Also instead of wearing the huge uncomfortable pads from the hospital I bought femal depends and lined the inside with thin over night pads. So much more comfortable then the giant pads and mesh panties.

you should bring your own heavy duty pad over night kind i like the always the hospital ones suck

bring a towel if you want to shower - at least my hospital only had little hand towels. I still managed though. Oh and an extra pillow for your spouse, we were only offered blankets so he had to make his own out of clothes.

I packed at 35 weeks and brought

Sweat pants
Tshirt
Chapstick
Camera
Underwear
Makeup (but I didn't use it)
Toothbrush
Toothpaste
Phone charger
Deodorant
Hair brush
1 onsie

Towel is a good idea thanks and so is depends and your own things like that those mesh undies just don't sound comfy lol. Thanks so much ladies

baby nail clippers or files most babies have nails long enough to scratch or at least mittens or baby socks so baby doesnt scratch him/herself

no clipping until 3-4 weeks pp. Baby nails are fused to the skin at birth.

Eh it truly depends. I clipped my kids nails when I got home from the hospital. They were super long.

mine sons were too! I only posted above because I asked for some clippers at the hospital to clip them because of how long they were. Nurse said it wasn't a good idea and that they would just peel away and fall off anyways, which they did. But they grew back super fast so I was cutting them at home within a couple weeks.

My nurses had no problem with it..
My kid would have destroyed her face they were just extra long.
I think if they are going to peel away then might as well just clip them. You just can't clip them down to the nail bed.

ya I guess if you're careful it's no big deal. Just know to look for an attachment.

i am pregnant with baby # 6 and the first is the only one who waited to come home before getting her nails clipped u just have to be careful or use a file id rather baby bleed alittle from being nipped w clippers than accidently dig his her own eyeball which my oldest did
