re: Hospital bags for myself, SO, and baby..*help*

Quoting Jennybananna:" Boppy is a nursing pillow"

also in my opinon your bestfriend if you have a csection. i have had 2 and my boppies where lifesavers

I guess I've only seen/heard of the brand I have I got it as a gift. And no c-section for me, docs here aren't scalpel happy like in the states. Only way I'll Get a c-section is if there's something wrong.

Also I don't want to have to make SO carry a bunch of crap room to room like we had to with my friend.

I had a bag for delivery and a bag for post partum. Everything stayed in the car until I was in my recovery room except my delivery bag.

I think I ended up with 1 medium suitcase and a small duffle. So not so bad.

That still sounds like too much to carry around lol. Anything I need and baby needs is provided by the hospital. SO's pjs don't take up much space either. Especially since we'll have the car seat in there too. I'm going in yoga pants and taking one extra pair and extra panties and socks... that's it. Lol.

Hospitals have literally everything you need for the baby already there (except an outfit or 2), they also have a LOT of what you will need. I went in for blood work, and my water broke while I was at the hospital so I had literally nothing but my cell phone an purse with me. lol. Try not to freak out over wondering if you have everything you need, cuz they will have most of it already there! I would focus more on YOU and what might make you feel more comfortable-lip gloss, warm socks, a nice blanket, and *good shower stuff* the first shower after having a baby feels great especially if you have good smelling stuff! Good luck
