As your due date approaches, the more exciting it is to get ready to meet your baby! To make sure you have everything you need to be more comfortable and at easy after your delivery, we compiled a list of things to consider to add to your hospital bag. The list isn't super glamorous but let's get real, you will need these things! Also to make sure you don't over pack, you can call labor and delivery and ask them what is provided to new mothers.
Mama Bag
Toiletries
Lip Balm (hospital air can be drying)
Deodorant
Lotion
Toothbrush and toothpaste
Shampoo
Body wash and loofah
Face wash or face mask for a pick me up
Glasses if you wear contacts

Large pillow
Some hospitals do not have comfy pillows. The pillow can be used during labor and when you start breastfeeding. Try to choose a colored or patterned pillowcase so it won’t be mistaken for a hospital pillow.

Extra large high waisted panties, adult diapers, pads, Shethinx underwear, or Always Discreet underwear
