getting my moneys worth (ask and they will provide you with more). I only took toiletries, some cute pjs where I could feed baby on demand, and a change of clothes for going home. For the baby I took a pump, 2 baby to go outfits, and baby blankets. All you really focus on once your in the hospital is baby & sleep. I do suggest to buy a basket (put where is best accessible near toilet) with all the healing V essentials and keep it organized in the restroom (of you home), witch hazel pads, heavy duty pads, a bottle for water(the one that they gifted you is great), extra undies (just in case of an accident). Having that basket was so helpful to me.
I think Lacey should be the one who gives all the hospital bag demo .. she is hilarious
ice packs for "downstairs" it helped SO much and fast with the healing process and pain the first day or so. I was SO Happy my friend told me about them.

Lacy and Kylie are the duo that I didn’t know I needed
Oh the way Dylan put his hand behind destiny when she was trying the slippers on so she doesn't fall, that was cuteee
I am so excited for destiny her baby and I love y’all videos god blessed y’all whole entire family 😁
You two will be wonderful parents! This was such a cute video!

TINY FAN! Literally the best thing I brought plus it doubles as a stroller fan
Hair ties are also great for putting on your wrist so you can remember which side you fed off last.
Something random- A nail file was handy for me, and doesn’t take up much room. I hap split nails during induction, they kept getting caught on the blanket & I was worried about scratching the baby. Helped calm me too
I’m 4 months pregnant and love watching your vlogs! Thanks for the tips❤
I’m so excited for them .
Destiny,
Prewashing everything is a good idea. The best bet on laundry detergent is a "free and clear" instead of the "dreft" or other strongly scented detergents. I found out the hard way when my daughter had a constant rash until I switched to a free and clear... I felt so bad for her 😭 I had no idea what was causing it. Do what you feel is best. I'm just sharing my experience
Okay lacy is doing such a great job at explaining all of the health things that mothers have to do after they do give birth which is extremely important so I think that instead of Exit exit exiting out of those personal parts that women have to go through after giving birth I think is extremely important and every young teenager young mother and expecting mothers needs to know so give Lissy a round of applause because yes some of the things that us women have to go through after birth or even during birth is very personal but it is extremely important for girls teenage girls and girls young women needs to know
I can’t believe it’s nearly time. It feels like just yesterday Lacey was going through the same thing and the due date is actually two days after my bday so who knows, we could share the same bday
I was so unprepared both times. I had clean clothes. Adult nappies. Clothes and nappies for baby and a phone charger. Never used any aftercare either time. Its nice others have all that extra care for themselves though. Hoping you have a smooth birth of your precious baby ❤
The Crazy Middles make even the most personal of things fun.
Water bottle with a straw is an essential item. For breastfeeding and wanting to do skin to skin they advise non scented body wash for both parents so that baby gets used to parents natural scent, hat and mittens for baby, best of luck Destiny and Dylan xx
I’ve had my fair share of hospital stays.
My “Must Haves”
**pillow**
*extension cord
*airpods/earbuds
*water bottle
****PILLOW*****
*dry shampoo
*body spray(you may not be up for a shower, but you will be stinky)
*ear plugs(hospitals are LOUD)
*night light so the nurses don’t have to turn your overhead light on(TRUST)!
And if I wasn’t clear, make sure you take your own

She could definitely have a Thanksgiving baby!!!
Destiny's Child could be a turkey?

My kids are 15 and 13 and watching this made me emotional! I miss my kids being babies!
Add a baby to shirt to add under the outfit the baby will be wearing home. Bring extra receiving blankets. I always put 1 under the straps of the car seat after you put the baby in you can tuck it around them. Then, add a thicker blanket on top to keep them warm.
Wow that went fast, now it's getting to be exciting can't wait, there going to be the best parents, love Ed you s ❤️
So soft! Thanks, Shelly!
If you think new born are small take a look at a preemie diaper. So excited for them.
Love the hospital suitcase.. great stuff in it.. I would just add put some extra cash (dollars) in one of the totes for vending machines sometimes the cc machine part doesn't work. And take your pillows, hospital's are always flat. Lol
A baby swaddle is super nice to have!
We put a couple of drops of essential oil in our sanitizer. Maybe lavender or something you like the smell of?
Freda mom ice packs for down there if she tears is a saver!!! They have a whole kit at target

Destiny and I are very close in due date and I haven't even thought about hospital bag yet 😬 this helped get me thinking about it!
❤❤❤ to all of you - Crazy Middles Family.
I have a wet brush for myself and one for my daughter and it's perfect for brushing a child's hair. doesn't pull and brushes great. I wish I had one for her when she was much younger. also I wish I knew all the stuff about witch hazel when I had my daughter 7 years ago. Also slippers are a great idea. My mom got me some and I still have them.
Destiny if the hospital lets you, when you get ready to leave the hospital take all the extra diapers they are willing to give you. My hospital allowed us to take a lot of diapers.
This was so fun! I hope everything goes smoothly.😇
Ahhhh I can’t wait to see their new bubba 0:10
I wish we had some of these products back when I had children 🤣 I was lucky in one area, my aunt worked in the hospital medical supply industry and the were trying out a new product, ‘ice pack, menstrual pads’ they were amazing, you popped them to activate the cold, it was so soothing and she stocked me up with them 😂
also scratch mitts for the baby. They sometimes come out with long fingernails and can scratch their own face.
Laceys so good at this❤❤great vlog😊😊love your music at the end 🎵🎵
I’m so excited for them ❤ x
I love the new intros and outros!
I would suggest opening & washing everything with dreft. It’s a pain to open up all the packaging at the hospital.
Dylan needs to pack some stuff for himself too, like snacks, a book or something to do if her labor lasts longer there is a lot of just sitting around & waiting.
I would bring an insulated water bottle, like a Stanley, to help keep her water cold. She’s gonna need to stay hydrated after giving birth. Plus if she’s particular to her pillow, I’d bring it. The hospital has thin pillows. A nursing pillow is also good.
Congratulations destiny and Dylan ❤ 👶
