@@londongirl2768same. The fan and the shower flip flops are a good idea based on my sister's experience with her stay in the hospital when my niece was born and my experience of my hospital stay when I had surgery. Also slippers, I prefer non-slip slippers instead of the socks when I walked around.
Yessss the fan was my best friend!! I actually had 2 ( I run hot) and 1 died mid 7 hours of pushing and I gave it to my husband who looked at me weird and I had to tell him of you don't charge this imma hit you with it😅
Ew gross, that's terrible. Always use flip flops, I'm surprised the hospital doesn't give them out or at least tell patients to bring them. Public showers should always be used with shower flip flops
@@jclyntoledo I was in a public shower when I got mine, and I was actually wearing flip flops, I couldn't imagine how much worse it could have been if I wasn't.
This. So much this. Last time I was admitted to the hospital I took my foam slides with me because I was NOT about to let them give me mf athlete's foot again
Required swimming lessons in 4th grade, the entire class ended up with athletes feet. My mother wasn't happy in the least. I've always brought flip flops to any public shower after that!
I was the opposite, first time I just dumped a bunch of basic things in a bag the night before, second time I had organised packing cubes so I could find stuff and direct others to what I needed of my hands were full. Hospital goodies went in a seperate shopping bag so they wouldn't end up at the bottom of the suitcase, forgotten for 6 months when I throw the bag in the corner upon arrival home and forget to unpack, again.
@@adedow1333 I couldn't imagine bleeding for 11 months straight. I salute you, but can I ask a nosey question did you have baby 1 and 2 back to back or was they both some time(months to years) apart?
With the 3rd I took a small fan and sound machine! It was fantastic I couldn’t hear the nurses all night in the hallway outside. We also bought a chocolate cake to celebrate as a family And sing happy birthday to the new baby!
I just used baby gowns for the first several months. I had 3 and the younger ones stayed drawed up with their knees up to their chest and so onesies didn't work. Plus you can be careful with the umbilical cord and change their diaper easier. No onesies for several months... (At least with my 2nd and 3rd baby)
I’ve had a few different brands and didn’t love the magnets. Surprisingly, I ended up favoring snaps even over zippers 🤷🏻♀️ especially the two way zippers, those things are annoying. Edit to add: I have 3 kids
The hospital encouraged us to take home all the extra diapers from the baby bassinet thingie. I learned to definitely leave room in your duffel bag for that!
My youngest is 21 but I remember the nurses taking out the diapers and wipes so they could refill the bassinet. Loved them I had a lot of diapers and wipes when I left.
With my second, i let my husband sleep for an extra 2 hours while having contractions, i went for a shower, did my skincare routine and watched some youtube before waking my husband 😂
I just had a hysterectomy and I honestly prefer the Frida version over the hospitals. But yup I’m 2 weeks in and I’m still rocking the mesh undies (well the Frida version) daily there is ZERO pressure on my extremely long incision and comfy to sleep in.
Second kid I packed two bags: one for L&D and one for the actual hospital stay. The first bag is light for dad to grab and run up after parking. It is mostly drinks, salt, and comfort items. Second bag is for after baby is born and get moved to a proper room: toiletries, clothes, etc.
I can totally understand. Full disclosure, while in labor I actually made hubby check to see if I’d packed it after making this video - I did not. Big regrets hahahah
Yeah I will forever bring my fan with me. I didnt labor long enough for it to be useful, but it got pretty hot in the recovery room we were in. I needed it while sleeping especially
My sister and her husband are expecting their first baby in the April/May threshold. Her husband is SO excited he already bought and put up a crib he bought from facebook marketplace, LOL! And their new home is no bigger than a small apartment....so they don't exactly have the room for it so soon! LOL. Bless him! He is from Pakistan ( persecuted Christian), and we already know he is going to be like Ricky Ricardo when it's time for the baby!
I’ve been watching a bunch of videos to see what to put in my hospital bag. So far it’s been comfy clothes some post partum care things, bottle of wine and plenty of extra space to take the stuff from our room😂
Packed my bags already for the scheduled c-section for this week. Not only did i pack some clothes for myself and my baby, i packed some snacks. Not my first child and after the 1st time packing, i learned i didn't need too much but basics: clothes for baby and me and bathroom supplies so i can get a decent shower. Also my phone charger. The snacks comes in handy so I don't have to keep bugging the nurses for something to eat.
