Things to Bring to the Hospital When Having a Baby

When you have a first child, it's hard to know what to take with you, especially if you do not have stayed in the hospital before. Even if this is not your first child, May still want to be reminded of what is taken as it is easy to forget the details of what you need and when. There are so many hospital bag list out there, but when I was looking for one to help me pack for my third birth, lots of lists that I found were not 'real world' enough so I just got a group of friends who together have recently had the second or third baby and i went through what we've found useful and what we want we take, but it is not.

There May be some additional items that moms-to-be May want to add, however, this list should contain most of what you actually need the time. Similarly, some items may not be for everyone, but at least with this list you will be deliberately leaving behind, and not accidentally forget!

In our group, we are seniors 20 + delivery and the baby arrived no earlier than 8 weeks to 2 weeks late and everywhere in between, so I would definitely recommend packing your bag sooner rather than later.

Our summary list is here:
