What’s in my hospital bag as a first time mom 🫶🏼

Hi mamas! I’m officially in the third trimester which means we are nesting and preparing for baby girls arrival within the next few months! These are some of the things I have packed and ready for the hospital when the time comes! I’m sure I may change some of it, but this is what we have so far prepared! We also have a bag packed for baby and for dad! Unfortunately it wouldn’t let me add any more photos, so I’ll type what else we are bringing below!

items not shown in photos that I’ll be packing later on :

* long phone charger

* camera + tripod

* Polaroid camera + camera

* snacks

* stress ball + comb for pushing

* pillows

* Dads bag! Including all his necessities + his toiletries, a pillow and blanket for him too!

*shower slippers

* speaker / earbuds

* flameless candles /nightlight

We are beyond excited and feeling all the feels for the home stretch of pregnancy over here! We have our maternity photos coming up too! Which we are so excited about and can’t wait to share :)

I hope you all are well!!

Comment below your hospital bag contents!! I’d love to hear 🫶🏼 Also, as a first time mama, I am still learning! So I would love to hear any suggestions or must haves for our hospital bags. I love to keep things as minimal as possible but also have all that we need! I’ve heard the hospital provides everything you need mostly, so this is very helpful!

... Read morePreparing a hospital bag can be a daunting task for first-time parents, but knowing what to bring can ease your mind. Essential items often include comfortable clothing like nursing bras, maternity underwear, and cozy robes. Don't forget to pack a long phone charger to stay connected with loved ones during your stay. When packing for your baby, essentials like a baby blanket, hats, and burp cloths are crucial. It's also wise to bring extra outfits for the little one, as newborns can be unpredictable. Remember to include toiletries for yourself and your partner, ensuring that everyone has what they need. Consider packing a few comforting items such as fluffy socks, pillows, and snacks to keep your energy up during labor. Tools for relaxation like a stress ball or calming music through earbuds can enhance your experience. Each mom’s journey is unique, so don’t hesitate to personalize your bag with items that make you feel at ease. Finally, remember to involve your partner, packing some necessities for them to ensure a comfortable support system during this exciting time. Good luck, mamas!
