Labor & Delivery Hospital Bag Checklist

Labor & Delivery Hospital Bag Checklist

Welcome back to Blush & Camo! Baby C is due so soon and today I wanted to share my entire hospital checklist for myself, Chuck, and Baby C.

Chuck and I have read countless books, talked with our friends who are already parents, and I also asked my Instagram community to give their input on what I should pack in my hospital bag.

This post is all the information I’ve complied and narrowed it down to the items I think are the most important.

This is not an all inclusive list, and depending on the mama-to-be your list may look a little different. I hope this list helps you when you are packing for your big day!

MY HOSPITAL BAG

My Hospital Bag: I opted for a weekender sized bag to fit all the items I will need! I love the monogrammed one I found on Etsy. Amazing quality and comes in a variety of colors!

Toiletries:

  • Toothbrush
  • TULA face wash and TULA toner (use code “JULIANNA” for 15% off your entire order!)
  • Toothbrush & Toothpaste
  • Hairbrush
  • Hair ties
  • TULA Moisturizer
  • Body Wash
  • Deodorant
  • Chapstick (this one is my all time favorite!)

Makeup Bag– I’m packing this in case I feel up to putting on a little makeup for pictures after Baby C’s birth!

Cozy Robe

Two pairs of comfy pajamas

A pair of slippers

Two pairs of warm socks

Nursing bras

Going home outfit: I plan on packing a lounge-set

Blanket and pillow from home: I’m told hospital pillows and blankets aren’t the comfiest.

Portable bluetooth speaker: Chuck and I want to create a calming environment during labor and delivery.

Sound machine

Extra long cell phone charger cord: This was the number one most recommended item from my followers on Instagram!

CHUCK’S HOSPITAL BAG

Copy of our birth plan: I’m not sure how Chuck and I will be feeling in the moment so we want to ensure we have our plan written out so we don’t forget anything! I know that many labor & delivery plans don’t go according to plan, but I’m a huge planner so this is more of a comfort to have it more than anything.

Toiletries

Snacks: Many hospitals have no food available at night except vending machine items.

Reusable water bottle

Sweatshirt or two: Hospitals can get cold! I’m also told during labor & delivery I might get very hot and want the room on a low temperature!

Change of clothes

Pajamas

Timer or watch: To time contractions

Reading materials or computer
