Complete Hospital Bag Checklist

The exciting time just before giving birth can also be a rushing stress. When your baby decides to come, in early labor or on time, expecting mothers should always have a hospital bag prepared for the big day.

Packing your hospital bag well before the due date is also essential if you have an early visit to the hospital or birth center.

Complete Hospital Bag Checklist 

You never know when your baby will come, so many new parents don’t like waiting until the third trimester to pack their hospital bags.  Most mothers suggest packing a hospital bag once you reach 32 weeks pregnant if you have early labor. This gives you plenty of leeway depending on when your child wants to come.

When Should I Have My Hospital Bags Packed?

What Should You Pack for Yourself? We’ll start by creating a hospital bag checklist for mom. In these categories, we cover all the bases. If some do not apply to your birth plan, feel free to move on to the next suggestion.

Comfortable, lightweight clothing is the first thing you should pack in your hospital bag. You want to bring comfy clothes as an alternative to your hospital gown. Though the hospital will give you pads and mesh underwear, you may want to invest in your own items

Maternity Clothes 

Toiletries   The hospital will provide towels, hand soap, and other essential toiletries, but your hospital won’t give you comfort items or luxurious hotel towels. Be sure to bring your daily essentials like a toothbrush and toothpaste, deodorant, lip balm, hairbrush, and extra hair ties.

Bedroom Items  The hospital bed and hospital pillows tend to have scratchy, starchy consistency. We suggest you bring a comfy pillow and warm blankets. Labor is exhausting, so ensure you have the most comfortable sleeping items for recovery.
