better to be prepared than not 👏🏻

Will i need all of these things? Maybe. Maybe not. BUT… i would rather have them just in case! Am I missing anything?? 🤪 It’s almost baby time!!!! 🧸 #thirdtrimester #pregnancy #laboranddelivery #postpartum #breastfeeding

2025/9/11 Edited to

Preparing for the arrival of a baby can feel overwhelming, but having the right essentials on hand can make a significant difference during the third trimester and beyond. While the list of items might seem long, many parents find comfort in knowing they are ready for various scenarios. It's important to consider not only physical items like clothing, diapers, and feeding supplies but also emotional and practical preparations. For example, creating a birth plan and discussing it with your healthcare provider can help ease anxiety and ensure your preferences are respected during labor and delivery. Postpartum care is just as crucial. Stock up on gentle personal care products and plan for support to help with recovery and new routines. Breastfeeding supplies like nursing pads, a comfortable nursing bra, and a breast pump can make the transition smoother. Remember, every pregnancy journey is unique, so tailor your preparations to what feels right for you. Engaging with support communities — both online and offline — can provide valuable insights and shared experiences that help fill in any gaps you might have missed in your checklist. Ultimately, being prepared means having peace of mind, allowing you to focus on welcoming your baby and enjoying this special time.

Depending on where your at they give you tucks and dermaplast!

bring an extra bag for all the stuff the hospital gives you! also every few hours ask for more pads, ice packs, dermaplast, witch hazel pads, diaper, wipes, etc and put them in your bags. they can’t say no and they’ll bill the insurance for it anyways so get the most you can