I was staying with my dad and step mom when i went into labor with my first i only had the clothes i packed for my visit. I did a bag for my second but didnt use like anything in it. So with my third and fourth, i did my clothes, my babies clothes, phone charger, and a book. Honestly, I was so glad i didn't have so many extra things. I try to stay the least amount of time required.
Me and my partner are trying for a baby and ive already been writing lists of what i want in the nursery and stuff i need. His sister already gave us a highchair and im picking up a moses basket and nappies from a friend who doesnt need them anymore 😊 basically... Im having difficulty keeping a pregnancy. Partner did a sperm test and it came back negative so his sperm count is quiet low however i have had 3 miscarriages this year.. so now i have to go for blood tests to make sure its not anything on my part and i hope its not... Hopefully we can conceive before the new year though. There isnt any rush but i am really excited and a bit impatient to start our own family.. any advice will be a great help 💜😅
@oxcelesxo i was diagnosed infertile and after 7 years randomly got pregnant with my son who is 5 months and somehow im pregnant again 😂 my step-mom had 7 miscarriages and a stillbirth then my sister who is now 9. I know it's hard to do but just don't stress too much about it, being relaxed and not worrying is generally when it happens!
I took nothing but a change of clothes for 1st baby left everything else at home the nurses have everything you need. They even supply you with diapers and liquid formula if you need, both of mine were breastfed mostly.
My first birth I packed the bag 4 weeks before the date. Since 3 weeks before the due date is considered full born, I managed to not do it earlier. A week before the date, I was ready to go in just a few minutes. Baby came 1 week late. Second pregnancy, I showed up to the hospital with a change of clothes, toiletries, my meds and a charger. My husband eventually brought stuff I needed, but hospital shirts and mesh underwear is comfy. Baby clothes and stuff were still in storage. It was 6 weeks early, but had it been my first born the clothes would have been washed, ironed (😂) and folded neatly. When we got home, our baby had to spend her first nap at home in a doll bed, with a pillowcase as sheet.
Best thing I brought was personal dvds 😅 I was in labor over 24 hours and I was able to watch comfort shows and movies. Nurses said they gave never seen the south park movie let alone during someone's labor 😂
I packed 2 medium size suitcases for my first childbirth. And for the second one i got one backpack. Bassically just hoodies for when i get home with 1 onesie, blanket & sweatpants and pads lol.
My hospital bag the first time had everything but the kitchen sink in it. Second time around it had snacks, Gatorade, and a pair of PJs each for me and bub. Same size suitcase though.
Aren't birthing gowns just really nice and expensive clothes that immediately get ruined by all the blood and fluids? 😅 I'll take the free one at the hospital.
lol I think I’m the opposite…I brought basically nothing with my first but now I’m in my third pregnancy planning to bring my own birthing gown, a few changes of clothes, and matching outfits 🤣🤣
Oof thank you for the shower shoes reminder! Im 100% bringing an airbed for my partner, i need him well rested. And tbh since i want a home birth but am too scared to have one for my first, I'll probably bring half my house in home comforts 😂
YESSSS those mesh undies are AWESOME! Shockingly comfy and they fit PERFECTLY! I'm mad that I can't get such a good fit from store-bought undies... either the waist sits lower than I'd like or the bottom of my butt cheeks are showing! Not an issue with the mesh panties, though! They stretch to fit PERFECTLY! Ugh... WISH I could get more...
