Hey auzziekat,

What will I need to bring into the hospital when the baby gets delivered?

Hi, You will need to bring to the hospital:

For Mom:

Birth Plan

Nightgowns, robe and slippers, hairband, lip moisturizer,something to read, glasses if you wear them. Massage oils, lotions and some music. For Postpartum you'll need, a fresh nightgown, snacks, cell phone and address book,nursing bra (I prefer either a Japanese Weekend or Bravado), just a couple of breast pads ( I like Medela) maternity underwear)if you would prefer not to wear the bizarre net ones the hospital will give you. A going home outfit and toiletries.

For you:

Camera, snacks, toiletries, and reading materials, a watch with a second hand to time contractions.

For Baby:

A going home outfit, a hat, a pair of socks, a receiving blanket ( I like Baby's own because they are big and stretchy).

An infant car seat properly installed in your car
