What to pack in the suitcase for the moms-to-be.

As soon as you enter the third trimester, it's time to think about packing your maternity suitcase, but what things should you pack for the mom-to-be? Follow this checklist!

  • If you have a due date, the baby can arrive at any time, so to avoid stress and anxiety, it's best to pack for the maternity ward as early as the 8th month.
  • Inside? If you've got everything ready for the baby's arrival, you also need to make sure that your stay in the maternity ward is as stress-free as possible.
  • Pack four to five comfortable outfits, such as loose-fitting T-shirts and leggings, as well as three or four nightgowns.
  • Disposable panties and super-absorbent sanitary napkins to be ready for lochia or postpartum discharge.
  • A toiletry kit with shower gel, shampoo, deodorant, make-up, swollen legs and stretch marks care products, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
  • Something to relax, like music or a book, even if it is advised to rest when the baby is asleep!

Hey guys, so packing my hospital bag/suitcase... and I have a gown to wear to the hospital, some baggy joggers a pair of maternity shorts to wear under my gown... a small pack of baby diapers, 1 pair of socks... as that's all I really have that's still in kind of good shape... a phone charger cord, and before I go in I'll add my breastpump so I can pump as I can in the hospital, I've got storage bags that I'll add as well as maybe a bottle or 2.

You don’t need diapers unless you’re anticipating your baby having an allergy to the average diaper. They provide those in the hospital so no need to waste the once’s you bought.

what is the best soap to bathe with after birth? I plan on breastfeeding and I don't want my baby eating soap residue or toxic lotion. Trying to get my hospital suitcase ready I know it's early but I want to be comfortable with everything baby and me will need for those three days.

At what point are you ladies packing a hospital bag? Are you doing a small suitcase or duffel bag type of thing?

I'm due December 2nd and going to pack mine this weekend. Babes is measuring 3 and 1/2 weeks early and in the 97% percentile so I just want to be prepared. I'm going to pack duffel bag style!

Double digits today! Diaper bag is almost completely packed. Still need one more outfit and a few things but other than that it’s great! Hospital bag and backpack are getting there (my breast pump, disposable underwear, breastfeeding essentials, and haakaa didn’t fit in my other bag and I refuse to use a suitcase) Crib….let’s not talk about that 🙈🙈🙈