I remember hearing a pregnant comedian talking about how her friend told her to steal as much mesh underwear as they could possibly could before they leave the hospital
Im 19 weeks with my first baby and i have no idea what to pack😂 I was definitely lining up with the first mommas plans until I watched this, now im second guessing it lol
For everyone with long hair that simply doesn't want to behave, I might have a lifehack for you: Get those heatless curls things (I think you csn also do it with socks?). If you practice it before you go into labor, you have your hair out of your way and mouth in no time. Worked for me much better than a messy bun or ponytail. During labor, the tiniest thing could set you off (like a sweaty hair hanging in front of your eyes) so it's always good to take care of it. Plus side: You will look fabulous in those first pictures with your newborn 😂
Two c sections and the BEST thing i ever did was a portable fan. I cant sleep without a fan on at home and turns out thats all i needed to sleep at the hospital too. And adult diapers, screw mesh undies
When my mom was pregnant with my sister the only one freaking out was my grandma, and when my mom was pregnant with me she had some worry cuz I was a high risk pregnancy but I’m here luckily
So for my third and fourth baby I actually did bring a birthing gown, and it was so much more of a dignifying and comforting experience than just having the Johnny hanging wide open and not being able to cover yourself. And just already feeling so gross giving birth gown was a very nice change, also, don't bring an outfit to go home and that's too small. You'll regret it and feel terrible... Bring something that'll fit and that's comfortable... Like something that fit you around 6 or 7 months pregnant don't bring your old clothes you'll cry 😅
Water bottle, toothbrush, shampoo, nail clipper for baby, and a few outfits for baby. I also packed a yoga mat in case I birthed on the side of the road!
Just had my first. Grabbed some adult diapers for me (cause yes ladies, youll need them for the blood alone), 1 pack of newborn and 3 mo diapers for the baby, tho the hospital had that and formula, a change of clothes, and the husband. I figured if i needed anything, id get him. Oh, and my mom took all the first photos. I on the other hand b4 going in said, "im handing the baby off and taking a nap" my mom laughed and said "yeah right". She was shocked when i did just that. 😅
All I Took For My First Time Was Super Baggy Clothes. Mostly Dresses. And My Melatonin So I Could Sleep While Contracting. My Second Was The Same. Except No Melatonin. Both Experiences Were Amazing. But Not Good Enough To Have A Third
I brought 3 outfits not knowing the weight of my baby 😂 (ended up leaving with him in a Newborn Onesie) I brought only my going home outfit, my manz had a nighttime outfit and a going home outfit. Packed our hair brushes, I packed him a comforter cause I didn’t know about the hospital blankets and we packed snacks. Everything else we got from our hospital and they packed us up with two more bags 😂❤
Everytime I realised that I'm more relax about my first child than most people lol My package was just really a pajama for me and some clothes for him and of course all the stuff to take care of him 😅 I already knew I would be tired and not good looking and didn't give a shit as long as baby was good
Getting supplies from the hospital is the best part of the hospital (but honestly the bar for what is the best is pretty low 😅) I'm chronicly ill and I end up in the hospital 4+ times a year and the best part is looting the place while I wait for my discharge papers 😂 P.S. The little portable stroller fan is actually amazing in the hospital (and everywhere else)
I brought a tripod too! And by tripod I mean I asked the nurse if she could take photos of us 😅 Also I was hospitalized at 13 weeks with pneumonia this pregnancy and the hospital gave me a clip-on fan for my bed that I most definitely kept and am breaking back 👏🏽
Packing hospital bag for 1st baby. I didn't. I had my crochet bag and was expecting a routine ultrasound appointment. Nope we're preparing for being induced. Guess maybe I'll pack around 16 weeks.
YES pack as many mesh undies as you can and if you have a preemie that’s safe to go home after a couple days, grab as many preemie diapers as you can. And anything the hospital gives you to help the after birth pain downstairs(ie extra sized pads, diaper thingies, the little squirt bottles). You want to fit as much of that into one bag as humanly possible, I promise.
I was never like this. I always acted like they were the 3rd born. I was the first born of the first born. My mother was one of 6 and my sister is 12 years younger than me. I was always around babies since I was 12. I used to take care of 3 young ones overnight for my aunts. I was never the nervous mom who went overboard. But love when moms finally come around.
I actually didn't like the mesh undies because they didn't fit my postpartum plus sized body without having to cut them up the sides. They still felt uncomfortable. So I always brought my own knickers to the hospital. I would use their giant pads, though and the chucks pads as well. I just would rather wash my own cotton knickers than deal with the too tight, uncomfortable mesh ones provided in hospital.
Germany: Mama to be: „what do I bring to the hospital for the delivery?” Nurse: “ehm? What do you mean? We provide everything for mama and the baby! Bring yourself and your belly 🤣” Costs: 10€ per day of stay in hospital
Dont forget the extra room for taking non reusable free items, they usualy give you alot of newborn diapers but they throw out tge ones you leave bc of germs n such, and also any disposable underwear ,baby blanket, wipes and diaper cream

I absolutely needed it more than anything!

