Hospital Bag – What To Pack

The key to packing your hospital bag is to have the essentials and have it packed 4-6 weeks prior. Don’t wait until the last minute as you’ll be running around like crazy when it’s time to leave and in case you have to deliver early you want your bag easily accessible.

I was SO THRILLED to have my own pillow and blankets from home! The rooms are freezing, and the blankets aren’t comfy and warm. I wanted to feel as comfortable and at ease as possible so having something from home was perfect!
