      @@piper8040 Hi! Being premature can bring complications with development, etc. However, there is a lot of factors that are involved, like the mothers prenatal care, your families medical history/genetics, and so much more! So depending on things like this would definitely cater to that. I’m glad that it didn’t effect you the way they predicted!!

Most all new Moms pack a little extra, but it's what you want and what makes you comfortable. You are very thoughtful in choosing what to bring for all three of you!!

    A little trick I learned from when I had my kids (they are 19, 17 and 15) is when I needed cooling pads, for breasts or down there care. I was told to wet a diaper so it swells up and place it in the freezer. Works wonders as a cold pack. I have loved following your pregnancy journey.

    I haven't watched the whole video yet, but in my experience I barely used anything I brought in my hospital bag! Our hospital was amazing and provided allll the diapers and wipes for our son, ice pack pads for me and really all the postpartum care things, and anything else that I might have potentially needed as a new mama!
    So your mom is right - just anything you would need to go overnight somewhere! ❤

    Girl! I feel this video in my soul from when my daughter was born. It’s going to depend on your hospital. A lot of the stuff that you’ve packed, my hospital gave me. Don’t feel bad for taking the things they give you. You’ll understand when you get your bill. The nipple shields you may not need. It all depends how lil dude latches. My daughter struggled to latch so I used shields with every feeding, my son on the other hand only needed to use it for the first few days or whenever my nipples were sore/raw. I have so much I could tell you that no one told me when I went in! I would also suggest Tuks pads and/or earth mama perineal spray. That stuff saved my life!

    From a first time mom all of your after care stuff can stay at home!!!! The hospital provides everything and you can ask for extras! Trust me! I packed the same kit and didn't use any of it except socks. Have the after birth care already set up in your bathroom at home before you leave so you don't have to worry about it when you get home after having your little dude, It took way too much space. Bring everything home that the hospital gives you includong diapers!

    -nipple shields can help with latching but aren’t necessary for everyone
    -ask your doctor what they provide for postpartum care..you may not need to bring pads and ice packs
    -oh and outfits for the baby that have hand covers already built in are great! Mittens can fall off so easily but maybe you’ll like them 🙂
    -snacks are great to have
    -bring some headphones

Now both are just sitting in my cabinet. My kids have been using them to take away the pain from bug bites or when they fall an scrape their knees.

    You bring and pack whatever you feel
    You need mama. It is part of the process. Everyone has a different hospital experience so you might use a lot of it, you might use almost none of it.
    Couple tips….
    1. We recommend babies stay in just a diaper while there to promote the most skin to skin we can
    2. All of your clothing should provide easy access to the “girls”. Think buttons
    3. I always brought my own swaddle blankets for baby.
    4.they will have ice pads and disposable undies if you want to save yours for home.
    5. Whatever you wear when baby is born will be soaked and dirty. I usually tell my patients to save their cute gowns for after baby.
    You got this mama❤️❤️

    I just gave birth to my first at the end of April so packing wise and what I wound up using is still on my mind so figured I’d share.
    For starters I LOVE the Frida mom hospital gown, but I highly suggest saving it until after you give birth because the gown will get dirty and it was so nice to have that soft gown to put on once baby arrived.
    I’d also suggest bringing some high waisted comfy pants and underwear just in case heaven forbid you wind up needing a C-Section. I labored for 25 hours before I wound up needing a C Section and I would’ve been miserable in anything tight or even relatively low waisted, even with wearing a compression band.
    I also suggest bringing your own swaddle, my little one was able to get out of the hospital swaddle super easily.
    A fold down toiletries bag on a hook was a lifesaver! We just hung it in the bathroom and had each zipper organized, I also grabbed packing cubes from Amazon and had a cube for baby, myself, and one for my husband for clothing. And then I used another packing cube to put recovery items in, like Nipple cream, adult diapers, etc.
    I brought a large checked luggage myself, but only because I wanted to bring a pillow from home and blankets from home for my husband and I. And I’m so glad we at least brought the blankets. The pillow probably could’ve been left at home, but only because we were given so many at the hospital.
    Also, don’t worry about the size of the bag you’re bringing. I’m sure the hospital workers have seen it all! I heard from one of my nurses that one dad brought in his PlayStation lol.
    So excited for you and Matt!🧡

    a good tip I recommend you do is call your hospital your planning on going out and ask them what they provide to you so you don't end up bringing a huge back with stuff you didn't need/use because they provide it then forget or leave something behind because you didn't think of it or didn't have the space for it so it's always good to ask before hand

    Abby, I really enjoyed bringing my own PILLOW to the hospital the last time I had a baby! Personally, I had a really hard time getting comfortable and relaxed enough to sleep, especially with how fatigued you’ll be and your brain is going to be running a million miles an hour! So, maybe think about bringing a pillow for you and Matt and then I’d call it a day! Your bag looks great!

      I have never been pregnant but I'm chronicly ill and have spent a lot of time it the hospital and I like to bring a travel neck pillow. You will likely get to a point where you are too tired to want to hold up your head.