I’ve never had a baby before, but when I was in the hospital, those mesh undies and giant pads were a lifesaver during my period.
I had an allergic reaction to the mesh undies...😦
@@gwolfstahlThat sounds terrible, hopefully you found a better alternative
@@gwolfstahlSAME!! They were so uncomfortable, made me break out in hives & dug into my skin! I ended up having Dad go buy me boxers lol
I got so many if those mesh undies that I put the left over ones in a container in my bathroom incase a guest has a surprise visitor and needs some😂
@@adakoehn9101 great idea!
As a person who got severe athletes foot from a shower I felt that flip-flop comment in my soul.

Real Life Mom and Wife, great content I loved it
Those mesh undies where an absolute life savers I wish I had asked for more before I left (I postpartum bled for 5 months straight)

Aww this makes me want to sing happy birthday to my sweet babies in the hospital when I have them someday.
Wait 😮there are MAGNETIC baby pajamas!?!?! That’s genius! Wish I had that for my kids!
They make it yes. Its like $45 per onesie
It would be so easy to make yourself!!!!!! I'm taking notes
@@TakiariMeyrimoxXXx magnets are hazardous to babies for a bunch of reasons, do your research and tread carefully if you go forward with DIYing
I just used baby gowns for the first several months.
I had 3 and the younger ones stayed drawed up with their knees up to their chest and so onesies didn't work.
Plus you can be careful with the umbilical cord and change their diaper easier.
No onesies for several months...
(At least with my 2nd and 3rd baby)
I’ve had a few different brands and didn’t love the magnets.
Surprisingly, I ended up favoring snaps even over zippers 🤷🏻♀️ especially the two way zippers, those things are annoying.
Edit to add: I have 3 kids
Yes! Room to bring home all the free hospital goodies
The curling iron 😂
Just in case, ya know? 🤪
The hospital encouraged us to take home all the extra diapers from the baby bassinet thingie. I learned to definitely leave room in your duffel bag for that!
My youngest is 21 but I remember the nurses taking out the diapers and wipes so they could refill the bassinet. Loved them I had a lot of diapers and wipes when I left.
Don’t feel bad about it! They cannot leave anything in the room that can’t be sanitized between patients, so you take it home or it gets thrown away.
They gave us a hospital diaper bag and encouraged us to fill it with wipes and diapers before we left.
Mesh undies FTW!! And the peri bottle from the hospital.
Yes the difference in the 1st baby and the 3rd is sooo different!
With my second, i let my husband sleep for an extra 2 hours while having contractions, i went for a shower, did my skincare routine and watched some youtube before waking my husband 😂

I love your videos hope your baby comes nice and healthy love your channel praying for the best for your family
I just had a hysterectomy and I honestly prefer the Frida version over the hospitals.
But yup I’m 2 weeks in and I’m still rocking the mesh undies (well the Frida version) daily there is ZERO pressure on my extremely long incision and comfy to sleep in.
I can't wait to be a mom😢 you are so lucky you are one ❤
One step at a time, babe. You'll get there
@@adedow1333 I know I'm just so excited 🥺😭
Yes!! Leave lots of room or I brought an extra bag for my 2nd to take all the extra diapers and formula and undies etc

Mesh undies are THE BEST ! ❤
TUCKS pads too !
So glad I'm not the only one who fell in love with the mesh undies. Those things are insanely comfy.
That's true. Whatever we face, if it's first time and we are want it run perfectly, we'll over-prepared 😂
Mesh undies, yes.... and the giant pads, the regular pads, the tucks pads, the pain relief spray, and all the diapers
Ok but The portable fan was AMAZING when in labor!!
I can totally understand. Full disclosure, while in labor I actually made hubby check to see if I’d packed it after making this video - I did not. Big regrets hahahah
MAGNETIC?????? That's such a life saver for dipey changes especially when they start crawling 😭😭😭
I am madly in love with the hospital mesh undies. I didn't know something could be so soft and so light.
