What Should I Take To Hospital When Having A Baby

This was a topic I looked up several times when preparing for my stay at the hospital; therefore, I wanted to share what I felt like were musts when packing.  Below are a list of the 15 things I felt were most important:

1.)  Spaghetti strapped tanks and nightgowns- I only brought one spaghetti strapped tank and wish I would have had more.  It made breastfeeding so much easier.  Plus I felt better in it than the hospital gown!
2.)  Snacks for my husband as well as myself after the baby was born.
3.)  Extra baby clothes-the hospital provides infants with outfits; however, I enjoyed being able to dress him in cuter clothes for all the visitors and pictures we took!
4.)  Soft music-made sleeping a little easier as well as made the atmosphere more inviting.
5.)  Socks with grip- Keeps you from sliding around when you can barely walk as it is.
6.)  Boppy-Would have made breastfeeding so much easier those first few learning days.
7.)  Maternity bras-I loved being able to just unsnap and go with it when feeding my little man!
8.)  Phone or other way for internet access-Kept my mind off the pain and made time go by a lot quicker being able to text and browse online.
9.)  Camera, video camera,etc. You will want to take a lot of pictures and videos!!!!!!!!
10.) Husband or other support person and a few encouraging Bible verses-Definitely made the labor process so much easier!  He was amazing walking me through the contractions and rubbing my back, praying with me, etc.
11.)  Going home outfit-loose fitting as well as something that aren't too low on your waist in case you have a c-section.
12.)  Notepad or journal-my husband and I wrote a note to our little man those last, painful hours before he arrived.  I can't wait for him to read be able to read them!
13.)  Toiletries- deodorant, contacts, glasses, solution, etc.
14.)  Pony tail holder-  You will hate your hair in your face the whole hospital stay!
15.)  Your own pillow just in case you have a c-section.  I so wish I had one for the car ride home.  It would have made the trip a lot less painful!