    I brought a suitcase with me both times ! It makes for less luggage when leaving !
    I always bring basic toiletries, shower stuff including towels, robe, a black dress or something to wear during labor under my robe so I can move and walk around. Slippers, socks, two sets of clothes (in case of a bleeding accident) or however many sets of clothes you feel you'll want or need. Chapstick, nipple cream, chargers, any electronics I'd want to use, snacks, etc.
    Baby stuff would be like, 3 outfits or sleepers including going home clothes. Swaddle or two. Pacifiers if you plan on using them. I ALWAYS bring a pump and bottles and formula due to a problem I had with my first born and the hospital I gave birth at. A few diapers, wipes, anything else you plan on using.

    • @TheFallLover

    Hey Abby! I’m a mother of two girls. From experience, I’d say you’d need more changes of baby clothes and maybe some muslin cloths or bibs. You’ll also might need nappies and wipes and ointment- I’m from the UK so things might be different over there! Best of luck with your little dude!🤩xx

  • @misst2017
    @misst2017 2 роки тому

    My bag was packed well ahead of time, which was actually a problem because I kept adding things and didn't need the majority of it. My husband however packed the moment my water broke in a panic because, he slacked LOL! Kudos to you for driving and going places this pregnant, I refused to do anything without my mom or husband and they drove me because I was afraid to lol. I didn't have a suit case so I used a large tote-like bag. My husband uses a backpack. Don't forget your nursing pillow if you plan to use it (although I didn't use mine in the hospital). Most Frida items are given by the hospital but its good to have just in case. I used a labor gown which was the best decision I ever made. I was really cold and didn't need a fan, but that's a great idea. CHAPSTICK!!! Pack it, trust me. I had one and didn't know I'd need it, and I've seen so many people say they needed it too. Snacks are a great idea for dad to keep busy, and for you during recovery. I kept my hair in braids the entire time and was so happy to not even worry about it. Oh man, slippers are a big yes. That was also another great purchase of mine. Medicines, books, chargers, must haves. GOOD LUCK!!! :)

    Baby gowns are a must. Your going to be so tired and when he wakes up in the middle of the night, you don’t want to have to fiddle with the snaps. Also bring extra baby clothes in case he spits milk up or has a pee or poop accident. Also if you circumcise him, bring Vaseline to put around the area so his pee pee doesn’t stick to the diaper. This will be an experience like no other, take in every precious moment of your delivery experience. Mom instinct, it’s real and always listen to it. Best wishes!!!!!!

    Abby just a little advise, you might pack a little bag to have essentials on hand in the delivery room. It‘ll be so exciting and suspens that you won‘t be able to open the big suitecase if you need something.
    For the deliveryroom I would recommend:
    - water (delivery is like a workout)
    - chapstick
    - those frida socks (trust me, it feels better with socks on)
    Oh and bring a bodywash! They don‘t have that…
    I wish you a nice and smooth delivery! Can‘t wait to see little dude 🤗

    Helpful tip Abby just to help you out. If you have another baby take overnight pads and postpartum pads put aloe Vera and tea tree or whatever essential oil you like on them and store them in the freezer. It helps alot since if you tear the burn stings bad.

    Most labor and delivery/maternity units have your essentials (pads, underwear, nipple cream, any meds/numbing creams). I am a maternity nurse and what most people wish they had was chapstick, hair ties, their own pillow/blanket, good toiletries, hair dryer if you plan to shower, ear plugs, and flip flops for when you want to walk around. On that note, no one will judge you for what you do or don't bring

    When I was in labour with my son, my midwife went to get something out of my bag for me and made a comment that I over packed .. then we ended up having to stay for 2 days so I don't think what you packed was bad at all, nothing wrong with being prepared ! :)

    Good job! Honestly, I didn’t use much from my bag. Mainly toiletries, phone chargers and clothes for me and baby when we left. I kinda lounged in the hospital gown the whole time for baby one. FYI- hospital pillows are horrible bring your own. Also, a nursing gown is the best and will make things so much easier for you...and don’t forget slippers. They give you socks but they aren’t very comfy. Best of luck!

  • @angiew4544
    @angiew4544 2 роки тому +5

    You are not going to need 75% of what you packed . The hospital will provide everything you and the baby need . Also take home the extra diapers and formula they give you, you're paying enough for it ! You really just need a going home outfit and receiving blanket , pj's, robe , slippers and an outfit for yourself. Also very helpful is Dermoplast and Tucks ! Those are lifesavers! Good luck for an easy delivery ! 🍼👨‍👩‍👧🌷

Less is best you really will get everything from them! And take home all they give you!!! Soooo excited for you guys. Such a special time. Of course just my advice you do you 💙 Oh the funniest part was when you said a book for Entertainment.

    I just delivered my baby boy 2 weeks ago! The hospital gives you all the postpartum care things (mesh Underwear, pads, tucks, dermoplast, etc). Nursing tops, collect colostrum in syringes and refrigerate the week before, sounds machine, swaddles, burp cloths, nipple cream, entertainment. I only ended up wearing 2-3 outfits, take flip flops for bathroom/shower, toiletries.

    Hey beautiful mama 🤗 just a heads up on perfume... not advised to wear with new borns. It's completely overwhelming for them and he'll become irritable. He needs to smell his mama's natural scent which will keep him calm and happy. U can wear a mild underarm roll on, just not the perfume. 😘🥰 All the best! Just breathe in every moment with your baby...it all goes so fast. ❤