A bag that actually stayed in superb condition for 3 kids 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
HOW IS THIS SOOOOOO RELATABLE???? 😅😅😅😅😅 Just the baby this time
Yeah I will forever bring my fan with me. I didnt labor long enough for it to be useful, but it got pretty hot in the recovery room we were in. I needed it while sleeping especially

Oh, and my mom took all the first photos. I on the other hand b4 going in said, "im handing the baby off and taking a nap" my mom laughed and said "yeah right". She was shocked when i did just that. 😅
Forget pads. Heavy-duty diapers (the kind they make for elderly people) are the best. More comfortable, and honestly, more practical.
All I Took For My First Time Was Super Baggy Clothes. Mostly Dresses. And My Melatonin So I Could Sleep While Contracting. My Second Was The Same. Except No Melatonin. Both Experiences Were Amazing. But Not Good Enough To Have A Third
Yo that mesh undies hit hard. Those things were like gold to me
WHOA WHOA WHOA. We need to back up here. How is it that I've never heard of a magnetic onesie???
I brought 3 outfits not knowing the weight of my baby 😂 (ended up leaving with him in a Newborn Onesie) I brought only my going home outfit, my manz had a nighttime outfit and a going home outfit. Packed our hair brushes, I packed him a comforter cause I didn’t know about the hospital blankets and we packed snacks. Everything else we got from our hospital and they packed us up with two more bags 😂❤
I feel the portable fan! My room had 3 moms, babies and Dad's and it was HOT.n
My son was a surprise/emergency c section. I had nothing. I did eat for 3 days.
Everytime I realised that I'm more relax about my first child than most people lol
My package was just really a pajama for me and some clothes for him and of course all the stuff to take care of him 😅
I already knew I would be tired and not good looking and didn't give a shit as long as baby was good
Getting supplies from the hospital is the best part of the hospital (but honestly the bar for what is the best is pretty low 😅) I'm chronicly ill and I end up in the hospital 4+ times a year and the best part is looting the place while I wait for my discharge papers 😂
P.S. The little portable stroller fan is actually amazing in the hospital (and everywhere else)
I brought a tripod too! And by tripod I mean I asked the nurse if she could take photos of us 😅
Also I was hospitalized at 13 weeks with pneumonia this pregnancy and the hospital gave me a clip-on fan for my bed that I most definitely kept and am breaking back 👏🏽
I dont know if i will ever have my own kids, but i think its great that if i do there are people out there telling it like it is.
The way she skipped the middle child. Always!😂
Packing hospital bag for 1st baby. I didn't. I had my crochet bag and was expecting a routine ultrasound appointment. Nope we're preparing for being induced. Guess maybe I'll pack around 16 weeks.
YES pack as many mesh undies as you can and if you have a preemie that’s safe to go home after a couple days, grab as many preemie diapers as you can. And anything the hospital gives you to help the after birth pain downstairs(ie extra sized pads, diaper thingies, the little squirt bottles). You want to fit as much of that into one bag as humanly possible, I promise.
I was never like this. I always acted like they were the 3rd born.
I was the first born of the first born. My mother was one of 6 and my sister is 12 years younger than me. I was always around babies since I was 12. I used to take care of 3 young ones overnight for my aunts. I was never the nervous mom who went overboard. But love when moms finally come around.
where did you get that bag love it
I actually didn't like the mesh undies because they didn't fit my postpartum plus sized body without having to cut them up the sides. They still felt uncomfortable. So I always brought my own knickers to the hospital. I would use their giant pads, though and the chucks pads as well. I just would rather wash my own cotton knickers than deal with the too tight, uncomfortable mesh ones provided in hospital.
Germany:
Mama to be: „what do I bring to the hospital for the delivery?”
Nurse: “ehm? What do you mean? We provide everything for mama and the baby! Bring yourself and your belly 🤣”
Costs: 10€ per day of stay in hospital
First baby i had that bag packed twenty weeks pregnant. The second one didn’t even get a hospital bag just what i had on and that’s it😂😂
❤💯❤ heb ook mijn eigen push present gekocht 😂 precies wat ik wilde ❤
Dont forget the extra room for taking non reusable free items, they usualy give you alot of newborn diapers but they throw out tge ones you leave bc of germs n such, and also any disposable underwear ,baby blanket, wipes and diaper cream
Random question what bag is that it looks so nice
I over packed with my first then under packed with my second after a 3 weeks earier than my scheduled c section with a surprise NICU stay
